Keri Siry
Dog Training
You love your dog.
Some days, though, living with them is harder than you expected. Barking, pulling, reactivity, or just feeling like you're not quite speaking the same language — these things are common, and they're workable.
With over 25 years of experience, I help dogs and their people understand each other better.
About me
I'm a certified trainer through the Academy for Dog Trainers and a certified Family Dog Mediator. My work is grounded in modern behavioral science — not quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions.
I trained for years in busy city environments and now bring that same thoughtful, behavior-first approach to Savannah. Whether you have a dog adjusting to a new neighborhood, a busy household, or just some habits you'd like to work on, I start by understanding your dog as an individual.
My practice is shaped by Kim Brophey's Family Dog Mediation (FDM) framework — which means I focus on why a behavior exists and what a dog needs in order to cope and feel safe, rather than simply suppressing behavior without context. It's a whole-dog, whole-family approach, and I believe deeply in it.
Care for Every Stage of Life
Sessions are one hour and tailored to your dog, your household, and your real life.
I work where the behavior actually happens,
in your home,
on your street,
in your neighborhood.
Common things we work on:
Leash reactivity
Pulling & loose-leash walking
Overstimulation outdoors
Fear & anxiety
Basic manners & household habits
Navigating other dogs or people
Puppy foundations
Pre-dog counseling
Private sessions only
$125 / hour
All new clients begin with an initial session to understand your dog's history, environment, motivations, and stressors — so we can build support that actually fits your life.
Please note: I do not take aggression cases.
If aggression is your primary concern,
I'm happy to point you toward appropriate resources.
What my clients are saying...
"Keri is amazing with dogs — and people too. She really takes the time to understand what works best for you and your pup. After each session, my dog is more relaxed and happy, and I always walk away with simple things to keep practicing. Keri truly listens, cares deeply, and has become one of my dog's favorite humans. That says it all!"

"Working with Keri was absolutely amazing. When we first welcomed our Great Pyrenees Border Collie mix, Wolfie, he was a true handful — his energy was boundless and walks were a challenge. Keri was a lifesaver. She immediately brought calm, patience, and incredibly positive energy into our lives. She didn't just train Wolfie; she taught us how to truly understand him."
