Successful training requires participation from both the dog and the owner.

HOW TRAINING WORKS

Training begins by understanding what is driving your dog’s behavior and creating a plan that addresses those root causes.

Training commonly focuses on behavior challenges such as:

Each dog receives a training plan based on their behavior, temperament, and your goals.

Aggression toward dogs or people

Leash reactivity

Anxiety or fearful behavior

Excessive barking

Poor recall outdoors

Lack of obedience around distractions

WHY THIS TRAINING PRODUCES RESULTS

★★★★★
“Dion has been nothing short of amazing, truly setting the standard for professionalism. He has equipped us with invaluable skills to ensure our dog’s social and behavioral excellence, all while going above and beyond to make himself available to us.”
— Danielle Boomer
★★★★★
“At 4 months old, I took my Belgian Malinois to Dion. The training immediately resonated and now at 9 months, we go on hikes off lead with just his e-collar. I also liked that I could be hands on, learning the exercises so we could do homework. Great results and I have a very obedient, well behaved dog.”
— Graham Hillgers
★★★★★
“Thanks to Dion my dog can now live a happy life and I can enjoy alongside him. Whether I need to go grab food or hike a trail, I can now trust my dog to listen and behave. Dion has an almost magical ability to read my dog’s needs and he offers exactly the right solution to have it corrected. I cannot thank him enough for all the joy that I now get to experience with my dog.”
— Ritwil Awasthi
