We can help any dog, any breed, any problem behavior,
achieve balance and training goals.
With over 40 years of experience in training and canine behavioral health, I've made it my mission to strengthen the bond between dogs and their families - creating harmonious homes and well balanced companions. When dogs feel understood, they thrive, and so do the people who love them!
My work has taken me around the world, training for clients and competing with my own dogs, including introducing a protection breed to agility competition in the sport of Mondio. I've been honored to be featured on A&E TV, in Forbes, and in Americas Who's Who, and am internationally recongized for my contributions to the canine world.
I've trained and supplied personal protection and service dogs for clients around the globe, as well as obedience classes for countless families and their beloved pets.
All of this experience comes together in GOOD DOG DAY - where every day truly is a good dog day for you, your family, and your dog.

Testimonials
"Working with Otto has been a game-changer for me and my dog. The training sessions were not only effective but also enjoyable. I highly recommend their services"
- Samantha
"I was unable to take my dog anywhere in public because she was reactive to others and unpredictable. Otto trained not only my dog, but trained me as well! I can now take my girl anywhere I go, and always get compliments on how well behaved she is. It's truly been a lifechanging experience for the both of us!
-Lynn
"When I used to take my dog to "our old daycare place", I'd drop her off and watch them lead her into a large room with lots of other dogs to just hang our all day. Otto's Daily Balance Program is a night and day difference. Dogs are not running wild with a "babysitter" in the middle of the room on standby for bad behavior. There is a controlled ratio of trainers to daycamp dogs. Dogs are not running all over the place, it is a controlled environment where they learn all day long! She's mentally stimulated all day long, and comes home smart and tired, everyday :)

Hi Otto, About a year ago you came to my house to train my dog to be good with kids. I wanted to update you. We did all the things you told us to do with the walk, entering/exiting the house, etc. It worked! It only took about a month, and she was a whole new dog. Now we have a baby, and our dog has been great with her since the moment we bought the baby home. I haven’t forgotten what you did for us, and I wanted to say thank you. I cannot express to you how much I appreciate you taking the time to help us.

When my dog get off the bus after Daily Balance, he’s a much calmer and focused dog. He used to suffer from separation anxiety, but this program has greatly helped him become a relaxed dog at home and in public. Such a difference for our family! -Carla
Otto is currently helping me with my 3rd dog. They come back from training happy. I feel good that he is able to help expose them to all sorts of different situations, knowing he is exposing her to many different real life situations in public. He is helping her develop good habits and and a broad knowledge of the world. She’s just 5 months old, but already confident, well adjusted, and an overall good girl. Believe me, this wasn’t where we started! I was overwhelmed with a puppy that was everywhere, all at once, all the time. My arms were cut up and bruised because she was so mouthy. All of that has stopped. I’d NEVER use anyone else. Period.
