Located in Burlington, MA, and proudly serving nearby communities, we offer professional dog training and walking services with a clear mission: to build lasting bonds between dogs and their humans.
Founded by a passionate dog lover and trainer with a signature beard and an even more distinctive training philosophy, Bearded Dog Training is all about connection over correction. We use positive reinforcement, science-backed techniques, and game-based learning to transform everyday moments into powerful communication between you and your pup.

Whether you’re welcoming a new puppy, need help with behavior challenges, or just want your dog to enjoy structured walks or virtual training from home, we offer flexible packages to meet you where you are.

Qualifications
🦴
Certified Dog Trainer You Can Trust
I am proud to be a Certified Dog Trainer through Animal Behavior College, holding the respected ABCDT credential. This nationally recognized certification reflects extensive education in canine behavior, obedience training, and science-based, positive reinforcement methods. It also includes hands-on training under the guidance of a professional mentor and real experience working with shelter dogs.
In an unregulated industry where anyone can claim to be a dog trainer, this certification sets a clear standard of credibility and professionalism. It proves that I have met rigorous requirements and bring both the knowledge and real-world experience needed to help dogs and their owners succeed.
When you work with me, you are choosing someone who is not only passionate about dogs, but who is professionally trained to create lasting results through kind, effective, and proven techniques. Let’s build a better relationship between you and your dog—one that’s based on trust, clear communication, and mutual respect.
Why My Partnership with LEAP Matters
Dog training is an unregulated industry, which means anyone can claim to be a trainer without education or oversight. Many still use harmful, outdated methods that can damage your dog’s trust and well-being.
As a LEAP-approved trainer, I am part of a trusted network committed to science-based, positive reinforcement training. These methods are backed by respected organizations like the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior and the Humane Society.
This partnership reflects my dedication to safe, effective, and humane training that builds lasting results through trust and communication. When you choose a LEAP trainer, you are choosing professionalism, compassion, and proven results for your dog.
