About Do Over Dog Training
Meet Our Trainers
Do Over Dog Training was founded on the belief that meaningful progress begins with the relationship between dog and handler. We focus on helping teams build trust, confidence, and clear communication through thoughtfully designed, specialized classes that meet dogs and people where they are.
​
Our instructors bring extensive education and hands-on experience to every class. We actively teach, host events, and continue our professional development to ensure our instruction remains current, ethical, and effective. This depth of experience allows us to support a wide range of teams—from those just starting out to experienced handlers looking to refine skills and deepen understanding.
At Do Over Dog Training, we value clarity over quick fixes. Our approach emphasizes thoughtful progression, individualized feedback, and an environment where both dogs and handlers feel supported. We believe learning should be engaging, empowering, and rooted in respect for the dog as an individual.
Whether you’re looking to strengthen your partnership, build confidence, or grow as a team, Do Over Dog Training is committed to guiding you with knowledge, integrity, and care—every step of the way.
