If you’re using my techniques, you do not need a lot of time to train a dog. Good training is not about “time” – it’s about “quality”. Every person in the world has enough time to train a dog (if they want one). I teach you how to live with your dog and integrate training into your day to day life, so that you’re not spending any additional time training than you would just living with your dog as usual. In fact, this is also why my training philosophy is more enjoyable and easier to sustain in the long run than other methods and programs.

Any age! If your dog can interact with their environment – it’s time!

As soon as possible! The sooner you can establish a clear understanding that you’re the leader – the easier and less time consuming training and maintenance becomes.

Yes. I’ve never turned away a dog owner due to their dog’s breed. Any breed is capable of the same great results as any other.

Depending on the severity of the aggression, this will determine if your dog needs more training time with me. Even in some of the worst cases, one week is all that is needed. However, if I feel your dog would greatly benefit – I’ll make a recommendation on how much longer we need. And remember, I don’t charge for this. It doesn’t happen all that often.

I graduated from Indiana University with a B.S. Degree in Kinesiology. I always gravitated towards behavior change theory, which is studied abundently in Kinesiology. I became a dog trainer because people needed my help when other trainers fail. I have a unique ability to handle even the toughest dogs. My unique perspective, college education, and personal experience have molded me into a world class canine behaviorist.

I do not require vaccinations. I’m not an “anti-vaxer” but I believe you have the right to training without being subjected to medical requirements. After all, if someone elses dog is vaccinated – then your dog should be no threat to them.

Not at all. Many people confuse dog training with being “dominant” or “alpha”. If you have children, do you feel like you’re the “alpha” over your children? Of course not, but they should still respect your authority. Being the leader is about being the most competent member who makes decisions that improve the quality of life for the entire group. In fact, you’ll soon realize you’re giving your dog an envious lifestyle that other dogs would be jealous of. The whole philosophy of Lee’s training is intended to give you a dog that gets more freedom, love, and enjoyment from family, friends, and even strangers. You will love your dog more and your dog will love you more. Teaching respect doesn’t have to be mean. You will not and should not be mean to your dog. As long as you fairly reward and discipline your dog for appropriate and inappropriate behavior, then your dog will love and respect you. When you learn how to safely discipline your dog, you’ll soon realize that it’s not mean at all. In fact, it’s a nice thing.

Dogtor Lee will accept over the counter pills/creams and prescription pills/creams. Dogtor Lee does not administer shots of any kind. If you have questions about your dogs medication needs, please email Dogtor Lee.

Lee’s training is unique: Lee charges “by the dog” and continues to help you until your goals are achieved. Most trainers charge “by the hour” or “by the class”. While there’s no shame in paying by the hour – Lee would rather help you until your goals are reached – no matter how long that takes. In most cases – Lee’s training will help you achieve full off leash control and perfect behavior within 3-6 months or sooner.

It’s always best to consult with your veternarian on any health related questions. For Lee’s training purposes, spaying or neutering is not required at any time. As far as Lee can tell, there is no significant correlation between spaying and neutering and obedience, behavior, or aggression issues. Lee’s training philosophies play a far greater role in resolving obedience, behavior, and aggression issues than medical treatments.

This isn’t a service I offer. I believe it is far more effective and more responsible to learn to train your dog so that you can give them a meaningful life. It may not be easy at first – but if you commit to learning and applying the techniques then you can save your dog from being passed from home to home – and possibly euthenasia. Once you become competent in my methods and gain the respect of your dog – you’ll find they are capable of a full recovery.
