ABOUT
Erin Copeland
Owner and Lead Trainer
My name is Erin! I’m a proud graduate of Starmark Academy dog training school, as is my dog, Vulcan. Together we learned all the secrets to how dogs learn and can lead a fulfilling life. I’m here to bring that knowledge to you, as I am passionate about helping owners communicate and bond with their dogs. It's what I do best, and I’m so excited that I get to do it every day. I’m a huge nerd, and I always say that dog training is about as close as you can get to training a dragon or communicating with an alien (my dog is named “Vulcan” for a reason!). I can’t wait to bring that excitement and joy into your home.

Lessons
It’s time to learn! We’ll create a custom plan for your dog based on their personality and yours, as well as your specific goals. I’ll come to your home and give you one-on-one instruction on how to train your dog each week. Each training session is one hour, and bookings are in 4 or 6 week increments. Biweekly lessons are also available!
1 hr Lesson: $50
(Must be bought in 2 lesson groups, minimum 4 lessons)
Temperament
Check
Found a new dog at a shelter and want to make sure they will be a good fit for you? We can help! We will visit with the dog to evaluate different aspects of the dog's temperament such as stability, shyness, aggressiveness, and friendliness. Then we will go over the results of the temperament test with you and help you better understand the dog before you make any decisions.
Temperament Check:
First dog: $50
Each Additional dog
(at same site): $10
