About Dave Dobbins
Dave loves seeing the bond and connection grow between a dog and their owner, and he enjoys being part of that change. His years as a teacher shaped the way he trains people, not just dogs. He takes time to explain, demonstrate, restate, and compare concepts so clients understand what to do and why it works.
Dave also enjoys the surprising connections between his past career and dog training, plus the bonus of meeting so many dogs and dog lovers.
Training Tip From Dave
Dave’s first partial day of a Board and Train is focused on familiarity and bonding. He has found that when a dog is connected to him, likes him, and trusts him, they respond much faster to training.
