Darrell Swanson, Retired USAF, Master Trainer

You learn first-hand how we work with clients and teach them how to train their unruly dogs. You will watch and learn from experienced trainers as they educate and train dogs. You are given various breeds and dogs of different ages to train, plus you will be able to bring your own dog(s) to train. 


Our Master Trainers take their time guiding you through the training of problem dogs, working closely with you as you learn to verbalize lessons. These lesson plans will then be made available to you when you graduate. Contact us to become a dog trainer today.
