About DognPooch

I grew up with dogs in my life from the very beginning.  However, it wasn’t until I brought home Jill, my beautiful Great Dane, that I decided that dog training was something I’d need to learn.  I knew it was going to be necessary that she was trained from the beginning of her “puppyhood” for both my family and Jill to have a great life together.

After much research and studying the differences between positive-only and balanced training methods, I decided to train with and learn the training techniques of world-renowned trainers Sean O’Shea and Jeff Gellman at their training center in Chattsworth, California.  While many trainers promote a “positive-only” training method, I believe, along with Sean and Jeff, that a Balanced Training method is the best way to strengthen the bond between dog and owner.

My greatest joy is aiding in a dog’s transformation.  Through my training programs, an off-leash way of life is taught to both the dog and you, the owner, opening new doors for everyone.

I’m not only a wonderful trainer, but a man that wants the best for you and your dog.  I understand how hard it may be to leave your dog with “a stranger” and I take the responsibility seriously.  I do everything I can to ensure your dog is treated well during training and you are at ease while he is away from home is done.

In my spare time, I am constantly trying to improve, both personally and professionally.  That means working on personal development, customer relationships, improving training skills, and believing that anything is possible. After all, I took a leap of faith to become a dog trainer.  But as far as I’m concerned, the day I quit the 9 to 5 lifestyle was the last day I’d ever work again. When you’re doing what you love….. everyday is a perfect day.
