Let me introduce myself
My name is Spencer. I work with dogs ranging from basic manners to off-leash reliability and behavior rehabilitation.
I was drawn to dog training through firsthand experience with reactivity, and working through that process fundamentally changed how I understand dogs, behavior, and long-term success.
Today, my focus is helping owners build clear communication, realistic expectations, and dependable behavior that holds up outside of controlled environments.
I am currently completing the Training Without Conflict (TWC) course taught by Ivan Balabanov, a two-time World Champion and fifteen-time National Champion in IGP.
Clear Training, Real Enjoyment
Training should be engaging for both the dog and the owner — but enjoyment comes from clarity, not chaos.
Dogs thrive when expectations are clear, communication is consistent, and rewards are meaningful. When those pieces are in place, confidence grows and everyday issues tend to resolve naturally.
My approach balances clarity and reinforcement to create dogs that are calm, capable, and enjoyable to live with — not just compliant in training sessions.
