DogGenius

Greetings, my name is Chris, and I am the professional dog trainer and behavior specialist who is certified as a CPDT-KA, the mastermind behind DogGenius. I hold various AKC certifications and possess ample experience, making me more than capable of taking your dog training to the next level with evidence-backed methods that will assist you in achieving the desired owner-canine bond.

My tenure working with dogs is over ten years, including volunteer work preparing rescue dogs for adoption, as well as instructing group sessions, private teaching, and board and train. I encourage you to check out my website and Instagram, where you can receive further information and training highlights such as photographs and videos at @thedoggenius.

My approach centers around equitable treatment of both owner and dog, wherein we begin teaching new conduct via affirmative training methods before refining these behaviors under varied environmental influences and distractions. Following a dog's comprehension of anticipated conduct, we pivot towards implementing hybrid training methodologies for optimal results. Simultaneously, I emphasize the importance of assisting owners in interpreting their dog's requirements and reacting according to their needs, while prioritizing an unbreakable bond.

I am at your disposal if you fulfill any of the subsequent dog-related needs:
- assuaging common puppy behavioral facets;
- requiring guidance on acquiring the appropriate dog for your lifestyle;
- training essential practices with an adult dog;
- improving behavioral concerns, i.e., excessive barking or aggressive conduct.

You can choose between in-home personal training or opt for board and train within my residence.
