About

Hi everyone.  I’m a dog trainer based in Portland, Maine who specializes in Natural Dog Training, which means that I believe our dogs are at their happiest when we satisfy their deepest innate desire:  to make prey.  Natural Dog Training uses a dogs emotional awareness of the world and their prey drive to elicit obedience behaviors and solve problems like dog aggression, anxiety, fearfulness, and hyperactivity. 

I offer private lessons, and I am also available for group workshops.

With this website it’s my goal to provide you with the most useful, clear information about Natural Dog Training that you’ll find on the web.  

Read all about my journey to becoming a dog trainer, and then dive into the articles.  I’d be happy to answer any questions you might have - feel free to e-mail me at:
