Hello, I'm Joseph Peoples, an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer (ABCDT) and a lifelong dog enthusiast. Having been a devoted dog owner myself, I deeply understand the unique bond between humans and their canine companions. With my certification and extensive training in dog psychology and behavior, I specialize in using positive reinforcement techniques, such as clickers, treats, and praise, to effectively train dogs of all ages and temperaments. Whether you're welcoming a new puppy into your home or addressing aggressive behaviors in older dogs, I am committed to making the training process both effective and enjoyable for you and your furry friend.
For over a decade, I have dedicated myself to improving the lives of dogs and their families by preventing the heartbreak of shelter surrenders.

I am well-versed in various training tools like head collars, leashes, muzzles, and slip leads, ensuring that I can tailor my services to meet the unique needs of your pet.
