About DOuGTrainer

What they offer

DOuGTrainer is Doug Parker, who trains at your home, right in front of you. The site focuses on sudden problems such as reactivity, lunging, barking, separation anxiety and aggression, and it is aimed at owners who have already tried conventional training without solving the problem. It also has pages on boundaries and service dogs.

How it works

The typical schedule is four visits over three weeks, and aggressive dogs take longer. The approach centers on educating the owner rather than drilling the dog, and the site says it uses no collars, clickers, treats or medication. It says he has been training since 2009.

Before you book
