About me

My name is Dale, and I am a Professional Dog Trainer and the host of the Puppy Talk Podcast. I regularly contribute to many national publications, providing my expertise for articles, news stories, and blog posts.

In 2008, while living in Florence, AL, I rescued this amazing 3-month-old Lab Husky Mix named Spaulding. After working with many top dog trainers in AL and FL and using the tools learned to train Spaulding, I took several professional Dog Trainer Certification Courses and started my own dog training business. 

I specialize in Puppy Obedience Training and have successfully trained over 1100 puppies in my career through my highly successful puppy training program. I love working with people to help them raise a happy, healthy, and obedient puppy.

In 2020 I earned a CDTK (Certified in Dog Training Knowledge) through the Master Course as well as a Certificate in Dog Training and Behavior through the Core Skills Course at Catch Canine Trainers Academy.
