Doug spent a great deal of time explaining his method. Must say it's different, but makes sense. I'm going to do it in the new year and I'll follow up with results. I'm excited read more

We can't say enough great things about Doug! We brought him in to help with our anxious/aggressive rescue dog, A'ja, and he changed everything. It really is shocking when on the first visit he had A'ja laying down relaxed by looking in her eyes (which was quite the opposite of her behavior). Not only did Doug work with A'ja, but more importantly he taught us how to handle situations better as owners, which gave us the tools we needed to continue reinforcing her progress at home. His patience, professionalism, and genuine care for dogs shine through in every session. We are so grateful for Doug's guidance. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer who truly understands dogs and more importantly their people! read more

If you're like me and have tried everything, and are at your wits' end with your unruly dog, give the DOuGTrainer a call. The technique Doug uses is unlike any I'd ever seen or read about, and it has worked wonders for our 4-year old Lab, who had no boundaries and was often unmanageable. Four weeks in, our household is much calmer and our dog's anxiety level has plummeted. We still have more work to do, but we look forward to it because of the results we're seeing. We highly recommend Doug's training, it's working for our dog and (happily) his people. read more

Doug has done an amazing job helping me learn how to better communicate with my 2 Cocker Spaniels! They both had high energy levels and wouldn't listen while they were in that state of mind. Through patience and eye contact drills they have both become different dogs. After only a couple of months I've seen a lot of progress. I can now talk on the phone without them flipping out (barking, fighting with each other), I can open the blind and window without them barking and howling at every noise and I can enjoy the screen door being open as well. Doug's approach and methods are very professional and he has a lot of patience while working with the dogs. He's very knowledgeable and is always willing to help and to take your calls. I've learned a lot of valuable lessons which has helped me to have a better relationship and understanding of my dogs. Doug's approach is unique and works really well. If you need a dog trainer and want to learn how to communicate better with your dog, then give Doug a try! Thanks Doug! read more

Let me begin by stating that we have had an outstanding experience working with Doug. But to appreciate what he has done, you need to first understand what he was faced with. Ten months ago, our senior dog was joined by two incredibly rambunctious puppies, all three are Old English Sheepdogs. Very quickly, our visions of puppy playtime and cuddles were dashed when our sweet little babies turned into the cutest Tasmanian devils you have ever seen. Non-stop energy, they mobbed us whenever and wherever we walked around our home and while they were never mean or aggressive, puppies pulling on clothes and jumping on us, got exhausting. We quit entertaining in our home because we were concerned about how the puppies would act around guests. This was a concern that only grew as our little puppies also grew into very large puppies. Desperate, we started our search for a dog trainer but were frustrated that so many trainers in Las Vegas train by taking your pups out of the home, which is not something we were comfortable with. Then we happened upon the DOuGTrainer website. Doug presents a different approach. We read his blogs and watched his videos. I didn't understand his method, but every one of his reviews said it worked. I called Doug - and that was the day that everything changed. Two days later, Doug walked into our home and without saying a word or touching our dogs, he had them calmly laying on the floor, muzzle down watching him within about 8 minutes. They didn't mob him, they didn't grab his clothes, and he did it all within the first 3 steps inside the door. It was amazing to watch. Over the next several hours, Doug trained us, not the dogs. He taught us how to listen with our eyes and talk with our actions. He was our interpreter, explaining what our pups were trying to tell us and what they needed from us. As Doug worked with us, the pups responded, they relaxed, they were completely content. That was 3 weeks ago and thanks to Doug's patient, knowledgeable, and professional training, we've seen a huge transformation--with immediate results. As I have mentioned, what really sets Doug apart is that his training isn't just about the dogs--it's also about teaching us as owners how to effectively communicate with them. He helped us understand how to "speak" to our dogs in a way they truly understand, which made all the difference. His methods are kind, effective, and grounded in real experience. We now have calmer, more responsive dogs--and a much more peaceful home! If you're looking for a trainer who truly understands dogs and teaches you how to be a better owner, we can't recommend DOuGTrainer enough. I truly believe he can help no matter what the circumstances. If you are experiencing challenges with your furbaby, I encourage you to give him a call, you won't be sorry. read more

