ProActive Dog Training LLC

With 20+ years of professional experience, Dave is one of the few trainers in the area who is both willing and capable of helping you achieve nearly any goal you have for your dog. Whether you are looking for help with behavior correction, aggressive tendencies (i.e., biting, resource-guarding, etc.), puppy training, basic obedience, or refining and advancing your dog's skill and earn AKC-certifications (e.g., Canine Good Citizen/CGC), Dave has the knowledge, skills, and qualifications required to work with dogs at every level. His professional background and experience speak for itself, yet his success in the canine training industry is further supported in his videos with past clients, wide-range of experience, and his observable passion to help dogs and their owners be successful, happy, and confident in their daily lives. Most notably, while many trainers will refuse to accept clients with dogs who have a bite history or display aggressive tendencies, Dave confidently welcomes this challenge and has a well-documented history of success in working with clients and dogs to overcome these seemingly hopeless situations. I encourage anyone who is undecided to schedule an initial consult with him. He responds quickly to inquiries, and his flexibility gives you the ability to decide on a setting and time frame that meets your needs. In the consult, Dave works closely with you to determine your goals in a 1:1 setting where he will take time to evaluate your dog's current behaviors/training, provide honest, non-judgmental feedback, and explain, recommend, and demonstrate a variety of professional approaches to achieve your goals while setting realistic expectations for you. We are very grateful for his expertise and guidance, and I would highly recommend his services for anyone who is seeking dog training.

We have the good fortune having Dave work with our young Labrador retriever Casey for 2 weeks and are very pleased with his results. Casey is much calmer and more responsive to commends since his working with her. We had reviewed several dog trainers before picking Dave, and our deciding factor was that Casey would be his only responsibility during her stay so she would have his full undivided attention during her time with him. Upon meeting him, we were very impressed, it was easy to recognize that he had the skills to help us improve Casey in the areas that we discussed. Pictures and videos comments showed us Casey's improvement turning her time away and it was very apparent that while she was learning she was also having a great time with Dave and his family. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dave to anyone that is looking for a great dog trainer.
