Introduction
"Your Dog’s Behavior Isn’t a Mystery—It’s a Message. I Can Help You Decode It." Hi, I’m Roman, a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant and Holistic Trainer with over 25 years of experience helping dogs and their families overcome behavioral challenges. I developed a trauma-informed, science-backed behavior healing system that works faster and more effectively than traditional methods. My approach is used by leading no-kill shelters and national rescues to rehabilitate rescue dogs—and now I’m here to help you understand, heal, and connect with your dog. What I Offer: 🐾 Behavior Healing: Aggression, reactivity, separation anxiety, fear-based behaviors, and more. 🐾 Trust Building: Strengthen your bond through clear communication, empathy, and trust. 🐾 Holistic Approach: Address the root cause using a body-mind-spirit perspective. 🐾 Personalized Support: Every dog is unique—your training plan should be, too. My methods are ethical, pain-free, force-free, and science-based—because your dog’s emotional well-being matters. Many of my clients see significant improvements after just one session. Why Work With Me? ✅ Sniffspot’s Best Trainer in Oregon & 5th Best Trainer in the USA ✅ Trusted by top rescues, including National Great Pyrenees Rescue & Mastiffs to Mutts ✅ Specializing in complex cases other trainers turn away ✅ A holistic approach that ensures lasting results, not quick fixes The most rewarding part of my work? Watching dogs go from fearful to confident, from reactive to calm, from misunderstood to truly connected with their families. If you’re ready to transform your relationship with your dog, message me now. Let’s create lasting change—together.

Roman is by far the best. I ha e a pet sitting business BLISSFUL buddies in NJ. I was dealing with a fearful aggressive Cane Corso who wouldn't let me into the house. He gave me step by step inatructions to gwt the dog calm. The owners were impressed and i was very happy Roman was willing to take the time to help heal this dog and give him a blissful experience so i could stay true to my Business name. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of training

Andrea it was the most challenging " phone training" I did for a long time....a personal protection dog Is challenging a care professional pet care taker at the door...that's a horror scenario. We had a fear aggressive Dog ( in training with another trainer) behind the door, a smart phone video and knowledgeable Pet care provider....I trusted your experience....you where my eyes and ears....and you did a great job not many trainers are capable of...just the thinking process to call for help before things get worse....I should leave a ***** recommendation on your website :) Thank you for trusting me your safety, to a stranger 3h away, to help you take over control of a fear aggressive 130lbs Cane Corso....

The reviews are accurate. He provides the subject matter, expertise, and patience to train me, so I can train my dog. It feels a little overwhelming at first, but as I learn, so does my dog. We are only one session in, and the results are solid.

Details: 2 - 10 years old • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • Private lessons • Aggressive behavior modification • Biting • Leash pulling • My home, venue, etc.

Thank you so much for trusting the holistic online training approach, you have a complex canine behavior to deal with, and I appreciate you for trusting my attachment-based training approach. Once you could wrap your mind around why dogs show behavior, it’s easy to read them and help them reach their potential.

My wife and I are very happy with Roman's work. We plan to continue working with him to help with our dog's behavior and trauma issues. We've worked with four dog trainers over the past year. Roman is by far the best fit for us. He's the first dog trainer that my wife has been able to understand and fully trust (she immigrated from China and works as an acupuncturist). My only issue is that the fee listed on Thumbtack does not match the fee that Roman actually charges. Thumbtrack lists a fee lower than his actual fee.

Thank you so much for your honest review. My apologies for the confusion. I offer separate types of services, remote energy healing, and dog behavior/training; thumbtack has different categories. You requested dog behavior services through the remote energy healing service. That’s why the price is different. 🙏🏼🐾🐾

We have had our first dog training session and it was highly successful. Our greyhound, Bentley, was needing some assistance in understanding what we needed him to do and we needed assistance in how to tell him! In just a short time during the first session, Roman built trust with Bentley and had him walking outside which had been a struggle. We have a few more sessions scheduled and I look forward to all the progress we will make!
