Doug Poynter has been training both people and dogs for over 25 years. Doug trains using the latest in positive, rewards-based dog training techniques. His unique way of connecting with both the dog and the human owner allows him to solve the "unsolvable" dog problems. In addition to safely rehabiltating dogs that others have deemed unsavable and untrainable, Doug successfully trains obedience and general good behavior allowing owners to truly enjoy their pet dogs.

"Doug is our trainer at Friends United with the Richmond Shelter. We have access to many trainers in our area and we want only Doug to work with our dogs! His method is unique and is so amazing! Doug is without a doubt the only trainer that I know of who can routinely solve the most difficult of behavior problems with telephone consultations! I've been amazed at the dogs he's saved consulting with our clients over the phone. Whether working with clients in person, on the phone or through his written training material, I strongly recommend that you work with Doug!"