My review is a bit overdue but it's definitely worth the read. We rescued 2 pups last year who had some earlier trauma. At first, we tried the traditional obedience training for them to learn the basics, but they were both so overly excited and timid during the training that it didn't work. We took a break to let them settle in and then began our search for a new training program. One day, I was at HapE dog grooming waiting to get my pups in for their appointments when another dog came into the store and my pups started the whole barking and lunging routine. Quietly, the other dog calmly sat next to her owner as I was full of apologies to her for my pup's behavior; she raved about Doug Parker's training program. The way she explained it was that she hired this dog whisperer guru, Doug who has a unique approach that is really hard to explain but trust me it works. It will be the best money you've ever spent. I went home, looked him up, read every word on his website, watched his videos, and checked out all of the glowing reviews on yelp. When I called Doug, he really took the time to understand what was going on with my dogs and explain his approach. Doug told me his approach is simple. It just takes patience. He told me I already have the tools to make this work, he just has to show me how and then my husband and I will do drills with the pups throughout the day for the next X # of weeks. I knew that I'd be spending the next 15+ years with these pups and I wanted the best possible relationship with them, so I was willing to put in the work to make that happen. Doug came out to the house for the first visit and spent several hours teaching us how the program works and practicing the drills. He truly has a deep passion for teaching pet owners to be leaders so that we can have great relationships with our dogs. He teaches owners everything he knows so that we can be great leaders and our dogs are happy. My chihuahua was dealing with some previous trauma in his life before we adopted him and was really high strung and relentless with his barking and growling. Doug was just as relentless in his patience in working with him to get him to relax. The basic idea behind the training is to develop a relationship with the dogs (this involves holding their eye contact) to the point where they feel relaxed enough to submit. There are all kinds of "tells" the dog will communicate during this process from looking to the right, left, center, sniffing, scratching, yawning etc.. As a leader, you need to read these tells and learn that is the dog's behavior telling you what he/she needs. Stop yourself from creating a narrative and listen to what the dog needs. The dogs' needs are already pre-programmed in by nature. When you can get the dog to be so relaxed, they are at a lower energy level to learn what you want from them. Too often, owners try to train their dogs when they are at their high wild animal levels and that is setting the owners and the dogs up for failure. They can't learn when they are in that state. So first, you need to get your dog relaxed and trust you to lead them. It's also very important that everyone in the house is following a consistent training program or else the dog/s get confused, and the process takes longer. It's hard to put this program into words. You must experience it, practice the drills and then one day the magic happens, and you think he switched your dog because it's not the wild animal out of control excited dog that it used to be. It's relaxed, healthy wet nose, wet eyes and well behaved. Doug is the most kind and patient man I've ever meet. He truly has a deep understanding and passion for helping dogs and owners develop solid everlasting relationships. He definitely has perfected the art of communicating with dogs and it's fascinating to see his training in action. I highly recommend Doug. read more

Don't expect what you'd normally expect from a dog trainer. Doug says that he doesn't so much train dogs as he does the dog's owners. His style is quite unorthodox, but it's effective. You'll need to spend time and patience (lots of patience) to change your dog's behavior, but change it will. Our dog is a seven year old rescue, so we had years and years of learned behavior to undo. Doug was patient with us and with Snoopy, and the results were gratifying. He's terrific at staying touch, and following up to make sure everything is going as planned. In addition to training, he also dog-sat while we were on a cruise, and one couldn't ask for anyone better. Stephen S. read more

Excellent! He listened to our concerns and offered solutions. I already feel more hopeful!

