Dentler's Dog Training, LLC Our philosophy is simple: Unlike some dog trainers, we don't use choke collars, prong collars or shock collars, period. Why not?

Established in 2013 and recommended by veterinarians and veterinary behaviorists, Dentler's Dog Training provides humane, modern dog training and behavior modification using fear free, force free, pain free, positive reinforcement-based methods. Anyone can put on a choke, prong, or shock collar and punish a dog into a state of learned helplessness, but it takes a thorough understanding of canine b

ehavior to change the way a dog thinks, feels and behaves. Humane, modern dog training is based on science, and our positive reinforcement-based training approach ensures your dog receives the most innovative and expert training possible, while our compassion and dedication keeps our focus on the needs of you and your dog. We are committed to focusing our attention on educating the owners of the dogs. Once class is over it is up to you to continue your dog's learning, so it is our job to show you how, in a way that is easy to understand and won't take much time. Because if it’s not easy then you can’t do it, and if it’s not quick you won’t do it! Our motto: Training one end of the leash, educating the other. According to the ASPCA (2023), approximately 6.3 million companion animals enter shelters every year. Of those, about 3.1 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats. About 920,000 shelter animals are euthanized yearly, a decrease from the estimated 2.6 million cats and dogs euthanized in shelters in 2011. The Center for Canine Behavior Studies reports that behavior problems are the number one killer of dogs under the age of 3 (more than all diseases combined), while the National Council on Pet Population finds that most dogs are turned in to shelters for common behavior and training issues that could easily be solved with the assistance of a professional. In fact, research has found that training and socializing dogs when they're young can reduce or even eliminate behavior problems in the future. Our Teach & Train mission: To teach owners how to properly and humanely train their dogs so fewer dogs are relinquished to shelters.

Our Story

Our philosophy is simple: We don't use choke collars, prong collars or shock collars, period. Why not? Anyone can put on a prong collar and bully a dog, or shock a dog into a state of learned helplessness, but it takes a thorough understanding of canine behavior to change the way a dog learns, feels and reacts. Humane, modern dog training is based on science, and our fear-free, pain-free, positive reinforcement-based training approach ensures your dog receives the most innovative and expert training possible, while our compassion and dedication keeps our focus on the needs of you and your dog. When I decided to make the commitment to pursue a formal education in dog training I also committed to focusing my attention on educating the owners of the dogs. Once class is over it is up to you to continue your dog's learning, so it is my job to show you how, in a way that is easy to understand and won't take much time. Because if it’s not easy then you can’t do it, and if it’s not quick you won’t do it! My motto: Training one end of the leash, educating the other. According to the Center for Canine Behavior Studies (CCBS), approximately 9 million dogs are born each year, and 4 million are abandoned or relinquished to rescues and shelters. Of those shelter dogs, an estimated 2.2 million are euthanized annually. The CCBS reports that behavior problems is the number 1 killer of dogs under the age of 3, while the National Council on Pet Population finds that most dogs are turned in to shelters for common behavior and training issues that could easily be solved with the assistance of a professional. In fact, research has found that training and socializing dogs when they're young can reduce or even eliminate behavior problems in the future.
