Meet Darrell Swanson: a devoted dad, husband, a proud grandpa, a retired Air Force veteran, and a true dog lover at heart. Back in 2015, Darrell and his wife decided to turn their shared passion for pups into something bigger, and that's how OTC came to life in Woodstock Gs. They've been the dynamic duo behind it, working tirelessly with dogs with severe behavioral issues and some that just needed a little direction, making sure every tail gets a chance to wag happily again.
Darrell's life has always been a bit like a dog park - full of friendly faces, endless energy, and the kind of loyalty you can only find in a four-legged friend.
But Darrell's not just about dogs and dog training; he's got a big heart for people too. He believes in giving back, in sharing the lessons he's learned, and in helping the next generation find their path - just like he helps his dogs find theirs.
At home, it's a full house with nine dogs, making life a beautiful, joyful chaos. Darrell's world is a blend of barks, laughter, and the kind of warmth that only a family, furry or not, can bring. Together with his wife, they've created not just a home, but a haven for thousands of dogs over the years - each one a part of the extended family.

Are You Feeling Overwhelmed by Your Dog’s Behavior?
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re at your wit’s end dealing with your furry friend’s antics. Maybe it’s the constant jumping up on guests, spoiling your carpets, or chewing on everything in sight. It might be the incessant barking at what seems like thin air, or those dreaded walks that feel more like a test of strength as you’re pulled down the street. We’ve all been there, feeling a mix of frustration, embarrassment, and even a touch of despair, wondering if things will ever change.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE!
I understand because I’ve been there too. Witnessing a beloved pet display challenging behaviors can feel isolating, but it’s a far more common issue than you might think. Every day, countless dog owners struggle silently, questioning their approaches or commitment and feeling like they’ve failed their loyal companions.
THERE'S HOPE!
The good news? It doesn’t have to be this way. Imagine opening your door to guests without the fear of your dog jumping up. Picture a peaceful walk through the park, or your neighborhood enjoying the scenery instead of wrestling with the leash. Visualize a quiet evening at home without the constant soundtrack of barking. It’s not just a dream—it can and will be your reality with OTCK9.

You’ve taken the first step by seeking help, and that’s something to be proud of. Now, let’s take the next step together. Reach out today, and let’s transform frustration into freedom, chaos into calm, and challenges into cherished moments with your beloved dog.