The change in our four furbabies has been amazing! They are much calmer and the barking has gone way down and it's only been a week! I was afraid that we were going to have to rehome our male bulldog because he was aggressive and rambunctious and kept going after my daughter. We still have more work to do, but I am ecstatic with the progress. read more

Doug Parker has patience of a saint. MY dog that I adopted would not go out the doggie door. Some fear obviously as she would come back from outside in home though. Tried several routes to ultimately get her to exit out of doggie door. I tried for some time, months to encourage ways for her to go through. She had some fear as to the flap. I could not have her go through without the time and effort that Doug worked his magic. Doug came back several times to test different ways, and did some rigging ways as to the flap. My dog was a nightmare as to so many ways that should have worked as to ridding some type of fear she had. Hands on training could only have been done by coming to my home. read more

Daug is the dog wisperer, for sure. With his training methods he reversed a quite concerning aggressive behavior in our dog. We completed the training sessions and our sweet boy is relaxed and nice at all times now. Even when previous triggers are in his environment. He is obedient, too, something we couldn't achieve before Daug. We are relieved and confident, that we now know how to address any potential issue. Patience is the foundation of Daug's methodology. He is observant and impressively intuitive . He has utmost respect for nature and the dogs' well-been is paramount for him. Patience, patience, more patience and variations in the tone of the voice and its level, are Daug's main tools. After every training session, not only our dog, but we too felt calm and relaxed. Watching Daug train was as watching a magician at work. We are impressed with the results of Daug's methodology and training sessions, and they exceeded our expectations. We noticed significant positive changes after only one session. Not only Daug trained our energetic Golden doodle, but he educated us and provided us with tools we've been using with great results. He makes sure that we know we can call him with any potential questions or concerns, even after the training end. We cannot recommend Daug warmly enough. We know that many dog owners will benefit from his help. As I mentioned in a previous review, we felt lost prior to connecting with Daug. Life as dog owners is so less stressful now. Daug is the real deal. He is understanding and kind, and respects his clients. We count ourselves fortunate to have met him. read more

The DOuGTrainer - We couldn't even have them stay in the same room together. Now they're best buddy's :-) - Pet Training Near Me - HENDERSON, Nevada

Let me start by saying that if we had not found Doug"The DOuG Trainer we would not have ever had a calm relaxed dog. We have always had our dogs as puppies so we never had an issue with a high energy aggressive dog on walks, until we got our 6 year old Cockapoo rescue. We had no idea how to handle this situation. Doug told us that with a 6 year old dog it will take a few months of daily training and we were up,for the challenge. After a few training sessions we were totally amazed by the progress. We were so happy with all of Doug's knowledge of dogs and his guidance we can now have much more peaceful and even enjoyable walks. Doug has guided us to be the leader and is always only a phone call away if we need any advice from him. Our Dog knows we are the leader. read more

Doug is a fabulous dog trainer!! He is very patient and kind!! We have 2 very challenging, high energy, 9 month old puppy brothers from the same litter. Doug is teaching us how to make them into good dog citizens!! His methods are from observing nature, so you must be patient !!! read more

Doug was AMAZING!! The best trainer we could have wished for. My husband and I have two dogs - a 3 year old and a 10 month old puppy. With the 3 year old I have been to 3 different classes of 6 sessions of training and a lot of certifications (Canine Good Citizen, Therapy Dog) etc so I thought I know everything about training dogs. FALSE! When the new puppy came in the house, havoc broke! He wasn't listening to anyone, did not have any boundaries, was aggressive, attacking the other dog, biting us and our friends, pulling on the leash etc. After trying for 10 months different training methods as well as working with two different professional trainers with no results we were sure we would have to unfortunately return him. That's when we said we will try one last time and found Doug. His work is amazing!! Taught us how to regain control and leadership and honestly in two days we had a transformed, calm puppy that is not aggressive anymore. And everything was done without using shock/ pinch collars only calm, assertive energy. Would recommend him to anyone, really saved our marriage and made us enjoy both our dogs more!! read more

