Clients can start with smaller session packages and upgrade as we go.
We have a variety of options. We can simply watch and entertain your dogs, train your dogs while we watch them. Walk your dogs or even run your dogs.

Let us care for your pets and you can focus on your job or your vacation.
I utilize a variety of training techniques with a focus on modern operant conditioning emphasizing positive reinforcement and animal choice.

My animal training journey began in 1992 with my loving 8-year-old Doberman mix. I trained her for state and local obedience competitions. I acquired my B.S. degree in Animal Ecology with a minor in Biology at Iowa State University. From there I went into the zoo field where I eventually became a curator.
​
In 2010 I began teaching group classes for basic dog obedience part-time with the Garden City Recreation Commission and Garden City Veterinary Clinic.
​
In 2018 I left the zoo field to start Buchman Best Behaviors to help our community understand their furrier family members. Since the switch, I have been happy to help more and more families in SWKS and surrounding states with fear-free/pain-free methods. From basic obedience, puppy training, to reactive animals that need a gentler touch.
