Introduction

Certified Dog Trainer and Behavior Consultant. My reward based method is ideal for dog parents who don't just want a robot-dog who only listens because they are afraid or suppressed. I believe every dog is different and dog training shouldn't be approached with a "one size fits all" mentality. After struggling with my own dog, I decided to dedicate myself to help dog parents understand their dogs better to live in harmony. I'm a member of The Association of Professional Dog Trainers, AKC CGC Evaluator, and a graduate of The Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers where I completed courses in puppy development, basic obedience, advanced obedience, motivation, behavior modification, intermediate/advanced detection, and protection.

Will knows so much about our furry loved ones. With just two sessions, he’s helped me so much with my 15 month old puppy-Ranger! He wouldn’t stop jumping but within a week I’ve had a significant success and now we are working on leash pulling, barking at other dogs, etc. Will is so knowledgeable and professional. He has helped me be more confident about training my dog as well! Grateful!

Our family loves working with Will! He's knowledgeable and pragmatic during his training sessions, always. He listens to your training goals and thoughtfully creates a plan tailored to you and your dog. He has a big heart and provides the support for your dog as if they were literally his own! Thanks Will, for all your help. Christophe L.

Will is the best. My family adopted a chihuahua who was shy and unsure of the world. She also had a fear of- men. Will was able to win over her little heart with his calm, kind, but also firm demeanor. He goes above and beyond for his pups and the families that love them, working to ensure the dogs needs fit into its new family dynamics. Will helped me understand how to help incorporate my kids into the training and worked with the entire family. My little rescue buddy has gained confidence and my kids and I have incorporated good training habits that has set us up for success for years to come. Will- I can't thank you enough!
