We are DogMastery

Welcome to DogMastery!

We are an established training facility where difficult dogs and puppies become loving, well-behaved family members. We specialize in house manners, pet training, puppy development, protection and behavior modification. We offer consultation/behavior assessment evaluation for all breeds. DogMastery majors in difficult-to-handle breeds, including those with aggressive, destructive, or disruptive tendencies. Although working dogs are a big piece of DogMastery, we also train smaller breeds to behave, protect, and love their companion families. 

Our goal is to develop and promote understanding between pet and owner, a relationship that thrives on clarity, rapport and mutual admiration instead of fear. DogMastery enables owners to better understand and communicate with their canine family members based on the psychology of learning. We take great pride in covering all aspects of the human-canine bond and our training methods aren’t strictly food, nor voice-motivated, but rather focus on whatever motivation works best for our clients and their pets. We believe that dogs are similar to people, insofar as each individual dog holds a unique personality. 

Owner, Marc Eric James, has been involved in all facets of teaching and training dogs since his teenage years. He apprenticed with his uncle at the training facility Pro Train in 1990, and eventually branched off to found his own company. His ideologies on behavior, drives, and temperament are highly regarded in the field of dog training. For over three decades, Mr. James has developed and implemented programs for law enforcement, home and family protection, Schutzhund (IGP), training schools, and obedience and behavioral programs at county shelters.
