DOGMAN is a family-owned, local dog training company specializing in rescue and special-needs dogs. We believe in using positive, gentle techniques tailored to your dog’s unique needs while considering the entire family’s dynamic. Every dog’s behavioral modification plan is customized, ensuring long-lasting, effective results.
Training isn’t just about the dog—it’s about guiding both the dog and its owner. We find that 60% of the process involves modifying human behavior, and 40% focuses on the dog. Your dog is a reflection of its environment and its relationship with you. As a Behavior Consultant, DOGMAN uncovers the psychology behind your dog’s actions and why they may be making poor choices.
