About
We specialize in real behavior change, not quick tricks. Our training is built on a proven military and working dog system designed to create clear communication, calm obedience, and reliable control in the real world. We do not rely on treats alone or temporary management. We train dogs to understand what is expected and follow through under distraction. That is why our clients see results with aggression, reactivity, anxiety, leash pulling, and off leash obedience. Every program is customized to the dog and the household. Owners are trained alongside the dog so results last after training ends. You get structure, accountability, and a clear plan instead of guesswork. If you want a well behaved dog you can trust in public and at home, this is what we do.

Reaching out to Eric for training has been the best decision we have made. Initially, we were needing some help with socializing our Giant Schnauzer, as well as correcting excessive pulling on walks. Henry had a tendency of being overly defensive and barking at people when they came anywhere near us. Within one training session we noticed a difference in our dog’s behavior. Eric gave us the tools and tips we needed to correct the behavior and with consistency within the training program Henry no longer barks or comes off aggressive when people come up to us when we are out in public, as well as pull me or my wife on walks. Eric has been super accommodating and attentive to the corrections our dog needs and I definitely would recommend him if you are needing a knowledgeable dog trainer who will give you honest feedback and the results you are wanting.

Details: I'm flexible • Therapy or service dog training • Leash pulling • Barking • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
