You're not the only one struggling with your dog.

Many years ago before becoming a professional dog trainer, it was a dog who was really misbehaved that sent me down the path to become a trainer. So I KNOW the frustration and embarrassment levels that come from having a dog who isn't minding you. Therefore, I understand! Living in uncertainty wondering when the next time your dog is going to run out the door, lunge at the next distraction while on a walk, or worse, the potential liability of hurting someone or something like your wooden furniture. And I get it—you want to have friends and family over without putting your dog in the back room. You want to go for relaxing walks without your dog embarrassing you by pulling or reacting to other dogs. You want to go for an off-leash hike without worrying about your dog running off, or just take a nice stroll in your neighborhood without any pulling. You love your dog but not the challenges that come with it. You know there has to be a way for your dog to fit into your lifestyle, instead of changing your whole life for your dog. It doesn’t have to be that way! You can have a dog that fits into your life, even if you’ve “TRIED EVERYTHING”.

A Dog Training Program Created For You!

Transform Your Dog is our signature training program that addresses the concerns you have SO THAT your dog can be included MORE into your life….the whole REASON many of you got a dog in the first place!

In this program we’ve left no stone unturned.

I’m talking jumping, pulling, lunging, chewing, barking, digging, counter-surfing, nipping, over-excitement, checked out, not coming when called, no respect for boundary, leash aggression, over-protective, bad door manners, door dashing, reactivity to distraction, and overall just not listening…

By us becoming your leader and coach SO THAT you can become your dog’s leader and coach, TOGETHER we can help your dog overcome uncertainty that displays as insecurity, fear, and anxiety.


We actually get to the root of problem behaviors!

There are two formats to the Transform Your Dog  in 49 Days challenge

This is where your dog comes with us and lives with me and my family in the comfort of our home. We practice situations and scenarios that are common for most people.

These are one-on-one programs where you put in the work. There’s in-person coaching from us as well as a home-study course where we take you by the hand and walk through it step by step.

I’d give CJ a 10 star if I could! Nothing makes me happier than being able to take my dogs everywhere with me and have them be civilized! Needless to say, CJ is wonderful and really wants nothing but the best for his clients and their dogs. He will most certainly train any dog I ever have!

Before CJs program Harper was decently trained and behaved but after going through the process we really do have the perfect family pet.We can take her anywhere without worry because we know exactly how she is going to behave.

CJ showed me how to overcome struggles with my dog. He is very patient and calm. He was willing to share what works in a very clear and transparent way. My last trainer wasn't able to explain so clearly. Thank you CJ!!
