Services
Whether you’re starting from scratch or polishing what your dog already knows, there’s a place to begin.
The foundation every dog needs: sit, down, stay, come, and polite manners at home and out in public.
Walks you actually enjoy. No pulling, no lunging, just a dog that walks calmly at your side, even with distractions.
Freedom with reliability. A rock-solid recall and steady control without the leash, built up step by step.
For dogs with the basics down. Sharper precision, longer stays, work at a distance, and reliability around real-world distractions.
Put that nose to work. Structured scent work that builds focus and confidence, and wears out even the busiest dog.
Every dog is different. Tell me a little about yours and we’ll figure out the right place to start together.

Hi, I’m Cierra DuBois. I earned my certification at National K-9 in Columbus, Ohio, and now work with dogs and their people right here in Rush, NY. I train the dog in front of me, not a one-size-fits-all program, and I’ll be straight with you about what your dog needs and what it will take to get there.
I always knew I wanted to work with animals, whether that meant training them or caring for them. What I love most is watching dogs and their owners make progress together as they learn to work with one another.

Approach
I use a balanced approach. The tools are matched to your dog’s temperament and your goals, and you’ll learn to use them properly so what your dog learns with me sticks at home.
Positive reinforcement to teach new behaviors and keep training something your dog looks forward to.
Clear, fair communication for dogs that need more structure, fitted correctly and introduced the right way.
For dependable off-leash work at a distance. Always conditioned carefully, never used as a shortcut.