Doug is amazing. I highly recommend him to anyone whether they have a puppy, a rescue, an adult dog, or any type of situation. He helps you as the owner realize that your dog wants a strong leader, and in showing your dog that you are a strong leader, you can fix any issue. Doug is patient and kind, he stayed an extra TWO HOURS with us and our dog to help us as much as possible. He charges per session, not hour, so he did not have to do that at all, he did that out of kindness. If you want someone who will help you fix any behavioral issue or introduction or anything, I recommend Doug. He doesn't not use treats, or toys, only energy and body movements. He is kind to the animals and respects them. Highly highly recommend. We rescued our dog about two days ago, he was obviously jumpy and nervous, and had a bad habit of running through doors and not paying attention. After just one hour with Doug, here is a picture of him laying by the door that he refused to let anyone go through before him, and with consistency he is doing even better. Mind you, the side door was completely open and he was aware of that. read more

We rescued a puppy that barked all the time and was very aggressive outside towards strangers. We worked with Doug for several weeks and learned so much about animal behavior. Within 2 sessions with Buddy didn't bark at everyone that came over and was a much more calm and relaxed. I can't wait to see what how Buddy will transform for the better! Doug is very patient and has a lot of wisdom. He truly is a Dog whisperer! read more

Doug Parker is masterful. I have to admit that I was skeptical and thought what he wanted me to do was hokie as my dog has always been stubborn. Turns out my hubby and I were the problem and once we accepted and learned Doug's training our dogs became followers and we became leaders. They are calm and the amount of barking has gone from a 10 everyday to a 1 everyday and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Doug we really appreciate you. read more

When we adopted our one year old pup, Eevee from the Animal Foundation, it was clear we were going to need all the help we could get with her high energy, zero obedience and strong willed personality. Doug worked tirelessly, teaching us patience and techniques to ensure that Eevee knows we are the leaders in our home. Now we have a stronger relationship with our dog who is much more submissive and relaxed. I have never met a trainer who is as kind, knowledgeable, dedicated and as passionate about their work as Doug. His countless hours and patience have been invaluable to us as a family and we will be forever grateful for this experience. read more

Doug Parker is remarkable. His level of caring about his craft is difficult to articulate. As most people who are serious about this subject realize, dog training is truly about owner training. Doug's understanding of people is exceeded only by his understanding of our furry canine friends. He made me feel a level of comfort with the training set up that I was able to get my dogs to behave in ways they never have before. And he predicted everything that happened, moments before it happened. He's like a freaking magician. I should probably point out that I live in Southern California while Doug lives near Las Vegas NV in Henderson, and our training took place by way of video where he watched the dogs and told me what to do and say. It was amazing. If you want unsurpassed training and attention to detail at a level you never thought possible to give you the calm and obedient dog you deserve to have, take advantage of this man's talents before someone gives him his own YouTube series and he's not available anymore. Seriously. Do it. read more

He's the best! Love working with Doug. He's taken it to a whole better level! Dogs are calmer, more fun and predictable!

We reached out to doug during desperate times. My corgi who is a very anxious being snapped one day and unfortunately bit my face. I had a lot of mixed feelings about the incident but things have been improving under the guidance of doug. I know we have a lot of work left to do but I have noticed my corgi becoming more obedient and calm. read more

Doug is absolutely masterful with his dog training techniques. I have a very active 5 month old toy poodle. Doug has succeeded in training me in order to get Lea to be submissive and obedient. Doug is never to busy to support me either on the phone or in my home while it's a work in progress. You will never find a better dog trainer anywhere. read more

