DogGenius

Introduction: Hi there, I'm Chris, the CPDT-KA certified professional dog trainer and behavior specialist behind DogGenius. I also have multiple AKC certifications and lots of experience, so I'm more than ready to take dog training to the next level by using proven methods that will help you get the dog-owner relationship you've always wanted. I've been working with dogs for more than 10 years, from volunteering and working with rescue dogs and getting their dogs ready for adoption to group classes, private lessons and board and train. Check out my website for more info or my Instagram for training photos. videos and highlights of the training process @thedoggenius I always want to be fair to both the dog and the owner, so we start teaching new behaviors using positive training methods, then we are proofing those behaviors in different environments and distractions. Once the dog knows what's expected, a balanced training approach always works best. During training, I am also focusing on helping the owners understand their dog's needs and respond to them appropriately, as well as having the best owner-dog relationship possible. I can provide help if you: - got a new puppy and need to train the foundation skills; - are looking to buy/adopt a dog and need guidance in getting the right one for your needs; - have an adult dog and need to train the foundation skills; - have a dog that needs behavior modification (barking, anxiety, aggression etc.)
