Alder the Dog Guy - Certified Remote Canine Trainer - Minneapolis, MN
At our pet services, we expertly blend the art of dog behaviorism with the mindful practice of yoga, creating a unique approach that transforms the way you connect with your furry companions. With over a decade of experience serving pets of all shapes and sizes, our team, led by a certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator (AKC CGC), is dedicated to fostering harmony and understanding between pets and their owners. We incorporate a range of training tools, from clickers to e-collars, ensuring effective communication tailored to each dog's needs.
