I have known Ingo and his dog training for a number of years. Ingo is an excellent trainer with patience, sensitivity and an inviting soft voice that the dogs and their energy are attracted to. He is an exceptional trainer. I highly recommend Ingo and a good way to start is with his 90 minute consultation, assessment and training! No regrets.

About Exceptional Canines In-Home Dog Training
Hi, I’m Ingo, owner of Exceptional Canines In-Home Dog Training. I help puppies, adopted dogs, and dogs with behavior issues like leash reactivity, anxiety, and impulse control. My training is customized to your dog , because your dog is unique, and because cookie-cutter training usually falls apart the second the doorbell rings. With 30+ years of experience as a professional trainer, AKC CGC Evaluator, and certified dog behavior advisor, I bring calm structure, practical tools, and real-world solutions that actually hold up at home. Better behavior. Less chaos. More peace. Fewer “why is he doing that?” moments.

Ingo was very patient for our Ana. Didn’t take long on our first class for Ana to do simple command with Ingo’s help. He has a power presentation that had a lot of useful information and had his own personal videos of his dogs on exactly what he was just describing on the presentation. Made us feel really comfortable and can’t wait to see how our Ana grows three this process. Great job Ingo!!!!

Ingo was very instrumental in teaching my wife and I how to train Grizz, our Bernese Mountain Dog. He taught us obedience basics and helped us with individual techniques with Grizz. He was always very accessible by phone if we needed questions answered and was always dependable keeping appointments. I highly recommend Ingo…sometimes, you just don’t know what questions to ask…Ingo will have both the questions and the answers to help your dog become obedient and a blessing to you and others.

Ingo was really a great help! Hugo was 3 months old and had a terrible habit of biting. Not a single day went by without me or my wife bleeding from the sharp puppy teeth as he just wouldn't stop. After one session with Ingo, the biting stopped! We had Ingo return for a 2nd session to help us with walking him without him pulling on his leash. Again, after that one session Hugo is a pleasure to walk with. We would highly recommend Ingo to anyone interested in learning how to properly train their puppy.

We did the puppy fast start program! This program has made us feel like confident dog parents and helped our pup become obedient and well trained! Ingo is so helpful and really goes into depth during each session to make sure you understand how to work with your puppy. What I liked most about this program is that it is at you and your puppies pace and at any point in time we need Ingos help he is always quick to respond and still is! Our French bulldog puppy, Millie, is now potty trained, crate trained, can sit, stay, and leave it, on command and is very well mannered all around. The fast track puppy start program is a great way to set up a successful future for your puppy! Also, another great thing about this program is that your dog gets to learn in your own home which I think is very helpful for puppies to learn boundaries and manners in their own space. I think this program is great for every puppy family!
