The Magnetic Approach

There are two ends of the leash. I focus on both of them. A dog that only listens when there's a treat in your hand, or only listens for the trainer, isn't trained yet. So I coach you to lead, in plain language and without judgment, until you can get the same results I can when I'm not standing there.

We start with a plan built around your dog, your goals, and your actual life. From the first session, you'll have real tools you can use where the behavior actually happens: on the sidewalk, in the elevator, at the park, not just in a quiet living room.

Leash reactivity, pulling, fear, resource guarding, aggression, a brand-new puppy, a newly adopted rescue, or just wanting to enjoy your dog again. Wherever you're starting, I'll meet you there and leave you more confident than I found you.

Joey and Sundance

MEET LOUIS

MEET LOUIS

Blank piece of torn paper with textured surface and rough edges presented on a transparent background.

I got into dog training because I loved two things: helping people and figuring dogs out.

I've been training professionally for more than 15 years, and what I've learned is that the dog is only half the equation. The person on the other end of the leash matters just as much.

I treat my clients like capable adults.

My job isn't to judge you, talk down to you, or make you dependent on me. It's to understand what you're dealing with, give you clear direction, and help you become more confident handling your dog yourself.

I also work closely with local rescues including Rescue City and Badass Animal Rescue. I have enormous respect for the fosters who take dogs into their homes and do the hard work of giving them another chance. Being able to support them is one of my favorite parts of the job.

I'm a graduate of Starmark Academy, but credentials are only part of it. I genuinely love figuring dogs out, helping people understand them, and giving both ends of the leash the confidence to move forward!

  • “We booked a free consultation after a local pet shop recommended Louis, and immediately knew he was the real deal. Our dog’s severe anxiety made walks impossible, but within a couple months Louis gave him the confidence to enjoy the outdoors again. He’s flexible, never pushy, and our dog loves training with him.”

    Dominique & Bruce

  • “Louis is absolutely fantastic. He took the time to diagnose our dog’s habits (and ours), patiently guided us with clear techniques, and followed up after every session with detailed recaps and support. In just 4 sessions, our dog transformed—and we would’ve gladly paid for double.”

    Giuliana & Nebbie

  • "In addition to being a true master at his craft, Louis is also amazing at being understanding to new dog owners like myself... He is our family's hero and such an incredible leader."

    Joey & Sundance

  • “Working with Louis has been an incredible experience. My 5-year-old Frenchie had impulse control issues, but with tricks, games, and structured patience-building, we’ve seen huge progress. Even my senior dog is engaged and having fun—training has become a rewarding experience for all of us.”

    Donna & Henry

  • “When we rescued our 10-month-old pup, he was full of energy—pulling on walks, biting the leash, and being destructive. Louis gave us the tools and confidence to manage him, and now he’s settled down and thriving. Louis truly cares and goes above and beyond for his clients.”

    Natalie & Ryder

  • “We just had our first session with Louis and are so happy we found him. His training approach and attention to detail are outstanding. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about dogs—we’re excited to keep working with him!”

    Shuhan & Ricki
