My name is Dale, and I am the CEO and Founder of Top Gun Dog Training. 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 Courses and created Top Gun Dog Training. I specialize in training puppies starting at 10 weeks old.
I am the host and producer of the Puppy Talk Podcast. My books, The Complete Puppy Training Manual and Potty Training Your Puppy, are available on Amazon
I specialize in Puppy Obedience Training and have successfully trained over 1000 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.
I regularly contribute to many national publications, providing my expertise for articles, news stories, and blog posts. You can see all of my contributions on my Press page.
My training methods combine classical and operant conditioning, primarily positive reinforcement. I follow the Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) Effective Behavior Intervention Policy, as explained on this page here.
