Small batch service dog training for huge results.

My journey into dog training began on 06/06/2006 — the day after I graduated high school and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. After completing Military Police School, I was selected for the Military Working Dog Handlers Course, then advanced to the elite Specialized Search Dog Course, where I learned to guide dogs hundreds of meters away using radio harnesses and near-silent commands.
I went on to support elite military units across Iraq and Afghanistan, locating dozens of explosive devices and saving countless lives. Later, I served as Kennel Master at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan for the Department of State, leading one of the most critical K9 security teams in the world.
Today, I bring that same standard of excellence, precision, and trust to every service dog I train — helping civilians live safer, more independent lives with a partner they can rely on.

At My Houndmaster, we don’t just teach commands — we build mission-ready service companions. Our dogs are trained to work off-leash, navigate crowds, assist in medical emergencies, interrupt dissociation episodes, guide their handlers to exits and vehicles, and more.

At My Houndmaster, we don’t just teach commands — we build mission-ready service companions. Our dogs are trained to work off-leash, navigate crowds, assist in medical emergencies, interrupt dissociation episodes, guide their handlers to exits and vehicles, and more.
Every dog is evaluated against an enhanced standard based on international service dog benchmarks, tactical working dog protocols, and real-world civilian needs.
We don’t settle for checklists — we surpass them.
When you work with us, you’re not getting a pet obedience graduate. You’re getting a trusted partner forged with the same discipline once reserved for military working dogs who protected lives under fire.

Every service dog we place — whether selected from our finished candidates or built with you from the ground up — is custom-crafted for the individual. No two lives are the same, and no two dogs should be either.
Maybe you need a steady companion to help you navigate the high-traffic streets of a busy city, guiding you through crowds and
Every service dog we place — whether selected from our finished candidates or built with you from the ground up — is custom-crafted for the individual. No two lives are the same, and no two dogs should be either.
Maybe you need a steady companion to help you navigate the high-traffic streets of a busy city, guiding you through crowds and helping interrupt dissociation before it takes hold.
Maybe you live on a farm, and your service dog needs to be comfortable around livestock, assist with light mobility tasks, and still maintain full public access obedience for trips into town.
Maybe you need a dog that can anchor you during moments of overwhelming anxiety — applying deep pressure therapy in ways subtle enough to preserve your dignity and strong enough to ground you when it matters most.
Whatever your life demands, we build the dog to match it.
We work with you directly, assessing your needs, your goals, and even your lifestyle rhythm — then we design the training plan around you. From task training to environmental proofing, from high-distraction public access to quiet, in-home regulation, we forge real-world reliability at every stage.
At My Houndmaster, you're not adapting to some preset program.
The dog is adapted, trained, and tuned — for you.
Built for your life.
Forged for your future.

At My Houndmaster, we work at a different pace — and at a different level.
We don’t run a high-volume operation. We don't hand out certificates for participation. We don't cut corners.
Every dog we train is forged to be a shadow, an anchor, and a protector when needed — the absolute best version of themselves, crafted with real world mast
At My Houndmaster, we work at a different pace — and at a different level.
We don’t run a high-volume operation. We don't hand out certificates for participation. We don't cut corners.
Every dog we train is forged to be a shadow, an anchor, and a protector when needed — the absolute best version of themselves, crafted with real world mastery.
Whether it’s task work, public access, protection, advanced off-leash control, or emergency response, we train it all — and we train it to elite standards.
We aren’t here to convince you.
We aren’t here to compete with the "trainer down the street" offering cookie-cutter results.
If you're shopping around, you're not ready.
We work with handlers who are all in — who see their dog as a partner, not a project.
If that's you, welcome to the Keep. You won't find anything like us anywhere else.
If it's not — there are plenty of cheaper, easier options out there.
We’ll be here when you're serious.

Our Behavioral Board & Train program is designed for dogs who need a reset, structure, and clear communication to get back on track. Your dog lives in a calm, low-pressure training environment where unwanted behaviors—barking, reactivity, anxiety, pulling, jumping, nipping—are addressed through clarity and consistency, not chaos or conflict. We rebuild the dog’s foundation: confidence, impulse control, environmental stability, and clean obedience that actually holds up in the real world. Each d
Our Public Access Off-Leash Board & Train takes dogs far beyond basic obedience and into real, durable reliability in any environment. Your dog lives in a structured, small-batch training immersion where calm behavior, clean leash manners, and confident off-leash control become second nature. We condition dogs around crowds, traffic, stores, wildlife, and high-distraction public settings so they can perform anywhere without stress. Off-leash reliability isn’t about force—it’s about clarity, com
We focus on psychiatric service work, stability tasks, public-access conditioning, and advanced obedience that holds up anywhere—from crowded stores to high-stress environments. Every dog receives a small-batch, one-on-one immersion experience, allowing rapid progress without the inflated timelines or price tags you see elsewhere. Owners stay involved through hands-on sessions, clear communication, and realistic expectations. Whether you’re seeking a fully trained service dog or want to elevate
I’m currently training service dogs full-time and give my full focus during the day. I don’t take calls or respond quickly because I’m usually in the field or spending time with my daughter in the evenings.
