Dog Training

Dog training sessions for puppies & adults.

Training sessions include instruction on how to care for your dog and how to communicate with your dog clearly and effectively.

The dog will learn useful daily behaviors such as:

Nosework

Nosework is a fun search-and-scenting activity for virtually all dogs and people inspired by working detection dogs.

The dog learns to detect a specific odor and identify its source, similar to K9 detection dogs who serve with the police and custom authorities.

My name is Esti Araten

I am a certified Karen Pryor Academy (KPA CTP) dog trainer. I specialize in nosework.
I am a Certified Nosework Instructor (CNWI), awarded by the National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW), the world’s leading canine scent work sports organization.

I train dogs using only positive reinforcement methods.
I do not use punishment = corrections.

My dog training practice is based on scientific knowledge, particularly the science of applied behavior analysis (ABA).

I completed a diploma in Applied Animal Behavior at the University of Washington, Washington State, USA (UW-AAB).

I have extensive knowledge of dog behavior and I make sure to keep up to date on the subject. I give lectures on dog behavior, dog training and nosework in various frameworks.
