Why Canine Companion Consulting is the Best Dog Trainer for You and Your Dog

​

Beth and Wayne have been training canines, one human at a time, using positive, research-based methods since 2007.  Beth is a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (CDBC) through the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), an Elite Fear Free Certified Pet Professional, Aggression in Dogs Certified, Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer (CSAT), and has a graduate degree in behavior. Wayne has a graduate degree in education. Together, they will help you better understand your canine’s behavior as well as how to modify it through positive dog training. Beth and Wayne, a husband and wife team, attend most of their remote training, group classes, and private sessions together, so you get two trainers for the price of one!

​

At Canine Companion Consulting, we believe training should strengthen the bond between you and your dog—not stress it. Our approach combines science-backed methods, years of professional experience, and a whole lot of heart to help you and your dog thrive together.

​

Here’s what sets us apart:

• Customized Program - Every dog is unique, so your training plan will be tailored to your dog’s breed and personality, and your lifestyle. We don’t do cookie-cutter programs—we do your dog’s program for you.

• Certified & Experienced Trainers - We are certified professionals with extensive education in canine behavior, so you can trust that we know not just how to train, but *why* dogs do what they do.

• Ongoing Support - Training doesn’t stop when class ends. We provide follow-up guidance, answers to your questions, and strategies for real-life situations so you feel supported every step of the way.

• Clear Progress Reports - You’ll receive easy-to-understand Canine Behavior Reports on your dog’s progress, helping you track improvements and celebrate successes. You’ll always know where your dog is excelling and what to work on next.

• Real-Life Results - From puppy basics to serious behavior challenges, we’ve successfully helped dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Our clients see lasting improvements—not just quick fixes.

• Flexible Options - We offer private sessions, group classes, and specialized training to fit your schedule and goals. Whether you want obedience, agility, or help with behavioral issues, we’ve got you covered.

• A Pleasant, Welcoming Space - Our training environment is clean, safe, and designed to make dogs feel relaxed and focused—so learning comes easier and faster for both of you.

• Positive, Proven Training Methods - We use only reward-based, humane techniques rooted in the latest behavioral science. No fear. No pain. Just clear communication and consistent results.

• Relationship First - Training is about more than commands—it’s about trust, understanding, and joy. We focus on making you and your dog true partners in life.

​

After every private session, whether in-studio or remote, you get an individualized canine consultation report that captures the main points of the session so you always have something to refer to. The report can also be sent to any other pet professionals that are involved in your canine’s care, with your consent. This way your veterinarian, dog walker, or daycare providers are aware of the behaviors you are working to change and can easily follow along.

Beth and Wayne are always responsive and follow up with you after every session. They are always just an email, text, or phone call away to discuss your progress and your questions. With availability days, evenings, and weekends they are always there for you. Their goal is to help you achieve understanding and have an enhanced relationship with your Canine Companion.
