Hey there! I specialize in dog training using 4 principles: Management, Obedience, Socializing, and Exercise. With this approach, I guarantee enjoyable and successful training for both you and your furry friend. Whether it's puppy training, on-leash or off-leash obedience, I accept all breeds, sizes, ages, and behaviors. You'll leave with a happy, confident, and obedient dog and become the confident leader your dog deserves. Let's get started!

Training Locations: Illinois Chicagoland / Indiana My name is Gerard and I have mastered the techniques to training dogs used by body language and energy to communicate with dogs. I understands how to teach new behaviors through luring, shaping, capturing or molding and have mastered the behavioral principles of operant conditioning. I have studied positive reinforcement dog training techniques as their primary training tool, which allows your dog to learn the desired behaviors while keeping that unique spark that makes your dog so special to you. Most of my customers require 2-3 training sessions because my methods are easy for dogs to understand and learn quickly. I don’t do group lessons because they aren’t as effective. 10 dogs in a class is extremely distracting for your dog, especially puppy’s! Puppies can’t stay focused for more that 1 second. I don’t do this for the money, I do it for the results and the smiles I enjoy seeing on my clients face. Please take a moment to look over my reviews, all my clients have been very satisfied with my services. My private lesson is hands on training to bridge that language barrier gap between you and your close companion. My partner Peekaboo (Patterdale Terrier Mix in my photos) work as a team to rehabilitate other dogs and change their old way of thinking. From anxiety, aggression, to insecurities. I want to share with you an amazing experience of a lifetime. Give us a call or text us! If I missed your call I am in a private lesson and will return your call as soon as possible after that lesson or leave me your number and I’ll call you ASAP. Thank you for your time and looking forward to hearing from you.

I have been working with dogs for over 30 years as a dog behaviorists. The difference between my services and a training typically offered at a chain pet store is I don't just teach the dogs commands. First, I study the behavior of each dog to figure out why it is behaving the way they are and then address the behavior using a strategy appropriate to the desired outcome. Each case is unique because each dog is different. I do not use or promote the use of negative reinforcement training (prong collars, shock collars, etc…) No case is too aggressive to be addressed. I specialize in socialization, treadmill and potty training, as well as food/dog/human aggression and much more. I am absolutely able to travel in order to serve not only the Central Indy area but across the United States and prices are the best in the behaviorist industry. I am not a “Board and Train” I only do home sessions. It is the best way to get the dog you want in your environment. I TRAVEL ANYWHERE!
