Profile: To me, training is more than just teaching your dog basic commands like "sit" and "stay". It's about teaching dog lovers the importance in understanding dog psychology and how to build an enjoyable canine-human relationship. I do this through creating respect and trust between an owner and his or her dog. Once an owner acknowledges how important of this type of connection is, we are ready to train our dogs and enjoy our canine friends at a much higher level.

I help dog owners in the Antelope Valley hold group trainings on Saturday mornings at local parks in Lancaster, Palmdale, Rancho Vista, Rosamond, Pearblossom, and the Acton area.

If your dog barks excessively, chews on everything, is difficult to take on walks, and seems unteachable, the solution may be easier than you think. Some of these problems can be fixed within a few minutes and a certified dog trainer (like me) can often explain to you why your pet behaves that way and how you can fix the problem.

For more information and to see what others are saying about our training, please visit our website at Janesdogtraining.com.

Profile: Working with animals has always been a passion of mine. After finding a dog abandoned on the streets who was riddled with so much trauma translating itself into aggression through fear, I became even more motivated to learn more about how a dog thinks and reacts in certain situations.

I wanted to understand how the psychology behind the action works to better help and work with these wonderful creatures as well as help the relationship between human and dog for other people as well.

After taking the year long course through Animal Behavior College, I can successfully say I understand canine behavior more and how to help them fit into a human world in ways the dog will understand.

I look forward to helping others resolve issues and develop a stronger bond with their canine companions.

Profile: Expert dog trainer, Anthony Silva has loved animals, especially dogs, since childhood.
His love for animals and passion for rescuing and training led him to become a professional dog trainer.

It was 15 years ago that he discovered this passion when he rescued two Smooth Fox Terriers that came with a myriad of behavioral issues he had to fix.

Over years of training experience, seminars, and certification through Animal Behavior College, Anthony has honed his skills and developed user-friendly dog training principles, C.O.R.E. (Consistency, Once, Rewards, Exercise). These principles take the second guessing and confusion out of dog training and help people become the trustworthy, benevolent leader their dog needs.

An avid animal advocate, Anthony donates his training expertise to rehabilitate dogs in Los Angeles for Karma Rescue and Bark and Bitches so they can find forever homes.

He is also a mentor trainer for Animal Behavior College's Externship Program.

Profile: I am a dog trainer and walker based in South Orange County California. I graduated ABC's Dog Trainer Program with honors in 2012. I started my own business to help people and their dogs lead happier more balanced lives together.

Growing up in Southern California my family always had pets: cats, dogs, rabbits, snakes. I love all animals. I was bitten by a dog as an eight year old and went through a period of time where I learned to be afraid of dogs. I eventually grew past it and it has given me a particularly sympathetic perspective and tempered my enthusiasm with wisdom.

By the time I was a teenager my family rescued two dogs CJ and Dane. I always considered them mine and eventually when I moved out on my own they moved with me. They were both Great Dane mixes and over 100 lbs each. They taught me a lot and gave me a lot of happiness for many years.

Now I am married and my husband and I rescued a Lab/Border Collie mix from a local shelter. She is still young but learning to be a great dog and teaching me to be a better trainer.

Profile: Arrow Dog & Puppy Training

I'm Lori Barnabe, founder of Arrow Dog and Puppy Training. I started Arrow for dogs and puppies of all backgrounds, but I have a particular interest in special needs shelter dogs.

During my years as a County Animal Control Officer and later a Registered Veterinary Technician for a Municipal Animal Shelter, I saw first hand what led former guardians to turn their dogs over to public agencies. I also learned what kind of treatment could turn a dog’s behavior around and get them a second chance at becoming the lovable companions dogs want to be. My goal is to ensure that each dog who attends class at Arrow becomes a cherished and permanent member of their family, and a source of pride for its guardians.

With that goal in mind, before the actual training sessions begin, I develop an individual program for each student; a program that recognizes and considers a dog’s whole environment; physical, emotional, and spiritual. I like to think of this as a “Whole-istic” approach.

To learn more about this approach to good dog behavior, please contact me for a free in-home consultation.

Profile: Mary works with owners on how to build a more positive bond with their dog, which in turn leads to a better behaved companion.

By building engagement between the dog and the owner, Mary lays a foundation that allows other learning to take place. This thoughtful approach will do wonders in helping the dog focus on you and make learning the basic commands of sit, stay, leave-it, down,come and loose leash walking a joy for both the owner and the dog.

The end result is that a positive learning relationship exists. This is the key link in establishing continued learning between you and your companion.

The system Mary uses is primarily reward based training.There is an emphasis on marking the behaviors that you like while re-enforcing the positive relationship that you have with your companion.

Mary's training includes motivational techniques based on the primary drive of each dog using food, play, toys, and praise with the thoughtful appropriate application of aversion.

To get started in building that best friend relationship contact Mary Hirt.

Profile: Profile: Certified by Animal Behavior College, Taj Panganiban at Nor Cal Dog Academy covers the entire city of San Francisco and daily focusing on reliable obedience, exercise, socialization and attention - all the things that dogs love and make them enjoyable.

Unfortunately when a dog is not mentally/physically exercised or socialized they don’t act in a manner that is appropriate around humans. Nor Cal Dog Academy makes personal and professional effort to improve life quality for humans through their pets by offering stimulation for the dog, and direction for the human.

Learning obedience can be served through group class or private training for specialized need and/or attention. Above all, puppy class is by far the best class as it sets you off in the right direction – an ounce of prevention is definitely worth a pound of cure.

Nor Cal Dog Academy uses positive reinforcement to increase good behavior and control dog behaviors such as barking, chewing and jumping around humans. Positive reinforcement is rewarding the dog with something he likes after he does something you like. It is not always with treats but encompasses all rewards such as walks, attention and acting like a dog - jumping, pulling and barking.

Our group walks are an excellent complement to the training your dog may already have or is receiving - or just a productive way to release energy while you're away as the old proven adage says “A tired dog is a GOOD dog”. You'll be glad to know that our groups are always transported and monitored in a safe, fun way without allowing any bad habits to occur or be reinforced.

Feel free to browse through the site for training tips, recommendations and sign up for training and/or exercise so you can get started on improving the quality of you and your pet’s life!

Profile: Andee Rivera, also known as Grandma Dee is a certified ABC Dog Trainer, specializing in puppy training.

The best time to start training your puppy is between 8 weeks and 4 months of age. They are little sponges at this time and learn quickly what is expected of them. If they are left to their own means, they will often become impossible to live with; what was cute when they were a pup is no longer cute when they are an adult.

A large percentage of these dogs wind up in a shelter, or worse. Be a good puppy parent.

Happy Dog Training

I'm an ABC certified Dog Trainer, who loves teaching people "dog language", so they can communicate better with their 4 legged family member. I believe dogs are wonderful creatures that we can learn so much from. One of their qualities "Unconditional Love".

I also belong to IACP (International Association of Canine Professionals)

Other services: Dog Walking, Sitting, Boarding, Baths and more....
