Dog Training Method

PJ, Happy and Moses

Dog Psychology Method™

We hope that you see something you would like and get ideas about what might work for you and your family.

We try to be pragmatic and practical. If a dog training method doesn't work or gets slow results, we don't recommend it because if it doesn't for professional dog trainers, it probably won't work at your house either.

Dog Psychology is our primary Training Method.

We want you to compare and know Exactly What To Expect From Us.

You don't need to spend thousands at Boot Camps for Dogs.

Professional Dog Trainers

"PJ" the Dane-German Shepherd was dog-aggressive until the day he came to live with DaveTheDogTrainer. For about six months, PJ displayed no aggression at all toward people or other dogs. A Granite Bay family then adopted PJ and let him run the house and he turned aggressive again. PJ now lives with a man on a ranch who doesn't seem to have problems with PJ and his other large-breed dogs.

To PJ and most other dogs, it is more about who you are, rather than how much training or conditioning you do.

We really liked PJ here at DogAnswers Ranch because he only barked when someone drove or walked onto the property. To the other dogs, he was almost always dead-last in terms of dominance. Even small dogs would try and mount him, but PJ could really put on a show if someone scared him or he didn't like something about them.

Sacramento's #1 Dog Aggression Experts

We can often help with dogs that veterinarians, behaviorists and other trainers give up on.

Many of the dogs you see in the pictures on our web sites have been labeled "aggressive and untrainable" by veterinarians, behaviorists and seasoned dog trainers. Don't listen to people who tell you that your dog can't be trained and you need to euthanize (kill) it.

The Off-Leash Experts^™

Don't listen to people who tell you that your breed could never be trained off-leash. Dog form packs which are highly regimented and organized hunting units. Dog packs have a leader who decides when, if, and for how long everything and he makes all the rules. The other dogs do what he says and watch his every move for cues because he directs their every move.

We always feel real safe when Kyser stays with us. If you are a visitor to where Kyser is staying, you don't want to move fast or bend down and try to pet him. His owners swore he was not protection trained, but he would hold people and not let them move. If they moved, he would act like he was going to bite them and he would too. Kyser was not very friendly to DaveTheDogTrainer until Dave spoke German to Kyser. It made Kyser real happy and loving. He then acted like he and Dave were old friends from then on.

My dog Wilson was completely out of control--not listening to me and behaving aggressively toward people and dogs. I was worried that he would hurt someone, and thought I was going to have to put him to sleep. Nothing seemed to get him under control. The veterinarian behaviorists and the other dog trainers I tried with their food training and shock collars actually made him worse. I started looking for the best dog trainer who specialized in behavior and aggression--and found Dave's web site.

After the first lesson, I started to see immediate, amazing results. I highly recommend contacting him if you have a challenging dog like mine. If I had gone to him before using other, ineffective methods, I would have saved myself a lot of frustration and money. Today, Wilson is well-behaved and under control. And I have a lot more peace of mind.
