ExFed Dog Training, LLC - Brewster, MA

Certified Professional Dog Trainer; graduate of the prestigious National K9 School for Dog Trainers in Columbus, Ohio; Professional Member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP) where I serve on the Board of Directors.

I started training dogs at 10 years old and friends, neighbors and my own dogs with my innate ability with dogs and many referred to me as the local Dog Whisperer. After a 36-year career as a Special Agent in federal law enforcement, I decided to “retire” and pursue my passion and fulfill my dream by entering the world of dog training full-time.

As a dog trainer, I am dedicated to positive and effective training solutions that are balanced and fair for the dog. I am equally committed to furthering my education, so that I am able to offer you the best possible training solutions and methods.

Most problems are solved with structure, leadership and counter conditioning. My methods are not "correction based" and I am a relationship based trainer and use a pressure and release technique, combined with very consistent direction to help dogs succeed and not allow them to fail. I then use constant feedback and praise, as well as treats to keep the dog happy and motivated. I am not a "yank and crank" correction based trainer, although I do use corrections when appropriate (with aggressive dogs) and I am not a "cookie trainer" where I would be a human treat dispenser. I find myself able to use all methods and tools that are appropriate for the dog in front of me and balance the training modalities.

I offer a low cost, comprehensive evaluation/training session ($100) as well as private one-on-one sessions and Board & Train options. Contact and Book us through Petworks today. Thank you.
