Hey, I’m Darryl — and I’m here to help you build the strong, trusting relationship you’ve always wanted with your dog. 🐾
If you’re looking to confidently take your dog anywhere—knowing how they’ll respond in any situation—you’re in the right place. Whether you’re struggling with common behavior issues like pulling on the leash, running out the door, or just feeling like you and your dog aren’t on the same page, I can help you get there.
I’m passionate about helping dog owners like you understand your dog and develop a deeper bond that’s based on trust, respect, and clear communication. After all, dogs are more than just pets—they’re family. And every dog deserves to feel confident, happy, and well-behaved in any environment.
My Journey: From Passion to Profession
I didn’t always know I’d end up here. But I’ve always had a deep connection with dogs—working with them, training them, and understanding them on a level that goes beyond the basics. Over the years, I’ve poured countless hours into studying dog behavior, mastering training techniques, and learning what works best for different breeds and personalities.
Here’s a quick snapshot of my experience:
- French Ring Decoy Camp & PSA Decoy Training
- IGP (formerly IPO/Schutzhund): Obedience & Protection Skills
- Iron Dog Canada Obedience Level 1 & Temperament Test Certified
- National Kennel Club Junior Champion, Champion, and Grand Champion 🏆
- Over 6 years spent training and competing with my own dogs, developing a hands-on approach to understanding different breeds and their unique needs.
Through years of training, competing, and helping other dog owners, I’ve learned that the key to success lies in understanding why a dog behaves the way they do and using that knowledge to foster a deep connection.

Every dog is unique, and every owner has their own goals. That’s why I take a personalized approach to dog training—whether you're looking to solve specific behavioral problems or simply want to build a stronger bond with your dog. The techniques we use have worked with hundreds of dogs, helping owners tackle challenges like:
I believe in creating lasting change, not just quick fixes. With the right techniques, patience, and consistency, I can help you transform your dog’s behavior and create a lasting relationship built on mutual trust.
I’m more than just a dog trainer. I’m an adventurer, a thrill-seeker, and someone who believes that life is all about pushing limits and constantly improving. Whether it's scaling a mountain, diving into a new passion project, or simply tackling a difficult training session, I thrive on the challenge. The harder I work, the more energy I get—and that’s exactly how I approach both my life and my work with dogs.
Outside of training, I’m also a great cook (because let’s face it, training takes a lot of energy, and so does fueling a busy, active lifestyle!). There’s something about preparing a good meal that grounds me, just like spending quality time with dogs does. For me, everything I do is about being in the moment, giving it my all, and always striving for the best.
But life hasn’t always been smooth sailing. I’ve faced some tough personal challenges—like going through a divorce, being separated from my kids, and building a business from scratch. There were plenty of moments where I could’ve thrown in the towel, but every setback taught me something valuable. Through it all, dogs have been my constant. They’ve shown me patience when I needed it most, resilience when I felt like giving up, and the ability to stay calm and steady through the chaos.
Dogs are my rock. They’ve taught me that, no matter what obstacles come our way, we can always move forward with the right mindset and approach. And that’s the mentality I bring to my dog training: no matter the challenge, I’m here to help you and your dog overcome it with trust, understanding, and a steady hand.
I believe in constantly learning and growing, whether it’s developing new training techniques, gaining insights from other people, or developing personally. I’m always working to be better, and I want to help you and your dog do the same.
When you choose to work with me, you’re not just hiring a dog trainer—you’re gaining a dedicated partner who’s genuinely invested in your success. I’m not here to simply train your dog; I’m here to teach you how to communicate with your dog in a way that builds a strong, lasting bond. My goal is to give you the confidence to take your dog anywhere, knowing they’ll respond calmly and appropriately in any situation.
I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and behaviors, and I thrive on the challenge of helping each dog and owner find their unique path to success. Whether you're dealing with a stubborn pup or a shy dog, I’m always ready to take on something new. I believe every dog has the potential to thrive, and every owner has the ability to create a positive, respectful relationship with their dog.
If you’re ready to build a harmonious relationship with your dog—one built on trust, understanding, and clear boundaries—I’m here to help guide you every step of the way. Together, we’ll work to ensure you and your dog are not only ready for anything that comes your way but that you enjoy the journey along the way.
