Hi! I’m Persephone (Seph) Arlen Addison (she/her), a professional dog trainer offering personalized, one-on-one, in-home training specifically tailored to your dog and your lifestyle.
I work with puppies and adult dogs, focusing on practical skills, confidence, and long-term behavior change.
I’m a great fit if you’re looking for:
Gentle, science-based training (no fear or punishment)
Support with puppies, manners, reactivity, or behavior challenges
A trainer who focuses on both dog and human learning
Clear, compassionate guidance without judgment or pressure
I've trained hundreds of dogs of all ages, breeds, and backgrounds. See some of my students below!
Personalized Training That Fits Your Needs
I've been a professional dog trainer for four years, at PetSmart and now working independently. My background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Biology, and as an autistic trainer, working with dogs and their people is a lifelong special interest that shapes my thoughtful, detail-oriented approach
To me, there’s no such thing as a “problem dog”, only dogs who need a little extra patience and the right kind of attention. My training is based on positive reinforcement and behavior science. That means no shock collars, no punishment, and no intimidation—just clear communication, consistency, and rewards that help dogs learn faster and feel safe.
