Meet your trainer!

Hello! My name is Vincent and I’m the head trainer of Vince’s dog training. I specialize in behavioral modification for dogs with aggressive tendencies and obedience training. I found my passion with dogs growing up always having a dog at my side happily teaching them little tricks for treats and cuddles. When I was 14 I started my first job working at a family friends boarding facility where they would sometimes take in rescues from shelters to help them decompress and take stress off the shelter. One day a boxer mix came in and she was just terrified and due to short staffing no one had the time to sit with her so we all just cleaned up after her accidents and tried to bother her as little as possible to help her stress. I tried my hardest to sit with her every free chance I got and one day I walked into her room and her butt wiggled with excitement to see me. After that I began taking her out to the potty yard, walks, and extra play sessions which boosted her confidence even more. She was so excited to meet new people. The day she got adopted I cried tears of joy because of how far she had come. That was the day I knew I wanted to help animals as much as I could. In may of 2023 I completed a trainers course in Columbus to further my knowledge and officially started training for more than family and shortly after that in August I took in a behavioral rescue pictured below( Gaige)
She is what we would call a basic case. Fearful of absolutely everything borderline fear aggression heavy avoidance. I began to work with her heavily on training and within that first month of having her I watched as the light bulb went off and things started to be less scary and make more sense. I to this day still get to see her blossom and get to be the puppy she never knew how to be. I plan to continue my education into service work, protection, and tracking/trailing

Amara is absolutely one of the best girls! In today’s lesson she worked on remembering her obedience, leash manners, and how to behave calmly around strangers like the mailman. Fun fact, Amara was VGK9’s first client to ever complete full obedience training from basic obedience to off-leash. Michaela does a absolutely wonderful job with her pup, it’s okay to need refreshers and “check ins” as a trainer I’m overjoyed when my clients reach out and ask for training tips even after full course completion. I love to see them thrive in new environments and I’m always pleased to help when there is a bump in the road! I had so much fun working with Amara today!

Amara did amazing today in her refresher training lesson remembering the fine tuning of her obedience and remembering her leash manners

Your morning doesn’t have to be hetic when using a solid command such as place. Gaige,Tater, and mochi here demonstrating the tranquility of place while snoozing happily. This leaves plenty of space for me to get things done. If this is something you’re interested in teaching your dog please reach out today!!!

Luna is doing well with her training learning her leash manners and practicing her sits.
But this gives me time to talk about a topic not often discussed when bringing home a rescue of any kind. You truely never know a dogs personality until you not only give them time to decompress but build their confidence. This is why some issues may not present until 6 months or 6 days after you bring the dog home. With that being said, give them time to show who they are so you can best help them live happy and fulfilled lives.

Meet Luna! Luna is our newest student here to learn her basic obedience and possibly become a service dog prospect! We look forward to seeing her progress and blossom!!

OUT or DROP IT can be a very important command to teach especially when you have a dog like Gaige here who has a high prey drive. Dogs like her love to chase small animals or anything small that moves near them. This creates a need to be able to quickly call them off or be able to easily retrieve the animal from the dog if they were to get ahold of it. If this is something you struggle with reach out and schedule a free consultation and let’s set you and your canine up for success!!!

04/06/2024

Teaching crate manners is very important whether the kennel is left open accidentally after putting the dog to bed or you want them to be able to settle without having to lock them up. This creates security and a sense of respect between you and your canine companion.
Teaching place can also provide the same comfort, respect, and reliability whether you have a nervous dog that doesn’t do well seeing new guests in the kennel or have a multi dog house and need everyone to take a break.
If these are skills you’d like to learn more about and want to start teaching reach out today and start with a free consultation!

Do you feel like you struggle to start or continue training with your dog on a busy schedule. In this video that’s what I address with an example thanks to my puppy tater for being the star. Soon I will start offering day stay and trains so stay tuned

This sweet pup is a bull terrier and is looking for her fur-ever home. She is 1 year old born on 02/05/2023 a would be considered as a behavioral rehoming. She loves everyone with a little food but does prefer women. She has never been around kids, does very well with other dogs but cannot go to a home with any cats or small animals for their safety. She has not shown any obvious signs of any type of aggression. Her name is quarry and she is not fixed. She loves to play and cuddle as well.
As apart of helping her find her home she does not have an adoption fee, but I will provide 1 free consultation, 1 free training session, and 10% off of two sessions for her new family to help her adjust, as well as help doing meet and greets for kids, and other dogs in the home.
If you think this sweet love would be perfect for your home and you would love to add her to your family please reach out today with any questions or to schedule a meet. You can reach out to me or Lindsay Simon

Tired of the chaos of a multi-dog house hold and want to be able to settle down and rest on command? Look no further! This was a 30 minute session where only two of the dogs had been introduced to the “place command” and only one has done long duration place. It’s been almost 45 minutes since they were settled into their command and they are fast asleep resting and retaining all the knowledge they just learned!

Pupdate! Gaige has done absolutely amazing acclimating to her new life. She has gained a lot of confidence in the 4+ months I’ve had her. We have had ups and downs but watching this girls personality blossom and her puppy come out has been one of the best experiences I’ve had training any of the dogs I’ve trained. She turns 1 in two days and I’m so excited to see what our future holds.

Friendly reminder for the holidays!
Puppies are great Christmas presents when they are talked through and you make sure you have the time to train that dog properly and socialize it properly!!
With big shopping events happening remember the people with medical needs who take their service animals to stores or those who may not have to avoid the possibility their pup may get hurt.
Finally
Having a ESA does not give you public access rights! And online registration is a scam!
Your dog just can’t be a “service dog” because you feel like it they must be task trained to provide relief to a disability and well behaved in all circumstances

Gya did amazing during her first formal session working through distractions, fireworks, and anxiety. Can’t wait to see her blossom in confidence. She is actively resting in her kennel after her session. Remember it’s important to rest your pups after they work their brains. This allows them to retain the knowledge they have just learned!
