Your Dog TRainer

About Me

My name is Dale and I am the CEO and Founder of Top Gun Dog Training. In 2008, while living in Alabama, I rescued this amazing 3 month old Lab Husky Mix named Spaulding. After working with many top dog trainers in the area and using the tools learned to train Spaulding, I finally created my own dog training company. I specialize in training puppies starting at 10 weeks old. 


I specialize in helping new puppy owners with Dog Obedience Training and all dogs (an owners) with Leash Training. 


CHECK OUT MY REVIEWS ON GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK.


I have earned a CDTK (Certified in Dog Training Knowledge) and CDTB (Certificate in Dog Training and Behavior) through the Master Course at Catch Canine Trainers Academy.  


I am a regular contributor for many national publications, providing my expertise for articles, news stories, and blog posts. You can see all of my contributions on my Press page.


I am also the owner of K9 Business Coach helping small business and other dog trainers grow and succeed in business, and the Puppy Talk Podcast. 


My training methods consist of a combination between classical and operant conditioning, using mostly positive reinforcement.  I follow the Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) Effective Behavior Intervention Policy , as explained on this page here.  


Methods I Use For Obedience Training:

  • Positive Reinforcement - Good behavior, followed by a reward
  • Clicker Training - Marking a behavior with sound, followed by a reward
  • Relationship Based Training - Using dog communication (not words) to strengthen the bond


Methods I use for Behavior Modification:

  • Desensitization 
  • Counterconditioning
  • Differential Reinforcement


I serve most of Broward County and Palm Beach County in South Florida.
