A Humane & Fair Approach

Our approach is to teach owners how to guide their dog to success. We do this by providing individual training and/or behavior plans that are customized based on the needs and goals of each dog and owner. All private lessons are one-on-one in the comfort of your home or other location(s) of your choice.

Owners will learn how to:

  • Train and work with their dog using reward based training concepts, fun exercises and play
  • Change behavior and manage behavior
  • Understand their dog and why their dog does what he or she does
  • Develop an enjoyable relationship with their dog
  • Set their dog up for success in and out of the home
  • Create clear and consistent rules and boundaries
  • NOTE: We do NOT offer quick fix approaches

Our Philosophy

Training and behavior modification are provided using a variety of methods, mainly focusing on positive reinforcement techniques such as using rewards to reinforce and motivate your dog (food, play, interaction and exploration).

We follow the principles of LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive). This gives us the opportunity to meet the dog and owner where they are. The use of LIMA generally starts with using the least intrusive, most positive and humane approach possible for the individual dog. LIMA allows professionals to be objective and critical thinkers who decide when and how to use a variety of training and behavior modification techniques and interventions based on the individual case and situation. Just like with humans, dogs learn, work and are motivated in different ways. LIMA allows us to decide what is the best approach for the dog.

 Benefits To Our Approach

✓ Individualized approach for both the dog and owner

✓ Training becomes enjoyable for your dog as he or she gets rewarded for a job well done

✓ Uses play and enjoyable interactions to create motivation and joy

✓ Teaches skills while setting boundaries and rules in a clear and consistent manner

✓ Fosters a relationship between the dog and owner using a friendly and humane approach

✓ Proven results for both training and behavior modification for dogs of all ages and breeds

Client Testimonials

“Anthony is the best! My 2.5 year-old rescued Pitbull, Ace, was displaying resource guarding and aggression. After working with Anthony for a couple of months both over zoom and in-person, Ace has improved so much.”

Brittany A.

“I was referred to Anthony by another trainer for aggression and reactivity in my rescue puppy. Since working with him my dog has made tremendous progress. I highly recommend anyone with a dog who has behavior problems.”

Sharyn S.

“We LOVE Anthony! He helped us so much with our two special needs rescue pups, even coming over to accommodate a crisis late on a Friday night. He’s so passionate, he’s so knowledgable, he genuinely cares about the animals he’s working with.”

Kendall B.

“We got in touch with Anthony after our now 1-year old puppy, Grace, developed some aggression towards our other dog. After our training sessions with Anthony, she has come so far! Anthony really excels at explaining different techniques and strategies for training, and he is great at making sure we understand.”