The DOuG Trainer is like nothing I've ever experienced, and I've had dogs all my life and been through several different obedience trainings. This is not a learn how to sit, stay, rollover plan. This is a new way of thinking like a leader. My newly adopted 3-year-old German Shepard/Finnish Spitz mix dog was acting very aloof and stubborn, essentially ignoring me. He also seemed very jumpy and nervous--I was concerned he might bite or become otherwise aggressive, so I contacted Doug. When Doug arrived at my house (on time and with a confirmation call ahead of time), sure enough, Tuck the dog started barking and growling. After ignoring the dog for a while in the foyer, Doug came in and we began my training. Notice I said MY training. Doug and I both worked together on the dog's submission. No harsh words, no physical touch, just peaceful submission. We worked together for four hours. Doug left me with worksheets, post-it reminders, the video of our session, as well as phone support. It has been 2 days now and Tuck is already responding to me. He is well on the way to learning commands, despite the fact that we didn't practice any: only the leadership training. Tuck is also more interested in me, and even curled up on my leg on the couch with me, whereas he'd been too independent in the past. I love this DOuG Trainer philosophy and am thrilled to see it work. I will be continuing to practice this new language with my dog, and even adopt some of the ideas into my daily human life! I highly recommend The DOuGTrainer to build your relationship any dog, problematic or not. read more

Doug definitely knows what he is doing and is really attentive and listens and shares a lot of information also keeps up with you all the time! Ive worked with a lot of dog trainers and i feel like doug is the only one that really knows whats going on, the other trainers only give you a template answer that isnt even customizable to you. doug listens and helps all the way! would def recommend him read more

I have two min pins 4 year old female who I rescued 2 years ago not really knowing her history or what she had been through and a 3 year old male who I have had since 8 weeks... The female stresses/reacts to everyone/everything basically, barks uncontrollably when she hears a sound, sees a dog or human then once she starts she gets my male going 95% of the time, it causes so much stress and anxiety for me/them. I was using another trainer that liked to use water bottles/cans of pennies to correct the dogs, lots of talking hardly any hands on training, well the water bottle and other tools are temporary and who has them on hand all the time, I noticed her training method wasn't working, so I looked for a new trainer with the help and recommendations of the community I found Doug, I'm so glad I did, my dogs are already showing immense progress, the house is a lot quieter and relaxed , the energy is more comfortable/less stress. He has such knowledge, patience, he shows you/teaches you and explains the reasoning/whys behind his training. I know learn better by seeing and doing, I have learned so much and my dogs have to , I'm excited for our future. Doug has helped both my anxiety and my dogs s ouch in just 2 sessions, he's an amazing trainer and highly recommend him, you won't regret it. read more

I was excited to find someone who was willing to take the time to share his knowledge about animals. Doug the Dog Trainer has helped us get our calm back He spent time helping us stop trying to figure out our neurotic as my husband calls her dog. She isn't neurotic or high strung We forgot patience.......we learned it was the key to handling the problems. She had a loud high pitched bark. We picked her up, we bought her calming food.....teehee. We tried to yell to get her to stop.....to no avail. I am committed to the dog and I didn't know what to do ? Glad we found Doug. She was not a rescue dog, not neurotic, not a yapper. She is our dog and deserved better than what we could do. So Doug taught us to invest the time and be patient with her. Today Doug is helping someone else find the place where they find calm with their dog. I am glad to know that magic food,calming jackets, walks in the park,holding her and yelling at her was a waste of our time. I woke this morning with a return of health problems. I was concerned about not being able to follow through with the work I committed to. However it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. She was calm and seems to enjoy it. So.... Being able and committed with the new knowledge had given me the confidence to continue. So I summarize it by saying that the commitment with the knowledge from Doug the Dog trainer will change your dog's life. read more

I hired Doug for my 1 year old resource guarding, anxious dog, Joe. I am from Chicago, so all my trainings were virtual. At first I was hesitant to do it online, however having Doug in my ear, with only my dog and I in the room, really helped our relationship grow. The first phone call I had with Doug put me at ease. He went into deep explanation of his methods and you could tell from the start he knew what he was talking about. We then spent the next full week working with my dog. After the first session Joe was visibility a more relaxed dog. His methods are very unconventional, but his passion really makes you buy in. After seeing them in action with your dog, you will quickly realize what makes them so successful. What I appreciate most about my time with Doug is how good of a person he is. I was at my breaking point and constantly felt reassured, and confident with him. His patience, resilience and knowledge of dogs is really as good as it gets. I've worked with a few trainers in the past and it was so refreshing to have someone who really cared about me and getting my dog better. He was willing to put in so much time and effort and that is something I can't thank him enough for. Highly recommend!! read more

