Dog Principal

Welcome to Dog Principal, where real-world training transforms dogs and strengthens the bond with their families. As a trainer and behaviorist, I specialize in Reality-Based Dog Training, a compassionate, practical approach built around each dog's unique needs. Based in Annapolis, MD, and serving the greater DMV, including Washington, D.C., Arlington, and Alexandria, I provide in-home and public area training for all breeds, from puppies just starting out to dogs working through aggression or reactivity.

I start by observing each dog closely to figure out what actually motivates them, whether that's play, food, or something else entirely, and shape my training around it for results that actually stick.

On this channel, you'll find real transformation stories, training tips, and guidance for challenges like reactivity, aggression, and socialization. Subscribe and follow along on the journey toward a calmer, more confident dog and a stronger bond with your family.
