About Our Method
My Training Philosophy
Training goes beyond commands—it’s about relationship and communication. Dogs thrive when given clear leadership, structure, and consistent expectations.
When those are missing, unwanted behaviors like aggression or reactivity develop. My role is to guide you in becoming the calm, confident leader your dog needs. Through clear structure and positive consistency, your dog learns to relax and trust you.
My Proven Training Method
The Four Phases of Training:
- Teaching – Introducing new behaviors with luring, markers, and positive reinforcement.
- Correction – Once understood, the dog is held accountable with fair, tactful correction.
- Proofing – Reinforcing reliability around distractions and real-world environments.
- Maintenance – Coaching owners to maintain structure and confidence at home.
This process produces dogs that are not only obedient, but calm, confident, and stable—even in high-stress situations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can aggressive dogs really be trained?
Yes. Aggression often comes from fear, confusion, or lack of structure. With the right training and leadership, most dogs can be rehabilitated into calm, safe companions.
What’s the difference between obedience training and behavior modification?
Obedience training teaches commands like sit, stay, and heel. Behavior modification targets deeper issues such as aggression, reactivity, or anxiety. At Deliverance K-9, both are combined for long-term success.
How long does it take to see results?
Most owners notice improvement within the first few sessions. Long-term results depend on consistency and reinforcement at home.
Do you use positive reinforcement or balanced training?
I use a balanced training approach—rewarding good behavior while applying fair corrections when needed. This creates clarity, trust, and reliability.
