About The People’s Pup – Adventures and Training
A reward-based, relationship-first approach
The People's Pup is run by Teresa Spittler, a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and Fear Free Certified Professional serving Akron and surrounding areas. The site frames its work as "positive behavior solutions that foster the human/pet relationship" with an emphasis on building sustainable, real-life skills rather than quick fixes. Low-stress handling, clicker work, and trick training are part of the toolkit.
Adventures plus practical skills
What stands out is the mix of structured training and enrichment. Beyond private in-home sessions, the business runs group "dog adventures" — outings built around exercise, socialization, and recall — along with training walks that target leash pulling and reactivity. Stated specialties include puppy and kitten socialization, recall reliability, resource guarding, dogs with bite histories, and multi-animal home integration (dog/dog, dog/cat, cat/cat). Cat behavior consulting is offered as well, which is unusual for a dog trainer. The business notes it is fully insured through Pet Sitters Associates. Years of experience are not stated on the site, but the credentials and clearly described methodology give a good sense of how this trainer works.