Doug was amazing I recently rescued 2 Grest Danes who had been abused, so they have lots of baggage Doug's method is unorthodox but most effective . After 1 week they were so much more calm. After 2 most signs of their abuse were gone with the rest much less pronounced. Thank you Doug! We are all happy!! You are amazing! read more

Doug has been doing a wonderful job with my 2 rescues. Both dogs came to me with emotional and behavioral issues. I was starting to lose hope with one of them. Doug has put in a tremendous amount of time working with both dogs and is truly vested in their future. The training is like nothing I have ever experienced but both dogs are progressing well. The training is a positive and nature based approach to lead the dogs back to relaxed good behavior. His mantra of patience patience patience is truly the biggest requirement of pet owners. I am looking forward to seeing both dogs live their best life. I would recommend Doug to anyone looking to improve their dog's life and behavior. read more

Doug is amazing. I saw results within the very first visit. I can't say enough good things that have not been said before. If you have dog problems Doug truly has a gift for teaching humans to communicate with animals. Thank you Doug. Five star review! read more

Doug is great! He has taught me so much about puppies and their behavior. Our puppy rat terrier was only 2.5 months old when we hired Doug. She didn't have a lot of bad behaviors yet and he helped me learn how to make sure we didn't develop them. Doug understands dog behavior and helps you understand too!! read more

I have 2 rescue dogs and was at wit's end up with the tension just overall imbalance it brought into my human relationship. Since my husband and I had completely different ideas on how to discipline them; he is stern/intimidating and I'm the loving/nurturing one, we just could not see eye to eye and it was evident we were not getting anywhere. One of our dogs is a 1 year old puppy who, although very sweet and playful, did not obey proper boundaries (jumping up on the couch, being pushy and basically getting away with anything she wanted). The other is a 6 year old who suffers separation anxiety and overall nervousness esp. around my husband. I recognized that things were just completely imbalanced with our family and was desperate to find help and harmony. I specifically wanted someone who could teach us calm assertiveness and positive reinforcement to help us with their behavior and reestablish "pack" leadership (we did NOT want someone to use choke/pinch collars or any type of physical force). I quickly learned from our trainer, Doug, that my husband and I were NOT in control. That the dogs viewed us a THEIR followers. Needless to say, we were amazed at how much we were able to accomplish simply using body language, calm energy and basically showing the dogs that WE were their leaders and to finally submit and trust us. We witnessed the dogs physically get to the point of submission and a state of overall "calm." We've still got a long road ahead of us, but Doug gave us the tools to get our dogs to a better place.We both learned so much about paying attention to all of the subtle cues the dogs gave us in their body language, eye contact, everything. My husband and I are finally supporting each other with the dogs and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend "The DOuG Trainer" if you want to learn about yourself and if you're open to changing your own behavior too. read more

Doug's RDL model is brilliant. Unconventional, yet natural. I knew Doug was the right choice for me when my dogs responded within 10 minutes of our first session. They are 10 years old, so it is taking time for them to respond to nature, the essence of Doug's model. Even so, every week, visitors notice that they are calmer. It takes dedication to practice, but is it ever worth it! Doug's training affects many levels not directly related to training - it's fascinating! He's a delight to work with, patiently explaining a certain concept as many times as I need to hear it. Since I'm in California, we use live Google Duo video. At first, I was hesitant to train via video, but training has exceeded my wildest expectations. read more

I was skeptical at first because how can you train with no treats not tools? That's how I was taught all my life to train dogs. My girlfriend and I were at our wits end trying to get our dogs to listen to us. Treats would work for a second but then they would go back to whatever they wanted to do and it was frustrating. They kept getting worse. Until I finally started calling around. I called DOuG trainer and the moment we talked on the phone he explained his process and it got me thinking on how it might work. Right when he walked into our apartment I was worried but he really knew what he was doing and all three of my dogs by the end of the session were listening for minutes on end. All of them were laying down and were not on top of us. I am so glad I called him. Another plus side is it is affordable as well. read more

