Our Approach & Philosophy
We approach each dog as an individual, helping them to be the best version of themselves while teaching you how to be the best owner for your dog. Whether your aim is to address a behavior issue, train a new puppy, achieve advanced skills or simply learn how to be the best dog owner, we are here to help. Through one-on-one lessons, we will help you understand who your dog is, then come up with strategies to achieve your goals.
You will learn to:
Understand who your dog is and why they do the things they do.
Train your dog using reward-based training methods, enjoyable exercises and play.
Address your dog’s sometimes inconvenient behavior(s).
Provide appropriate enrichment and exercise opportunities.
Develop an enjoyable relationship with your dog.
Guide and set your dog up for success, both in and out of the home.
Create clear and consistent rules and boundaries.
NOTE: We do NOT offer quick-fix approaches.
Our Philosophy
Our training techniques and behavior modification strategies include a variety of methods, mainly focusing on positive reinforcement to reward and motivate your dog. This means using food, toys and play, praise and attention, and/or exploration as rewards for behaviors we want to see more of.
Though we mainly focus on using positive reinforcement and reward-based techniques, we DO NOT limit ourselves to one training method. We are open to using whatever approach and training tools you want to use with your dog, as long as they are in the best interest of you and your dog.
Our goal is to help both of you to succeed. Just like humans, dogs are individuals, and they learn, work and are motivated in different ways. Together, we will determine what is the best strategy to achieve your goals so you can live the best possible life with your dog.

Client Testimonials
“I had taken 16 weeks of puppy training and had a private trainer several times before I found Anthony. He is amazing. He noticed immediately what we were doing wrong walking Teddy. Teddy was anxious of loud trucks, bicycles and some other dogs. I can’t thank Anthony enough. I have a happier dog and now we all love our walks!”
-Deb C.
Before working with Anthony, walking with our dog Kent was extremely stressful. He struggled with leash pulling, and leash reactivity which made even short walks feel overwhelming. From the very first private dog training session with Anthony we saw improvement. Anthony took the time to explain why Kent was reacting the way he was, pointing out his body language, triggers and stress signals. The lessons were clear and realistic and were super easy to apply in our walks.
-Stephanie S.
Anthony is an exceptional dog trainer. I’ve seen a huge difference in my skittish Cane Corso, Xena, since starting with him three months ago. His unique focus on using a combination of play and obedience was Xena's main motivation for learning, and the results have been remarkable. Because of Anthony I feel I have a Stronge bond with my dog. I highly recommend him.
