The confidence to do anything with your dog.
Creating Magnetic Bonds
The Magnetic Approach
There are two ends of the leash. I train 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.
“Louis is absolutely FANTASTIC! In just two sessions, we went from overwhelmed to confident handling our young pitbull’s reactivity. He’s not only a master trainer, but also an incredible coach for dog owners.”
