About Always Faithful Dog Training of Lexington

About

Always Faithful Dog Training of Lexington is the Lexington location of the Always Faithful Dog Training (AFDT) network, "Founded by a United States Marine!" The Lexington page is headed "Dog Training in Lexington, KY – Leadership-Based Dog Training."

The Lexington team is listed as **Dave, Owner & Level 2 IDTA Trainer** and **Madison, Level 1 IDTA Trainer**.

The method is described as "Leadership Dog Training": "Dogs are pack animals. As part of your pack, you want your dog to follow you. Our leadership-based techniques will enable you to be the pack leader." The site is explicit about what it does not use — "No Treats, No Clickers, No Shock Collars, No Gimmicks" — and delivers lessons as "private in-home lessons."
