My name is Dale Ward and I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer.  I am a graduate of Animal Behavior College (ABC) based in Northridge, CA. I also hold BA Honors and Masters degrees. After spending many years in the corporate world, owning my own consulting business, I decided to do what I really love, work with dogs.  As  a member of Victoria's VSPDT dog trainer network, I can offer you a way to work with and train your dog that focuses on a positive, sensitive and sensible approach.  My methods are simple and effective.  I place great emphasis on consistency, clarity of the message, and kindness. I hope you will allow me to help you in your quest to train your dog.
