Dog training is a conversation. I'll help translate.
You are delighted by your dog—they are the silliest, sweetest, and smartest! But let’s come right out & say it... their behavior can be overwhelming, frustrating, and confusing sometimes! Together, we can turn those challenges into opportunities for growth, connection, and relief.
Let's do it together.

Dreaming of stress free vet visits?
The world is brand new for your puppy—let’s set them up for success and stop unwanted behaviors before they start. I’ll help you navigate the challenges so you can enjoy this wonderful and adorable stage!
It's hard being a dog in a human world and hard being the parent of a dog who's struggling! Whether you are seeking guidance on basic training or with specific behavioral challenges, I will create a personalized plan to tackle your dog’s unique needs, help you understand your dog's behaviors, and help set you up for success in your everyday life.
It can be very stressful for you and your dog when you have to force them into vet/grooming related procedures that clearly make them uncomfortable. This doesn't have to be the norm! Together we can work towards turning everyday handling into opportunities for trust building, deepening bonds and ensuring your dog receives the care they need
without all the stress.

one-on-one Coaching
Ready to make lasting changes in your dog’s behavior? We’ll tackle your pup’s training needs together. I'll guide you every step of the way.
During one-on-one coaching sessions, I work directly with you and your dog in your home, providing tailored guidance and hands-on instruction. This method allows for a deeper understanding of dog behavior and training, real-time feedback, addressing specific challenges you’re facing, and helping you and your dog build new behaviors at a comfortable pace. Whether you’re working on basic manners or more complex behavioral issues, this personalized coaching ensures that you gain the skills and confidence to create lasting, positive change in your dog’s behavior.
Day Training
Struggling to find the time to train your dog? Let me help by laying the groundwork, then I'll teach you how to carry it forward.
During day training sessions, I work one-on-one with your dog, teaching them new behaviors and addressing challenges while you’re at work or accomplishing other life tasks. I visit your home multiple times per week to train directly with your dog. We will meet once a week for a transfer session where we’ll go over what your dog has learned, teach you the necessary skills and give you actionable steps to reinforce the training at home. This approach allows your dog to make progress with a smaller time commitment from you. It’s a great option for busy dog parents who still want consistent training and steady progress.

Rebecca is a godsend! She is an incredibly talented and deeply knowledgeable dog trainer and behavior expert who completely turned things around for my shy and fearful adopted rescue pup and I. Not only are her methods force-free and positive reinforcement based, they are highly effective, and she is also very skilled at supporting dog parents during the really tough moments of working with our pups. I highly, highly recommend Rebecca and am so incredibly grateful that we found her!”

Meet The Trainer
Hi there! I'm Rebecca, the founder of Rebecca Frank Dog Training LLC.
I’m so thrilled that you’re here and ready to take the first step toward understanding your dog’s behavior!
As a Certified Dog Trainer and Behavior Consultant (CPDT-KA, Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner, Fear Free Certified Professional), I understand how important it is to feel confident in the professional you're working with. I want you to feel supported, informed, and well guided throughout this journey.
The journey I plan to take you on will help you navigate the deeper concepts and ideals that will transform how you understand and relate to your dog. Dogs are trying to navigate in a world made for humans. They feel big emotions but often don’t have the skills to express or manage them in the ways we'd prefer.
When we see a dog’s behavior as a reflection of their internal experience rather than "bad behavior", we open the door to teaching and connection instead of misunderstanding and punishment. Focusing solely on stopping unwanted behaviors addresses only the surface, while true change happens when we address the emotions driving those behaviors. Punishment may suppress symptoms temporarily, but it doesn’t resolve the underlying struggles.
Together, we’ll focus on the root causes and building the skills both you and your dog need to move through life together with confidence, clarity, and a deeper connection.
