My First Shadow Student
I received a rare opportunity to shadow Ralf Weber for 2+ months this summer. Ralf’s shadow program offers a vast amount of knowledge. But, he specializes in the modification of canine fearful behavior. As a student of dog behavior, I was able to observe the changes in the canine clients he worked with. I saw their confidence increase with each session. The knowledge I received and applied to my dogs during my program has made a noticeable difference. Primarily in regards to their confidence.
Ralf uses a solid, well-researched combination of science and modern dog training techniques to help the dogs and owners achieve their goals. The program itself is well-rounded and in-depth. I had access to select daytime sessions. Both at the facility and in the clients’ homes. On specific evenings, Ralf conducts social club nights. We worked on fear and other undesirable behaviors in the presence of other dogs.
Ralf made me feel comfortable and relaxed during the sessions. He offered information on growing a business, website design, branding, and even a little sword fighting and magic tricks on the side! I observed his day-to-day training routine with clients, worked with “board and trains,” and worked with my dogs under his supervision. He was able to explain his methods clearly and answered any questions I had.
I appreciate my time with Ralf and will use the skills I learned from him daily. I recommend his program without reservation.

For many of our clients, we train their dogs from puppyhood, getting them off to a great start. However, we also have extensive experience training rescue dogs from all imaginable backgrounds and circumstances. Our Board-and-Train program is our most popular.
We can help you, regardless of your dog's challenges or training goals. Being a professional dog trainer means having experience, knowledge, and skill. Further, we developed a highly effective training program to specifically help fearful dogs gain more confidence and become the best possible version of themselves. Building Confidence is our second most popular training program.
Last but not least, we are experts in dealing with all types of aggression in dogs and are often the trainers of last resort after many other programs have failed. Most of our aggressive dog clients previously spent significant money on half-baked solutions without much improvement. This is different from us. We will give you an honest assessment of what goals are realistic for your dog. We will tell you what can be resolved reliably and what likely needs to be managed before we start.
Our flagship product is our board and train program. But our virtual dog training and coaching services have become quite popular over the last couple of years.
