At East Coast Field Dog, we believe one thing above all else: not all dogs are created equal—so why train them like they are?
With years of hands-on experience, I’ve worked with dogs of every temperament—bold, sensitive, dominant, high-energy, nervous, aggressive, and everything in between. Every dog is different, and effective training means meeting each one where they are—not forcing them into a one-size-fits-all method.
My philosophy is simple: slower is faster. True progress comes when you take the time to understand your dog’s behavior, body language, and individual needs. Whether you’re working with a high-drive hunting breed or a nervous rescue, I believe in patience, clarity, and making training a positive experience for both you and your dog.
Over the years, I’ve seen it all—from heavy-handed handlers to dogs that have completely shut down from the wrong approach. Those moments have shaped my commitment to ethical, effective training rooted in respect, trust, and communication.
This isn’t just about obedience. It’s about building a lasting relationship with your dog. Training takes time, consistency, and teamwork—not just between you and your dog, but between you and your trainer. That’s why I treat every client like a partner, not just a customer.
Whether you’re looking to build basic obedience, refine field skills, or just create a better bond with your dog, I’m here to guide you through it—step by step, dog by dog.
Let’s train smarter, not harder. And let’s enjoy the journey.
