I've dedicated my entire life to becoming the best family dog behaviorist and trainer you can hire. I have 4 decades of experience and have learned from many of the best trainers in the world. I have successfully rehabilitated many behavioral cases other trainers said were "unfixable" or had failed. Some of these cases were far worse than most people can imagine. I've personally trained well over 14,000 dogs for people from all walks of life including a few big celebrities, however they are the exception not my norm. Most of my clients are everyday people that care deeply about their dog and want the best for them. To learn more about my educational background and training experience please visit my website.
I train using love and the latest advanced electronics. My specialty is board and train programs where your dog lives with me for a short time. This is the best way to address behavioral and training problems and gives me complete control of your dogs environment while they are being trained. I also offer private lessons in Granada Hills if you prefer to do the training yourself. For 3 week boarding and training programs I give a $500 discount to rescue dogs, puppies under 1 year, people over 65, students and military personnel. I also give 3% discount for all cash payments.
I particularly love working with puppies to give them the best start possible. The puppy program is 3 weeks to give you back a puppy that is well on the path to becoming the best dog you've ever had. Follow-up is included for the lifetime of your dog.
My experience uniquely qualifies me to rehabilitate rescued dogs that have serious issues with fear or aggression or both. I have a special ability to quickly zero in and address the needs of these dogs providing them with what they really need to heal beyond the love they are already receiving. I call it "behavior balancing". Currently, I work with multiple rescues in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.
The basic commands to sit, stay, come, heel and lie down are taught as well as impulse control and general manners around people and other dogs. The goal is to return to you a calm, well balanced dog in the time frame you give me to do so.
For board and train programs I have limited space so reservations are almost always required. If you are planning to have your dog's training coincide with being out of town call early to assure I have space available.
