I solve dog problems.
I teach my clients how to properly raise a puppy.
I teach my clients how to rehabilitate rescue dogs.
My goal is that you never have to hire a dog trainer again. I teach 21st century methods and techniques.
This is not a class. It's an education.
The focus of my instruction begins with Marker Training.
Marker Training is the foundation of all modern dog training.
I work with all breeds including working, herding and fighting breeds and dogs with strong temperaments that most trainers fear.
I also work with puppies and rescue's with behavior issues including aggression. Dogs with biting issues are my specialty. Call me before you take some other trainers advice to put your dog to sleep because of a biting problem. When other trainers or veterinarians tell you your dog has a mental problem call me before you accept the diagnosis or put your dog on medication. I can help.
I teach 'Pack Structure' for puppies and adult dogs. All dogs need pack structure. You must learn and implement pack structure with any dog especially dogs with aggression issues or you will always have behavior problems. Your dog may love you but you you need him to respect you as well.
This is especially true of rescue dogs that have already learned many unwanted behaviors. Knowing how to build a relationship is essential when you may be rehabilitating your dog too.
These are issues that a board and train situation can't help you with. Nor do you need multiple classes with a trainer. You just need the right information. In most cases classes are rather parochial. To be effective, you must be able to consume a greater quantity of information with greater nuance than can be delivered to you by an oral briefing. Which is all a class really is.
Dogs do better with one trainer...YOU! This is a scientific fact.
This stuff is easy when you know what you're doing and is better done on your own and on your own schedule. Dogs learn through repetition. Any dog training is really about you learning to be consistent.
I love all the wonderful people and the puppies and dogs that I meet.
Solving their dog problems and giving them the confidence they need to train their dog.
I provide 'unlimited' coaching and support all for one low fee. Have a problem next year? You're covered.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Your consultation/evaluation and instruction will be in your home. This requires about two hours. I am available days, evenings and weekends. My fee is for the initial instruction. It includes UNLIMITED coaching and support for the life of your dog plus return visits so I can assure your success. Plan on completing the study links you will receive with your introductory email before I arrive consisting of some short articles and videos to prepare you. A professionally produced instructional DVD and training equipment will be provided according on your needs. Board and train or classes are useless for learning to properly raise puppies or dealing with behavior issues. A trainer doesn't have to live with your dog. You do! A dog does better with one trainer...YOU! This is scientific fact. I will teach you leash handling skills and leash pressure techniques. Leash pressure techniques are still virtually unknown by average pet dog trainers. I can teach you the power of playing tug with your dog. The tug becomes the obedience reward instead of a ball or treats. These are also skills and techniques unknown to novice trainers. Vets and other trainers will tell you not to play tug. What they don't know is there is a right way and a wrong way. I am your instructor and coach. I was trained as an instructor. You are the trainer! I hope you will read some of my reviews before you make your decision. You will see from my reviews that you are paying for and can rely on my knowledge, wisdom, and integrity.
