Private & Family Sessions in Your Home
Training in the home has the greatest effect on your dog's in-home behavior. Whether your home is in NYC or a quiet cul-de-sac in the suburbs, Shawn will teach you and your dog in a comfortable learning environment with little distraction. He strives to incorporate all members of the family to provide more consistency for your dog. After he has achieved the desired results in your home, he'll take a field trip to a high-distraction area, allowing your dog to experience training in a diversity of environments.
Aggression Management
Aggression has many sources that must all be looked at and taken into consideration. Finding the source and addressing the issues rather than making excuses will help to manage and possibly even stop certain types of aggression. Shawn provides you with safe handling, effective training/behavioral methods, and—most importantly—the truth. He uses a step-wise program to evaluate, modify behavior, and leash train aggressive dogs with an end goal of stability under high-stress situations.
Boarding Training
Boarding training will be considered for current clients in certain situations. Shawn can also provide you with referrals for boarding training.

This is an important decision, and Shawn recommends taking the time to consult with him first to ensure you receive a dog that succeeds when they're needed the most. He has many contacts within the law enforcement and private security industries, meaning he has many sources to choose from when selecting a protection dog that works for you.