My family and I recently adopted our first rescue dog named Mary. She is about 1 year and 3 months old. As soon as we introduced her to the house, her high energy became very apparent, (constant digging, play biting, jumping and destroying the house when we left) she was also extremely timid towards other people (especially men) I really wanted to train her but I wasn't sure on how to go about it. I saw The Doug Trainer on a training website and decided to contact him. THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE. After 4 hours of being with him, my mom and I have learned so much about ourselves it was mind blowing. We became aware of what we were doing and how our body language affected Mary. Since she is an imbalanced dog, and doesn't have a balanced behavior, we have to be more patient than ever, and Doug showed us how to do that. After the session, Mary was already showing so many signs of improvement. I got her to submit to me, and for the first time, I was able to grab her ball and throw it, without her trying to nip or jump... I recommend everyone to see this man. He knows what he is doing and is a complete blessing!!! I can't wait to continue this journey and learn more about myself and Mary. Thank you so much Doug!! read more

There is not enough space to leave a review for the DOuG Trainer. This man TRULY changed my life in 2 visits (actually in 1 visit). I've used dog trainers for years when I was having a difficult problem with a dog. I can truly say that I have never met a human being like this man. Next to the phrase calm and assertive should read DOuG! I am a disabled veteran training 2 dogs (that happened by accident because I thought that Harley my 7 year old Toy Fox Terrier Emotional Support Dog was fine (until DOuG helped me realize that this little 6 pound dog thought he was the pack leader in my home). Then to top it off I have an 85 pound 9 month old German Shepard Service Dog in training who is ALL PUPPY. DOuG has taught my that whether 9 months old or 7 years old I am the pack leader in my home. His methods are like nothing I have ever seen in my 53 years. Because these dogs are vital to my health this has been the most awesome experience that I couldn't describe if I tried. There are truly no words! If you try his training one time I guarantee your life will never be the same. When he walks in to my home the energy changes instantly. And the best thing about DOuG is that he shares his vast knowledge with you. He teaches you how to be calm and assertive which in turn makes your unbalanced dog calm and submissive. He is absolutely the BEST! I guarantee that you will NEVER regret hiring this excellent trainer and super special human being. I used to watch a guy on tv that was coined the Dog Whisperer but trust me, that guy has absolutely nothing on DOuG. I can't tell you how your life will change by hiring this trainer! Additionally, DOuG makes sure we are in touch daily in order to give me additional input. It gives me the opportunity for additional input to be the pack leader that I now KNOW I am. The DOuG Trainer should be your first call if you have a problem with your dog. read more

I was a little skeptical at first and thought that my 6 year old pit bull was beyond help within the first 20 minutes Doug had my dog responding I was simply amazed the technics he used simply worked. After the two hour training session my mind was completely blown I just could not believe I had my dog responding to me and listening.

I knew that I was never the on "in charge" when The Doug Trainer" came to my residence and witnessed my dogs in action. When the dogs came out to meet The Doug Trainer, the female dog was off her leash and friendly and non-threatening. The male dog on the other hand, was on leash and did bark for more than 5 minutes finally stopping more than likely from exhaustion. The male dog was bolting from couch to couch and through the house The female dog was in her fetching mood and I accommodated her as many times as she dropped the ball at my feet to keep her happy. Both dogs jumped up as I allowed them to, not sure if they wanted me to pick them up and cuddle them but I resisted while the Doug Trainer was present. The Doug Trainer successfully got both dogs to calm and submissive states as we moved from room to room with me by his side to guide me through the training. Yes I have my work cut out for me and will need to practice patience, and consistency always. I love and cherish my dogs and understand that I must be their leader and in return they will always be calm and submissive and happier than they've ever been. We appreciate The Doug Trainer's training techniques and dedication to his Clients. read more
