While we do provide skills and manners training such as loose leash walking, polite greetings, and recall, we specialize in working with more challenging issues like anxious, fearful, and reactive dogs. We routinely offer training plans that include regular manners training for dogs that struggle with aggression, leash reactivity, resource guarding, and phobias. We accept all dogs, of all ages and size. We do not discriminate and welcome pit bulls and pit bull type dogs, as well as large breed dogs.
Whether you have a dog who needs better leash manners or is struggling with fear-based issues, we can help! If you're ready to begin a new journey, we are here to help you on that path.
We train the most important dog in the world, yours!

ABOUT THE TRAINER (for additional information click on link)
Lee Desmarais is a graduate of the Karen Pryor Professional Dog Trainer Program and a Certified Level-1 Applied Behavior Analysis Accredited Practitioner (ABAP-1), as well as, a member of the Pet Professional Guild and the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. Lee is also certified through the AKC as a Canine Good Citizen instructor and evaluator, as well as in emergency animal sheltering through the Medical Reserve Corps and a volunteer with the ASPCA Field Investigations & Response Team. Lee is a positive based, fear-free trainer whose primary style of teaching is based in scientifically proven training approaches, according to the ethical guidelines and humane practices as defined by:
The Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers, The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior, The American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants and Linda Michaels Hierarchy of Dog Needs.
Position Statement on Dominance
Lee believes that pet owners should have transparency when choosing a trainer, and often their websites, literature and come-ons deliberately hide their use of shock, prong and choke collars, by describing their training style as 'Balanced'. It doesn’t occur to pet owners that this harmonious word ‘balanced’ includes the use of force and pain. In an effort to end the use of frightening and painful electric shocks to train and manage animals, Lee has signed the pledge and joined the "NO Shock Coalition"
Position Statement on Punishment
Additionally, Lee is a proud participant in Project tRade, the Pet Professional Guild's (PPG) international advocacy program that promotes the use of force-free pet training equipment by asking pet guardians to swap choke, prong and shock collars (and any other devices that are designed to change behavior through pain or fear), in exchange for discounted training services.
