Dog Training Programs
Lessons in real-life environments: your home, nearby park and neighborhood!
Proudly serving Stark County, Ohio, and areas within a 30-minute drive of Massillon, OH.
You'll see a difference in your dog's behavior at the very first lesson. (And improvement every day.)
Every dog has his unique personality, and every dog/owner team has a unique relationship. That's why all of my programs are customized, and why all family members need to be involved in the dog's learning process. I even encourage pet sitters, grandparents and anyone else who consistently interacts with the dog to attend lessons. Consistency and persistence are key to having a well-behaved dog.
