History

Established in 2012.

I am a «Real-​World» dog trainer, who will work with your dog in real-​life situations. It is highly unlikely that there will come a point in time when your dog is at the dog park with tons of dogs running, playing, and wrestling around them and they will be sitting waiting for you to call them, it rarely happens, which is why it is important to have a dog that has 100% off-​leash recall abilities no matter how high the distraction is. Your dog might lie down on command or sit on command and «stay» at home but not when distracted by kids running around, ambulances driving by, baby strollers rolling by, or other dogs barking and lunging at them. Your dog should do a solid «down/​stay» AND a solid «sit/​stay» until you give another command, with no problem. If you treat your dog like a kind/​Queen, dont be surprised when they set rules for THEIR kingdom. Because we deal with a lot of aggressive dogs, I have incredible structure in my training.
