What is
"Big Yang Dog Training"​
The name is all about the training we do:
Balance and Positive Reinforcement.
​
The philosophy of Yin and Yang is all about balance, and my goal is to help you find balance in your life alongside your dog. Potty training, destructive behaviors, and all the other problems you're having, they all create chaos! But I can help bring balance back to your household with a little practice.
​
Likewise, in the philosophy of Yin and Yang, Yang represents all things positive. All of my training techniques focus on Positive Reinforcement methods, which are scientifically proven to be the most effective way to train dogs.
​
From my experience, it's important that you learn more than just how to train your dog, but how to truly understand them. That's when the real magic happens!

A One Man and One Dog: Dream Team
My name is Sean, and Big Yang Dog Training is my business. I've been a dog owner all my life, and have worked as a professional trainer for a few years now. Growing up with ADHD has given me a deep interest in psychology, and now my love of canine psychology.
​
Reva is a 5-year old Australian Cattle Dog mix, and works as my training assistant and demo dog. She's a tri-pawed dog, and the main reason I got into dog training. The way that she simply adapted to losing half a leg in a matter of weeks amazed me, and taught me that dogs are amazingly smart and capable creatures once we take the time to learn their language.

Our Mission
Why We Do What We Do
My goal isn't to just solve your problems, but to teach you the How and Why behind your dog's behaviors, so that you can learn how to solve them as well.
Through our customized training tactics backed by real science, we will cultivate a stronger relationship between you and your dog, and help them grow and thrive alongside you.
