It Started With a Pitbull Named Sally

In 1994 I adopted an American Pitbull named Sally. She had been used as a bait dog and she was, honestly, very mean. A local training course changed everything: within weeks she became the most loving and caring dog you could meet. Friends and family saw the turnaround and started asking me to train their dogs, and 33 years later I am still doing it. If training could reach Sally, it can reach your dog too.

I Rehabilitate Dogs and Train People

Plenty of trainers offer board-and-train bootcamps where the dog goes away for a few weeks and the owner stays home. I have run that format, and here is the truth: the owners usually need as much coaching as the dogs. So I work the relationship as a whole. You and your dog learn together, in your own home, with as many sessions as you actually need. No prepaid packages and no large deposits, just honest work at the private-session rate until the change sticks. For tough cases I may mix in a day-train or a short stay so everyone can take a breath, but the real work always happens with you.
