Petsmart Dog Training

Wappingers friends... please keep eyes out for Bentley so we can get him home safe.

Nothing upsets me more than seeing dogs being walked on prong collars, especially puppies who should NEVER have a choke or prong on.

As someone who has always had large breed dogs, I can attest personally to the fact that you do not need a corrective collar to walk your dog. In fact, many large breeds are prone to Larangyl Paralysis (or lar-par) and the use of constrictive apparatus can increase those chances and sometimes even create issues that weren't there.

I think there is alot of miseducation regarding strong dogs and corrective collars. Education is so important and that's what solid trusted trainers and behavior specialists do.

I have experience training many breeds from Dobermans to German Shepherds, Great Danes, Akitas, Rottweilers, Irish Wolfhound, Cane Corso and more. I have seen the success that pet parents have when they work hard, understand their dog, and put in the work.

I don't train your dog. Instead I help you understand what your dog is saying, what they mean, and what they want. I teach dog self-regulation and how to take ownership of their behavior instead of the pet parent having to do it.

Raising a dog is exhausting enough so when I can help build a bond between human and dog, one of mutual respect, it makes me incredibly happy.

If you have any questions or are unsure of how to walk your large breed dog please reach out. I would love to assist. 🐶
