My Goals

Training is centered around leadership, and communication.

Developing a clear channel of communication and establishing loving leadership are the keys to help dogs live successfully in our world. Without these attributes dogs are prone to excesses of excitement, stress, anxiety, fear and confusion. These experiences lead to the release of biochemicals like cortisol, adrenaline, and norepinephrine and typically manifest in undesired behaviors like chewing, jumping, pulling, growling, barking, mouthing, biting, ….

Through communication and loving leadership we can help our dogs overcome these challenges and lead enriched lives as our companions. These experiences result in the release of “feel good” hormones like oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine resulting in calm and relaxed behaviors. Obedience is the conduit for establishing the communication and leadership that help our dogs live in this more blissful state and enrich our relationships with them.

How I got here

It took me a while to find this passion.

Dogs have always played an important part of my life.   I grew up with dogs and as an adult have had 8 canine companions over the past 25 years.  With them I’ve participated in  numerous levels and styles of dog training including basic, intermediate and advanced obedience training classes, as well as Canine Good Citizen preparation and canine agility.

Ashley & Chips

I honestly didn't know what to expect from our 11 month old Great Dane, Chips, after the first board and train. I can say we noticed a difference in our every day life immediately! Our home is much more peaceful, and our toddler is finally feeling comfortable enough with Chips to pet him now. Can't give Ed enough thanks!

Joe & Bodi

I started working with Ed in 2018 while my puppy was a few months old. Working with Ed was fantastic. He's extremely passionate about his work and takes the time to help with any training needs. Ed's focus consists of not only training the dog but training the dog owner on how to handle the dog. Ed takes the time to make sure you understand the training techniques so you can duplicate them at home when the trainer is not next to you. I'd highly recommend Ed!

Kelly & Tanner

Ed is INCREDIBLE. He worked magic on my skittish shelter dog who had never been on a leash. By the time he was done, Tanner was a new dog. Ed was also the perfect combination of firm, patient, and kind. He respects dogs, and they respect him. I cannot recommend him enough.
