LEASH TRAINING
A fully-trained dog is a joy to take on walks & gets to experience the most in life. For this reason, I have perfected the art of loose-leash walks and am able to offer you the most effective leash training in the business. Training your dog to follow you in any situation while ensuring that you are fully capable under any circumstances guarantees you happy walks.
OBEDIENCE TRAINING
If you've hired dog trainers, watched online videos or read dog training books but your dog is still misbehaving at times, you need a more personalized approach. Your results should be immediate and your progress should be endless. Once I train you to be in control of your dog's improvements, you will see more of the behaviors you love and none of the ones you don't. This will ensure a happy, stress-free dog for life.
AGGRESSION TRAINING
When your dog sees others as threats or competition, they may react. I specialize in teaching dog owners to maintain stress-free dogs in order to ensure safety while still having fun. It's no fun when there's danger whether perceived or real. Once you understand your dog's unique personality and sensitivities, you will be able to avoid the stress that causes reactivity & aggression.
PERSONALIZED DOG TRAINING
This process will be catered to your lifestyle and environment. You will begin making the necessary changes and seeing the resulting improvements in your dog. I will evaluate your progress and we address any remaining issues. Training may take place off site for socialization and exposure therapy purposes.
We address any behaviors remaining and continue improving on previously-problematic areas. We will write a detailed-personal plan for your lifestyle and routine moving forward so you can effectively take the wheel. Your dog should never stop improving and your bond should grow with time.
If you're like most of my clients, your dog already knows words and commands. You need your dog to stop being difficult in public, reacting at home, and being anxious, stressed, fearful or otherwise disobedient when it matters the most. This is what my clients are finally able to achieve!
Arlo and I did 6 sessions with a reactive dog specialist but nothing helped. Within 10 minutes of training with Preston we had Arlo listening to me and not reacting to anything!

I've been doing things wrong but you've given me the tools and the answers I need to make us happy. I can't believe the progress we made in 20 minutes. Thank you!

Experienced. Unique. Vet- Recommended.
Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of your dog, or just feel that you all aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. In my sessions I promote behavioral transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and preventative actions, rather than reactions. I have the tools and professional experience to help you keep your dog on track.

Preston began with the belief that not all dogs are born equal. They each have their own unique traits and mannerisms, and therefore require their own unique and specialized training. That’s where I come in! Whether it’s for basic manners or more complex behavioral issues, I focus on not only training your pet, but teaching you how to effectively communicate with them. This method of training is full of fun techniques that will give you and your pet a happier life together.
I believe it’s never too early or late to teach an old or young dog (and its owner) new behaviors. My tailor-made services are designed with you and your dog in mind to ensure results. I believe in training you while you train your dog. My goal is to provide long-lasting impact through expert training because you have to be able to do this without me.
I have many years of experience in supporting dog owners to make the needed changes in their dog’s habits. My unmatched success and client satisfaction rates are my greatest source of pride.
Dog training isn’t just about your dog. In fact, the most integral part of the training process is you. That’s why I train you to make sure your training plan fits your lifestyle and is tailored to what you need. With practical and flexible programs, coupled with my constant collaboration with the veterinary and rescue community, I'm here to be your one and only source for quality dog training.
When you have dominance problems, you need an expert who specializes in unwanted behaviors.
Your dog knows not to damage your stuff. It's a behavioral issue, not a training issue.
Your dog and other dogs may want to warn and correct each other until they feel completely safe.
When your dog is impossible to manage, you may consider doing the unthinkable.
Your dog may feel that warnings are no longer enough to stop competition.
Your dog may stress out trying to be the center of attention.
