I trained my first dog at the age of 16 using "The Koehler Method of Dog Training". For those of you under the age of 40, W. Koehler trained most of the animals in Walt Disney's movies of the '50s and '60s. It became out of favor by some because of its use of "negative reinforcement".

Don was fantastic. We knew Karl needed some better training but weren’t quite sure what we needed to zero in on. Don helped figure out what he knew and didn’t know and we are now able to properly train Karl in a way that makes it easy for both of us. I can’t wait to see his progress in the coming weeks. More...

Don gave us hope for our very high energy 8-9 month husky mix. He was very thorough explaining our dog’s behavior and how to correct it. I was very impressed with his knowledge and abilities to train our dog. More...

Thank you very much Adrianna.

I have a 1 year old German Shepard that was aggressive towards other dogs. Don came out and said he was fear aggressive and needed structure.
He also taught me how to be the leader in my dogs eyes. I can now walk him without him pulling after other dogs. I highly recommend his training.

Don helped me train my puppy. He is now very well behaved. He also helped me with crate and potty training. He also lets me call him whenever I have questions. Highly recommended.
