Dog Training in Newton, MA

I have 38 years of experience training service dogs. I specialize in dogs that help folks with balance, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I also train non service dogs with behavior issues, leash walking, excessive barking, nervous/anxious behavior, fear of infants,toddlers, and small children, to name a few. I also have a well-behaved pack to assist me in training proper dog on dog behavior. I love working with dogs. I've done it most of my life, and I wouldn't have life any other way. I also really enjoy the education of humans and how to help them better understand their dog. I love the "Ahhh-Haha" moments when a human gets how to help and assist their own dog. I just can't get enough of happy dogs and happy humans. My reviews truly speak to my experience, communication skills, training experience, and value in my field. Please feel welcome to reach out, and let's chat! I welcome the opportunity to help you and your dog.
