Underdog K9 Academy - Private Dog Trainers - Cincinnati, OH
As an IACP Certified Dog Trainer with a passion for working with all types of dogs, I have dedicated myself to helping pet parents like you navigate the rewarding journey of dog training. Whether your furry friend is a happy-go-lucky pup, a shy companion, a hyperactive bundle of energy, or even a more aggressive dog, I have the expertise to guide you through tailored training sessions. My extensive experience includes not only dog obedience and therapy training but also pet behavior modification and service dog training. I take pride in fostering a positive environment where you can learn how to understand your dog’s cues while teaching them to respond to yours.
For over three years, I have been serving pets of all sizes, from the tiniest under 20 lbs to the largest over 80 lbs, with a commitment to ensure each dog receives the attention they deserve. My services are mobile, meaning I can meet you wherever you and your dog feel most comfortable, and I also offer convenient online training sessions to cater to diverse needs. I incorporate a variety of effective training tools, including choke collars, e-collars, and positive reinforcement techniques like treats and praise, to best support your dog’s unique personality and learning style.
I am excited to help you witness the transformation of your puppy or dog into a well-behaved companion. Let’s work together to build a strong bond based on understanding and trust. Ready to get started? Book through Petworks today!
