Casey McGee

Casey became a force-free dog trainer after a heartbreaking experience with her own dog Cooper who became dangerously aggressive after she used traditional harsh training methods. It was her short time with him that led her to pursue a career showing that modern, force-free methods of training are effective in even the most severe cases of fear and aggression.


Training Philosophy

We believe that there is never a need for force, fear, or pain when changing your dog's behavior. Even the most severe behavior cases can be safely improved with force-free methods. If we can, why not?
Our formally-educated and experienced staff use only positive reinforcement training techniques - with dogs as well as people! All carrot, no stick, no kidding.

Customer Reviews

  • - Jenny B.
    Thank you Casey for all your help with Sheldon's guarding issues! We will always have to work on this but now know how to handle it. You are excellent at what you do and if it weren't for you - well, I don't know where our little guy would be. He is celebrating his first birthday with puppy ice cream and on the lake (with kids). I can't thank you enough!!!! You were so patient with us and always had great advice. Thank you!!!

    Thanks to your great work with Nelson he's home three days a week and spends his time sleeping on the couch and trying to get the cat to play with him.
  • - Meghann and Jon
    Casey is SO wonderful, as a trainer and a person! She's taught us separation anxiety protocol, helped us with recall, leash reactivity, and has had useful insights for every question we've asked about our rescue dog. Her enthusiasm and support will help even the most tentative dog and fur parents succeed and establish a trusting training relationship!

We've got the answers for your questions

Who are the dog trainers listed on this page?

We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.

How can I select the right trainer for my dog?

Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.

How do I ensure these trainers are competent?

All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.

Why is positive reinforcement emphasized, and what is it?

Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.

Are these trainers equipped to address specific behavioral problems?

Yes, they are. Our trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.

How do I initiate a training program with a trainer?

Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.

How do group sessions differ from private ones?

Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.

Which training techniques do these trainers abstain from?

All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.

When can I expect to see results using positive reinforcement training?

Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.

Can I attend a training session to observe before committing?

Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
