FernWood Dog Training

Real dog training for real life.

I help you build a calmer, more reliable dog and a better day-to-day routine—not just a list of tricks.

Fernwood Dog Training is about more than “sit,” “stay,” and “down.” We offer practical dog training in Cleveland and nearby neighborhoods like Lakewood, Ohio City, Tremont, Brooklyn, Westlake, etc.

I focus on creating a solid, working relationship between you and your dog so you’re not living with chewed cords, indoor accidents, and constant chaos.

My approach emphasizes:

    • Behavior over commands – understanding why your dog is doing something.

    •  Body language over assumptions – reading what your dog is actually saying.

    •   Consistent practice over perfection – real-world routines, not Instagram moments.

I have four years of hands-on experience, and I’m tired of watching people yell “SIT! BAD! STOP IT!” and expect their dogs to understand through all the noise magically. There’s a better way to communicate, and I’ll show you how.

We start by looking at what motivates you and your dog, how your household runs, and what actually needs to change. From there, we build a training plan that fits your real life.

You don’t know what you don’t know yet.

I’m here to help you learn it—and use it.
