"I am a 5 foot woman with a GSD/cane corso mix who used to lunge at everything. I stopped walking her. You told us you'd fix her leash walking on day 1 and I thought that was insane. It was not insane. I take her on public walks now. By myself. With confidence."

Every session is 100% about your dog.
No group distractions. No shared time. Just your dog, your trainer, and a plan built around the specific issues you're dealing with.
The Training Progression
How private sessions usually flow
Every dog moves through the same progression. we only advance once they are reliable at each stage.
01
Fix major control issues
We start with the fundamentals that make your dog livable: loose-leash walking, on-leash reactivity, and foundational obedience. No advanced work until these hold.
Phase 1
02
Introduce off-leash control with the e-collar
Once your dog is reliable on-leash, we layer in the e-collar to condition off-leash responsiveness in a controlled environment. Low-level, clear, and fair.
Phase 2
03
Increase on-leash pressure
Now we proof the basics under real distractions. other dogs, people, noise, movement. Your dog learns to hold obedience when the environment is not cooperating.
Phase 3
04
Increase off-leash pressure
With the e-collar as backup, we expose your dog to progressively harder off-leash challenges. The goal: your dog chooses you over every distraction.
Phase 4
05
Socialize + off-leash at the park
Once your dog is reliable, we socialize structured and take them off-leash in public spaces. parks, trails, patios. This is the reward for the work above.
Phase 5
06
Home visit
If problems persist in your home environment. door manners, guests, resource guarding, separation. we come to you and address it where it actually happens.
If needed
We only advance when your dog is ready. Rushing stages is how trainers get brittle results. The progression above is the standard flow; your dog's pace is their own.

Jesse Sternberg: private dog Training + Board and Train = "The Best"
Dedicated to Making Your Life Easier: Professional private dog training and immersive board and train programs in Toronto.
My approach to behaviour modification is gentle, mindful, and gets calm results fast.
I believe dogs act out their feelings. Frustration, anxiety, aggression, and chaotic puppy behaviour doesn't get solved with simple commands alone, bribes, or positive reinforcement only (although that's where we start). I will help you make your dog calm, awesome, loyal, happy, and very good... and I will help you do this very fast. I will help you understand your 'good owner' blind spots, and bridge the communication gap your dog is experiencing.
