About Us

JEFF RICCIO
OWNER/TRAINING DIRECTOR

I have been a passionate, professional dog trainer for the past 15+ years, it is my goal to provide you with quality, reliable dog training that will improve the communication and relationship between you and your pet. I have experience in all phases of dog training; from police dog training (in the areas of contraband detection, human tracking, criminal apprehension, etc.) to reliable obedience training and behavior modification for the everyday pet owner. Dog training is not just my career, it is also my hobby. I am on the board of directors for the Protection Sport Association and my wife and I compete in the sport with our personal dogs. I am classically trained through both formal education and apprenticeships/employment with some of the best trainers in the country. We look forward to working with you!
