Meet Eric, Owner and Head Trainer

Eric’s journey in dog training began with his own dog, Turbo—a stubborn and reactive pitbull mix with a mind of his own. Determined to help Turbo overcome his leash reactivity and behavior challenges, Eric immersed himself in the world of dog training, pursuing professional courses, hands-on workshops, and years of practical experience.

With over a decade in the field, Eric now specializes in transforming even the most challenging behaviors for frustrated dog owners throughout the Scranton area. His balanced, compassionate approach has earned him the trust of countless families, providing reliable results that help dogs and their owners build positive, lasting relationships.

As a proud member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP), Eric continues to stay at the forefront of effective, humane training techniques. Whether working with puppies or adult dogs with deep-rooted habits, Eric is committed to helping you create a calm, well-behaved companion.
