Welcome to Connected Dog Training!
We help you build healthy behavioral responses in your dog through connection-focused, positive reinforcement training. Whether you're starting with puppy training, need basic obedience training, or are dealing with reactive or aggressive dog behavior, we provide expert guidance to create a well-mannered, confident dog.
Puppy Program
Goal – To help a puppy grow into a well-adjusted, confident, and polite adult dog by building positive habits early, fostering trust, communication and connection with their humans, and teaching foundational life skills such as calmness, focus, good manners, and safe socialization.
Dog Training Program
Goal – The ultimate goal of dog training is to create a strong relationship and connection with your dog so they can make choices you approve of without requiring constant direction. Training fosters your dog’s ability to self-regulate, remain calm, and adapt to new experiences. It also gives you the tools to communicate effectively, reduce stress in daily life, and enjoy your dog as a true partner. Together, you and your dog build a lifestyle of trust, confidence, and mutual enjoyment.
Dangerous behavior Program
Goal – Felt safety is the foundation of our work. When a dog truly knows they are safe, they can begin to explore alternative coping mechanisms rather than relying on aggression. Our goal is to help the dog build trust in their environment and their humans, learn new strategies for handling stress, and develop the confidence to make safer, calmer choices. At the same time, we equip the humans with management tools, communication skills, and realistic expectations to support long-term success
Virtual Dog Training
Goal – Build a strong relationship and connection with your dog, empowering them to make good choices independently without constant supervision. Through our virtual training program, you’ll also gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to guide your dog effectively in your own home environment. By learning how to train with your dog under real-life conditions, you’ll develop communication and problem-solving skills that set both of you up for long-term success.

Client Review
Nate was awesome! He helped us figure out the breed of our rescue (chihuahua retriever wtf) and talked us through different ways to help him adjust and regulate. Our dog has always been high energy and nervous but Nate was very patient. We will definitely work with him again. ♥️
“Nate was awesome! He came to our house and spent time not only training our dog but also teaching us on how to continue training our dog throughout the week where we saw real progress. He showed us fun games to build good behaviors and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. We love that his training is force-free and really focused on creating a positive experience. Our dog loved him, and we learned so much, and we like our dog better now after the training. Highly recommend Connected Dog Training”
“Bishop, our three year old golden retriever is really excitable and a little chaotic. We knew things needed to change, but didn’t know where to start. Then we heard about Nate and his work!
Nate is fantastic at training dogs (and humans 🤣). His instructions are logical and helped us connect with Bishop. After just a few sessions, we have the tools to help Bishop make smart decisions.
I’ve gone from questioning why we had a dog to truly enjoying having Bishop in our home. We can’t recommend Nate enough!!
