Understanding dogs and applying well-reasoned methods is as much of an art as it is a science. Glenn provides behavioral consultation services and private in-home training. He is experienced with all types of behavioral issues. His passion is working with the most challenging dogs that others may have given up on to bring about positive results.
There are numerous methods used to train dogs. Generally speaking, there is 'tool' based training, 'food' based training, and 'relationship' based training. Realistically, all methods incorporate all three, but there can be drastic differences in the approach, application, and effectiveness. The three training methods can use fear, food, or fun. Any of these training methods can achieve results with the right dog and the right trainer. But achieving results with harsh methods is unnecessary.
Often 'tool' and 'fear' based trainers use a choke chain, check chain, prong collar, e-collar, or other 'correction tools' on dogs. Since none of these 'tools' are necessary, Glenn advises against using any of them on any dog. They are not needed!
Leadership starts by being in control, not fighting for control. This does not mean you need to become a dictator. Dictators are feared, not respected. You are not your dog’s peer, but you should be their best friend. After all, you chose them. Even though they are not human, they are still family, so treat your dog like a family member, not a competitor.
How do you know when you are becoming the leader you should be? Your dog will be responsible to you, not for you, or indifferent to you, and the vast majority of the time your dog will be cooperating with you, not just submitting.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
