The word got around quickly about “the guy who was successfully training dogs that could not be trained.”  and before I knew it, I was a regular guest on WCNBC TV as “Carolina’s Dog  Master.”  Spending 2 years on TV helped me share my message about my dog training philosophy.

Over time, some trainers I had trained in my methods left the company and opened their own dog training companies in Charlotte. They took the philosophy and techniques we had developed with them, and just like that the Charlotte dog training scene became gentler, more loving, and more balanced.

Funny enough I did not recognize nor took any credit for any of this. Maybe because I was too busy “working” and “growing the business” to appreciate all the good work we were doing.

It took selling the business, getting away from dog training and a few years of “retirement” to truly acknowledge the real impact I & my trainers have had in the lives of thousands of dogs and their families. Right here in Charlotte

I gave a TED talk.

Dog Training FAQ’s

What age should I start training my puppy?

Puppy training should start as soon as you get your new pup home. It’s not just obedience that you need to teach your new dog, but teaching them essential skills that they will need.

How can I prepare for dog training sessions?

The best thing that you can do is to try and stay as neutral and calm as you can, as any excitement or nervousness on your part can directly affect the outcome for your dog’s training.

What makes a good dog trainer?

In our experience, motivation is one of the highest things on the list that a good dog trainer should possess, especially when it comes to building the relationship between you and your dog.

Why does my dog listen at home but not on a walk?

The key difference is the amount of distractions that your dog will have to deal with, as dogs cannot generalize the two. It’s important to practice what you learn in a variety of environments.

What are the “seven basic commands” for dogs?

The “seven basic commands” make up the foundation of training techniques and other commands that your dog will need to know and consist of come, down, heel, no, off, sit and stay.

Does in-home training work better for dogs?

We’ve been training dogs for almost 2 decades now and in that time we have found that dogs and owners both respond better to training in an environment that they both find comfortable and relaxed.
