Guiding Confidence. Building Trust.
Positive-reinforcement obedience for dogs, because a trained dog gets to experience more of life
Meet Your Trainer
I'm Jesse, and I've started Pathfinder Dog Training after years of training my own various dogs. I currently have two Brazilian Mastiffs (photo is of them and myself on the day we rescued the younger at 6 months old). Working with large, strong-willed breeds taught me that every dog learns differently, and that good training starts with understanding the dog in front of you.
Think of me as a guide. We figure out where you want to go, then map the steps to get there. I use positive reinforcement, which means rewarding the behavior you want, instead of punishing the behavior you don't. It is humane, it builds trust, and it works for dogs and puppies of any size.
I am an APDT Learning Partner and have completed Pet CPR and First Aid training. My obedience training accreditation through Animal Behavior College is almost completed. I travel to you, watch how your dog lives day to day, and build a plan around your dog and your household.
I believe every dog should have the opportunity to experience the world with confidence, together with their human.
