I'm not going to just teach you how to handle the problems you're having, I'm going to teach you how to really understand your furry friend.

Our Pawsitive Reviews!
Sean is an incredible, caring and knowledgeable trainer! He took our dog Kurt from his land-shark puppy days to a well behaved dog with perfect recall, and a thousand tricks in his repertoire (including reading commands!). I cannot recommend him enough.

Julia B. & Kurt - New Haven

Sean is an outstanding dog trainer. He seamlessly helps build both your dog’s skill and your confidence in training your dog. He has been instrumental in taking our dog from an anxious, sassy boy into a more confident, obedient and calm dog.
From teaching our dog basic manners and commands to a whole arsenal of tricks, Sean’s knowledge and caring approach has made training our dog feel easy. I truly can’t recommend him more!

Abel B. & Kurt - New Haven





Sean is an exceptional dog trainer as well as a communicative and thoughtful dog owner. He was informative with newer dog owners and reinforced good interactions with pups and humans alike.
​
His training style is easy to understand and keep up with as well as fun to partake in, I recommend Sean for new learners as well as advanced learners too!
