About
Welcome! I offer a unique Board & Train program from the comfort of my home.
My passion is creating healthy relationships between owners and their dogs. An owner’s relationship with their dog should be a joyful ever-growing bond; not a constant source of stress.
Your dog will be taught to understand what behaviors are and aren't acceptable. The program includes not one but 3 hours of training per day for your pup over a 10 or 14-day period. The number of the days will depend on your dog's needs when we speak. Your dog will be away from home, accompanied and well provided for.
What’s unique about my Board & Train program?
• I’ll truly have time to train your dog as a maximum of 2 dogs are admitted at a time. Each dog is trained individually.
• Your pup will have the comfort of being in a residence, not a training facility.
• Indoor training is done in a real home where many real-life misbehaviors occur. For example, clothing and the couch are not to be eaten, guests are not to be lunged at, food on the counter is off limits, and so on.
• Outdoor training for things such as leash-pulling, not being agressive toward other dogs, sitting for crosswalks, and so on are done in large park areas and a residential neighborhood.
• Puppies under 4 months old can be admitted (which is not allowed in commercial facilities)
• Most of my training doesn't include treats. Your pup will behave because it sees you as the leader, not because it expects treats.
When your dog returns home, there's 4 hours of private lessons included at your home, to learn how to reinforce your dog's good behavior and prevent backsliding to old behaviors.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

We are so thankful to Sean for taming/training our German Shepherd pup. He grew 40lbs in a few months and wasn’t interested in behaving consistently. Sean got him on a great daily schedule and taught him to walk without pulling, fetch and recall while remaining focused on us instead of the cars and people going by. Sean also taught him to relax in place which could not have been easy! Our dog is such a pleasure now and we are so grateful to Sean. We highly recommend his services to anyone that wants their dog fully trained and easy instructions/training for the owners.

Sean took my dog Hobbs in for 14 days. Hobbs is a very stubborn boxer and was basically in control, leash pulling, eating socks or shoes, and only listening when he chose to but thanks to Sean, Hobbs and I have basics training needed to move forward!!!!

Sean did a great job with the board and train of my then 13 week old golden retriever puppy Parsley. She came home with a firm grasp of the foundations. She now walks well on loose leash, and with the ‘place’ command she can be out in the home without being destructive. This has helped immensely with her seperation anxiety. Game changer! He is very responsive and helpful. Thank you so much!

Sean Fox was a blessing for our dog. Buster used to bark aggressively at people and other dogs when passing by them during walks. In addition, I always felt excessively pulled by Buster while walking. It felt like I was being walked by Buster instead of the other way around. Sean reassured us that this and other misbehavior would be corrected by his dogtraining. We’ve been very happy with Buster’s behavior ever since he completed his training 2 years ago. I highly recommend Sean Fox when looking for a trainer!

Our puppy Fred was a handful when we got him. We spent a month finding and cleaning up pee spots in our home. Sean answered all our questions and reassured us this would no longer be an issue after his general obedience training and sure enough Fred came back potty trained and a well behaved little pup.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We’ll discuss specific undesired behaviors your dog is exhibiting. In addition, we'll briefly discuss the dog's past environment, for example, was it a rescue dog to see if there is anything that could have reinforced the ways the dog is acting out. I will answer any further questions you have regarding training and together we’ll decide which training is right for your dog.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I've worked with dogs and puppies who have issues with any or all of the following: leash pulling, show aggression or acting out toward other dogs or people, biting, eating furniture, eating garbage outside, jumping up on people, taking extended time going to the bathroom, acting up at the dog park, barging out the door and other common misbehaviors. Also, for dogs who don’t know basic commands.
