Dog Spelled Forward’s mission is to help you and your dog live together happily and in harmony. My primary method in achieving this goal is to help you communicate with your dog.
This website is a part of this mission. In it you will find helpful information for dog owners and trainers that will also give you an idea of how I can help you with your training or behavior problem. All of the information is available for distribution to your friends and clients, providing you follow the guidelines of the Creative Commons License I use.
What I Do
Every dog deserves a home, and every home deserves to be safe and happy. It’s my job to make sure the latter is true for you.
Whether your dog was brought home as a puppy or adopted later in life, she may present you with a variety of issues, such as difficulties walking on leash, jumping up on people, or chewing on items that should not be chewed on. She may even have more serious behavioral problems such as guarding food and toys, lunging at, snapping at or biting people or fighting with other dogs. I have the knowledge, the experience and the desire to help you, regardless of how difficult or trivial the problem may seem.
I believe that all training challenges and behavioral problems are best solved with safe, humane and scientifically sound solutions.
After adopting a puppy that was a “bit of a handful”, I discovered modern dog training via classes at St. Hubert’s Dog Training School, experiencing first hand what can be done with dog-friendly techniques
I live with Dagmar, my very patient wife, and Christian, our son. Caffeine, the bit of a handful puppy turned still-a-bit-of-a-handful dog, shares our home with Gage and Buddha, two other rescues. (Caffeine is pictured jumping through the tire.)

After adopting a puppy that was a “bit of a handful”, I discovered modern dog training via classes at St. Hubert’s Dog Training School, experiencing first hand what can be done with dog-friendly techniques
I have since attended an Internship at Pat Miller’s Peaceable Paws, level one and two Instructor Training Courses with Dogs Of Course, and became an instructor at St. Hubert’s. I also serve on the Board of Directors of the International Association of Behavior Consultants and am a regular blogger at Dr. Ian Dunbar’s Dog Star Daily website.
