Al Rose, CBCC-KA,Dog Behavioral Consulting,Certified Canine Behavior Consultant, Knowledge AssessedCertified Fear Free Professional___________________________________________________________________________________DON'T SEND YOUR DOG BACK TO THE POUND! PLEASE SEEK QUALIFIED HELP FIRST. When I began my behavior career, the Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) had just initiated a dedicated behavior department for the first time in its history. Observing that dogs with bite, fight, or phobia issues were the hardest to adopt, I focused 100% of my efforts towards the rehabilitation and adoption of these at-risk dogs. Every day, I looked for the dogs with the word "BITER" on their kennel and set forth to give these challenged dogs a new lease on life. I was mentored daily by the seasoned behavior professionals at PACC who generously offered their time in educating and training me and to whom I will always owe a debt of gratitude. On the Top Dog team, I was regularly assigned the most difficult cases and helped treat and adopt over 100 aggressive and phobic dogs in my 500 hours of service. Since then, I have mentored with 7 dog behavior professionals and worked with hundreds more dogs over the last 8 years. As stated on my business card, my mission today is to continue keeping dogs and their families together. Experienced in Severe Separation Anxiety/Separation Related Problems:I lived with and successfully treated an 80 lb American Bulldog with severe separation related problems including separation anxiety, isolation distress, and panic disorder. She presented with destruction of furniture, windows, doors, house soiling, howling, panic, drooling, hyperventilation, and vomiting. After treatment, she was able to remain calm and peaceful in durations up to 6 hours. I have complete video and photo documentation of the process. Experienced with Severe Dog-Human Aggression:I have worked with many dogs who presented with indiscriminate lunging and biting towards strangers, owners, and children. All were successfully treated within 6 weeks. NOTE: In my opinion, Kim Silver with Building Bonds is the most skilled and experienced with aggression issues and recommend you seek her. You can find her at https://buildingbondstraining.com. For expert witness work involving legal issues, I recommend Sandy McPadden https://sandymcpadden.com. Experienced with Phobias:I have worked with many dogs who presented with fear and panic towards men, handi

Hi, I’m Ethan Davidson! My first priority when working with any dog is to gain their trust, then build confidence. A confident dog is less likely to have behavioral issues and more likely to explore new things, making obedience training easier. It’s important to me that your dog not only to listens to us, but understands that we listen to them. I train dogs so that they know we are in a partnership and when you combine these ideas you end up with a strongly bonded, well trained, and happy dog. Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile; I hope you and your pooch have a great day!

I offer obedience training and behavior modification in San Tan Valley and surrounding areas. I use positive reinforcement in my training, which means we will reward your pup with positive reinforcement, such as treats or toys when they are successful in completing a task, or discontinue unruly behavior. I also use a clicker in the first few weeks of training, because I find it very effective due to the quickness of the clicker as opposed to saying “good” when your pup successfully completes a command or task. I will come to your home for a free 15 minute in home assessment (in my service area) where I can meet yourself and your pup, and I will explain my training techniques and tools that I use to help make your pup succeed in his training. And I will also observe your pup and listen to any questions or concerns that you may have. We will set up a personalized training plan that consist of a 5-week training course. I will come to your home once per week, for one hour, and train your pup, provide training homework for yourself and other information that may be helpful in achieving the optimal training goals for your pup.

Hello and Welcome! My name is Leanna and I am the owner DMB Four Paws Training Academy (also known as just DMB). One thing that drove me to start DMB is the high cost of dog training. Everyone should be able to afford dog training, and everyone should have the experience of owning a well behaved dog with an exceptional family relationship. With saying that, I have lower costs, not because I am not a “good” trainer, I have lower costs and less “fluff” (fancy training facility, etc, as most of the training is done either virtually (so you and your dog can be in the comfort of your own home, or a meeting place), so that everyone can have the opportunity. This also lessens the chances of dogs going to pounds or rescues because their owners cannot handle them. . About me as a trainer: ? Having owned well trained dogs all my life that I trained along with training family members, neighbors and friends dogs and spending 1000’s of hours researching and dedicating my life to learning all different styles of training, I decided to start training professionally and going back to school to become a certified dog trainer and to study canine behavior and learning theory. I than decided to open DMB and have been professionally training for 15 years with over 20 years total life experience. ? A lot of the success is due to my comprehensive follow up if ever needed that are included with all training at no additional charge when it pertains to commands/behaviors that have already been taught but needs some fine tuning, for as much as the owner needs. ? I use psychology and a natural approach to dog training with positive reinforcements. Understanding the psychology of the breeds is also important, as every breed has their own characteristics that can affect the way they learn. At DMB, we train all breeds! ? Training can be very frustrating, time consuming and stressful at the same time, when unfamiliar with the process that works best for your dog, whether he/she is a puppy or an ad

I’m great at what I do because iCareForDogs!

I am a certified animal behaviorist and graduated from Animal Behavior College. I am located in Buckeye, Arizona and base all my training on Positive Reinforcement & negative punishment. I love all breeds of dogs and their unique personalities. I look forward to working with you and your pet, no matter your training requirements!

I work primarily with rescue dogs. Many new owners do not understand the source of their dog's behavior problems in and out of the home. I encourage fostering, foster-to-adopt, and adopting through established rescue organizations. My goal is to work through basic training procedures and minimize the chance a dog will be returned to a shelter, further traumatized. My training philosophy is based on ABC's principles, with some clicker training and modeling using rehabilitated dogs. Much of my training is free of charge; a chronic illness makes firm scheduling a challenge.

Pawsibilities Dog Behavior Training is a private, in-home dog training service. We work with your family and your dog to address your concerns and improve your dog's behavior.

Elimination of Unwanted Behaviors Dog Park Instruction AKC Good Citizen Prep Coach Red Cross CPR Certified I am the proud owner of an 8yr old red haired Husky and my assistant, Nakita. We love to travel and we take daily trips to the dog park where I observe dog behaviors. I graduated from Brentwood HS, NY., where I was born and raised.
