Holistic Dog Training - Eugene, OR
As an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer (ABCDT) and a Certified Fearful Dogs Professional, I bring over three years of dedicated experience in transforming canine behavior with compassion and expertise. My virtual trauma-informed behavior assessments are designed to accurately identify how your dog perceives and reacts to environmental triggers, all under calm conditions. By utilizing sophisticated testing and holistic techniques, I can effectively map out a customized treatment plan for your furry friend’s swift recovery. I specialize in reward-based training, proven to help dogs learn 30% faster compared to punishment-based methods, ensuring a gentle and effective approach to behavior modification.
My qualifications include certifications as a Certified Animal Reiki Practitioner and Teacher, as well as a Certified Crystal Practitioner, which enhance my ability to offer a comprehensive healing experience for your pet. With additional credentials from the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), and Pet Professional Guild (PPG), I provide services backed by a wealth of knowledge and industry recognition. Whether your dog is under 20 lbs or over 80 lbs, I am equipped to handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments with care and understanding. If in-person sessions are required, I also offer mobile services, ensuring convenience and flexibility.

Customer Reviews
I scheduled a session with Roman around a month ago when things were really challenging with my blind, disabled, 11 year old Baladi dog. By the time we got to meet things were much improved, but i wanted to see if we could go even further in improving things with his help. He gave me a different perspective on a few things which was really useful. I found it interesting and would recommend him to anyone who has a traumatized dog. Thank you Roman!
- Emma MRoman's holistic dog training helped me understand my dog's resource guarding, and I hardly ever have any issues now. - Heath, Ohio
- Misty MRoman is amazing. I did not believe in online dog training until l had a lesson with Roman. My dog has car whining problem since he was a puppy. He fixed it in just a lesson. My dog's whining gives everybody headache and makes my anxiety worse. Today, when I drove to work and came back to the house, no more whining when I used his method. My pup and I were smiling in the car, we've never been that relaxed before. He's now looking forward to getting on the car. Roman is so gifted, I thank you God to find him. At first, I thought his prices are high but after fixing the issue just in a lesson, it's actually cheaper and faster than the other trainers / behaviorists. I'm looking forward to having him to fix his leash pulling when my pup is high energy. I'm waiting for another miracle to happen. I regret I did not know him before, and I would hire him to train him for everything.
