DOuGTrainer

Apr 2025

Let me begin by stating that we have had an outstanding experience working with Doug. But to appreciate what he has done, you need to first understand what he was faced with. Ten months ago, our senior dog was joined by two incredibly rambunctious puppies, all three are Old English Sheepdogs. Very quickly, our visions of puppy playtime and cuddles were dashed when our sweet little babies turned into the cutest Tasmanian devils you have ever seen. Non-stop energy, they mobbed us whenever and wherever we walked around our home and while they were never mean or aggressive, puppies pulling on clothes and jumping on us, got exhausting. We quit entertaining in our home because we were concerned about how the puppies would act around guests. This was a concern that only grew as our little puppies also grew into very large puppies. Desperate, we started our search for a dog trainer but were frustrated that so many trainers in Las Vegas train by taking your pups out of the home, which is not something we were comfortable with. Then we happened upon the DOuGTrainer website. Doug presents a different approach. We read his blogs and watched his videos. I didn't understand his method, but every one of his reviews said it worked. I called Doug - and that was the day that everything changed. Two days later, Doug walked into our home and without saying a word or touching our dogs, he had them calmly laying on the floor, muzzle down watching him within about 8 minutes. They didn't mob him, they didn't grab his clothes, and he did it all within the first 3 steps inside the door. It was amazing to watch. Over the next several hours, Doug trained us, not the dogs. He taught us how to listen with our eyes and talk with our actions. He was our interpreter, explaining what our pups were trying to tell us and what they needed from us. As Doug worked with us, the pups responded, they relaxed, they were completely content. That was 3 weeks ago and thanks to Doug's patient, knowledgeable, and professional training, we've seen a huge transformation--with immediate results. As I have mentioned, what really sets Doug apart is that his training isn't just about the dogs--it's also about teaching us as owners how to effectively communicate with them. He helped us understand how to "speak" to our dogs in a way they truly understand, which made all the difference. His methods are kind, effective, and grounded in real experience. We now have calmer, more responsive dogs--and a much more peaceful home! If you're looking for a trainer who truly understands dogs and teaches you how to be a better owner, we can't recommend DOuGTrainer enough. I truly believe he can help no matter what the circumstances. If you are experiencing challenges with your furbaby, I encourage you to give him a call, you won't be sorry.
