Training isn’t just for dogs and cats—our exotic companions thrive on it too! My exotic pet training services focus on helping you build a trusting, cooperative relationship with your fox, lemur, capybara, or other unique pet through positive reinforcement techniques.

Whether you’re working on crate/lockout training, recall, husbandry behaviors, or confidence-building, each session is tailored to your animal’s individual personality and comfort level. Together, we’ll create a training plan that makes everyday care easier, reduces stress, and strengthens the special bond you share with your extraordinary friend.

Virtual Coaching

Every exotic pet deserves understanding, patience, and the chance to shine. With virtual coaching you’ll get personalized, one-on-one guidance to help you build trust and create smoother daily interactions—all from the comfort of your home.

Using positive reinforcement and species-appropriate training techniques, I’ll help you teach basic life skills like coming when called, or work through common challenges like crate training, husbandry behaviors, and confidence-building, while supporting your pet’s emotional well-being every step of the way.

Whatever unique animal you’ve decided to share your life with, virtual coaching makes it easy to create cooperative and connected relationships—no matter where you live.
