Inspiration
Greg’s journey into dog training began with a deep appreciation for animal care and behavior, nurtured during his years working in pet care and handling environments. His time at Bronx Barx, where he worked hands-on with dozens of dogs daily, sparked a passion for creating safe, enriching, and structured experiences for dogs of all types. Seeing how much of a difference training and proper handling could make inspired him to dive deeper into the world of dog behavior and training.
Professional Experience
Greg has several years of experience working with dogs in structured environments, where he oversaw their care, enrichment, and behavior on a daily basis. His responsibilities have included supervising group play, managing safe interactions between dogs, and monitoring dogs during boarding and grooming sessions. With experience handling anywhere from 10 to 40 dogs at a time, Greg is confident in reading canine body language and responding appropriately. His background also includes leadership roles, customer communication, and managing team operations, all of which contribute to his patient and organized approach to dog training.
Training Focus
Greg is especially interested in foundational obedience and behavior management. He enjoys helping dogs build good manners and confidence, particularly those that may be struggling with anxiety, overstimulation, or social boundaries. His experience with group and one-on-one interactions gives him a strong understanding of canine dynamics, making him well-suited to guide dogs through structured routines and customized training plans.
Training Philosophy
Greg believes in a positive reinforcement approach that prioritizes trust, structure, and patience. He focuses on building healthy communication between dogs and their owners, using encouragement and consistency to support long-term success. Greg’s philosophy is that every dog is capable of learning and growth—and with the right guidance, they can thrive in any home environment.
