The Successful Dog offers various services to dog owners such as behavior evaluations, anxiety and aggression rehabilitation, and even breeder or rescue adoption consulting. I also offer my services to other dog businesses who are just getting started and need all of the elements of their business - especially the communications with clients, all set up and ready to go, or those that need to reform or improve this processes. And I even go back into daycare facilities and do hands-on staff training. If you’re looking for a dog trainer in Massachusetts (or virtually!) - with over a decade and a half of hands-on experience plus certification - you’ve come to the right place!
Are you concerned about your dog's behavior? Has it exhibited signs of aggression like growling repeatedly, barking in an offensive way, snarling, lunging, nipping, or biting? It is essential to have your dog evaluated by an experienced trainer who has worked hands-on rehabilitating these types of dogs for years. I always bring one of my dogs along and write up a thorough report.
After conduct a behavioral assessment of your pet, there may be a possibility to work on the issues during home lessons. This will depend on how much environmental triggers come into play. We will work on step-by-step solutions that can involve your whole family.

I am currently taking on very few cases of rehabilitation.
If you long for the freedom to take your dogs on off-leash walks or hikes, or just have greater control over it in the home or backyard, I can help you learn to utilize the right tools to make this possible.

It is important for dogs to interact with other dogs and with the community. I’ll help you set-up socialization sessions, whether its introducing your dog to others, helping it adjust to walks in your community, teaching you how to navigate a local hardware store or training your dog to relax at a local coffee shop.
The most difficult training challenge is when a dog's natural temperament is just a poor match for its family. Let me help you select the perfect dog for you based on my experience as an Adoptions Counselor at a large shelter, work with many rescue organizations, and numerous contacts with reputable breeders and hands-on experience assisting in puppy raising.
