My 7 month old lab is a smart , friendly but rowdy one. Dan was able to connect with him easily and showed me hands on how to train / manage him using pure positive method. He takes time to explain his technique in a very nuanced manner. Also he is always available to help over text or video chat whenever there is any question. I wish I got my pup’s training started with Dan when he was even younger.

Dan has been really great in training our puppy and in training us to reinforce good behavior with our puppy! His tips and training strategy has been priceless for us and our kids - Dan takes time in explaining and demonstrating so we can be confident and continue the training with our puppy after the session is over.

Could not be more pleased with how training is going. Never knew how smart my little Sam was until I had the best trainer to show me! I understand what and the why’s now more about understanding dog’s behavior and what drives them. I feel lucky to have chosen the best. Thank you.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Training Session Packages are available - sessions never expire and booking is dynamic, whenever you and your pup are ready for your next training session.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We introduce every new client to the essentials of how our dogs think and behave! We use hands-on learning to teach you not only how to understand your pup’s behavior, but also to be able to form patterns of success which lead to great, long-lasting positive behavior for the rest of their lives.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve studied Positive Reinforcement Training Methods for 6 years, including the teachings of Dr. Ian Dunbar. I’ve trained hundreds of pups (and their people!) how to have healthy, fulfilling, happy behaviors & relationships for the rest of their lives.
