My passion is teaching dogs and their people. I love helping you learn how to communicate with and understand your dog, teach your dog new skills using positive reinforcement, and improve your dog's behavior and quality of life.

 

I am a professional dog trainer, Certified Trick Dog Instructor (CTDI), Canine Conditioning & Fitness Coach (CCFC), and an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator. My wife is also a professional animal trainer; teaching humans and animals how to communicate is our full-time family business!

​

I offer private in-home training for basic manners and obedience skills for dogs and puppies of all breeds, trick training, and canine conditioning and fitness coaching. I also offer dog walking services and socialization field trips.

​

I use treats, toys, and play to reinforce your dog and teach new skills. I do not use corrections or adversive tools to train dogs (no shock collars/e-collars, choke chains, or prong collars). I use marker training and positive reinforcement methods that are effective and fun for both you and your dog!
