Dog Training in Oxford, OH

Bill enlisted in the US Navy in November of 1996. During his tenure he assumed duties as a Military Working Dog (MWD) Patrol/Narcotic/Bomb Handler, Kennel Master, and Instructor. He trained & certified over 256 MWDs while in the US Navy. In 2006 he was honorably discharged from active duty. One of the most rewarding things in my Job is when I see the owners come back to pick up their dogs after 15 days of training, and the dogs are so happy to see their owners. Then when the owner sees how amazing the dogs are with the training, it makes me feel great. This has to be one of the most rewarding jobs that there is.

NOTE: I'm getting a lot of requests for private lessons in the Cincinnati area. Unfortunately, I don't travel this far for private lessons. I can arrange to meet halfway IF I have other clients in the area. Otherwise, it cuts too much of my time and I can't get everyone in. I'm happy to take board and trains. If you'd like to discuss further, please send me an email. Thanks for reading! I grew up in Kettering, Ohio around plenty of furry friends! I rode horses competitively in high school and college, deemed myself the neighborhood dog walker, and schooled my first dog love, a golden retriever named Max, in agility. ​ When I decided to get a dog as an adult, I set my sights on a very independent and intelligent breed of dog, the Beauceron. He was a far cry from my gentle and fluffy golden retriever. I wasn't even sure he'd make it to adulthood! I had done extensive research before getting this dog. I had read multiple training books, watched umpteen episodes of "The Dog Whisperer", but nothing prepared me for this bratty, rambunctious, 80 pound destructive puppy that wanted everything HIS WAY. But with patience, perseverance, and lots of treats, two years later I had a wonderful companion I was able to take with me everywhere.  When my friends, who had stopped coming over when he was a pup, started bragging about my dog to everyone they met, I decided to take my success a step farther- to share it with others. I decided to get certified through Animal Behavior College, a well established school that focuses on positive motivational training. Hundreds of dogs later, I'm still so proud of my very first- Montague Beaumont Dahl Cuore.
