I believe that every pet dog has the potential to achieve the responsiveness expected of a dog competing in the obedience show ring. I train all dogs towards this level of reliability. Expect more from your pet! Nathan began formal dog training when he was just 10 years old. He started his professional dog training business (formerly Santa Barbara Pet Services) in 2001 and has been training dogs full time ever since.

Report
When our dogs were puppies, they both went through training with Nathan. The training gave them both a solid foundation of understanding obedience commands which have proven to be invaluable at times. Our Shepherd requires extensive exercise during the day so as he got bigger we opted for a different day care environment for him.
Philosophy

I believe that every pet dog has the potential to achieve the responsiveness expected of a dog competing in the obedience show ring. I train all dogs towards this level of reliability. A show dog is nothing more than a very enhanced pet. You will be taught how to extinguish bad behavior starting the first day.

Ultimate Puppy Training8 sessions of private training
Report
Temperament exercises - these can detect dominance issues with your young puppy so you can start therapy right away. By gently establishing that you are the pack leader, you can avoid many potential behavioral issues when your dog gets older. Breed awareness - I am familiar with most breeds and am aware of their general strengths and weaknesses.
