A Well Behaved Dog - Private Dog Training - Birmingham, AL
As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) with over 13 years of experience, I am passionate about helping pets and their owners build strong, positive relationships through effective training. My expertise lies in positive reinforcement techniques, which I use to address various behavioral issues, including fear, anxiety, and aggression. Whether your furry friend needs basic obedience training or specialized behavior modification, I am dedicated to providing customized solutions that fit your pet's unique needs.
I proudly serve the Greater Atlanta, GA area and the Greater Birmingham, AL area, offering both in-home lessons and group classes for dogs of all breeds and sizes. My training philosophy emphasizes the importance of using safe equipment like back-clip harnesses, front-clip harnesses, and head collars, alongside praise, affection, and reward-based methods. I also understand that life can be unpredictable, which is why I offer flexible cancellation policies to accommodate any changes in your schedule. Additionally, I provide mobile services to ensure your pet receives the best training experience possible, right in the comfort of your home.
