Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Other
Dog Behavioral Training School offers in-home evaluations and training, as well as board and train programs. The initial “Meet, Greet, and Evaluation” is conducted at the client’s home to observe the dog in its environment and interpret body language. Many issues are often resolved during this initial evaluation.
For more complex issues, additional training sessions are available, typically requiring two to three sessions for completion. The board and train program is specifically for severely aggressive, fearful, and high-anxiety dogs, conducted at the trainer’s home for two to three days to achieve immediate and permanent results. The training methods focus on communication through body language, energy, and sounds, without the use of treats or shock collars.

The evaluation fee is $400, which is conducted at the client’s home.

Training for Protection, Narcotic Detection, or Service Dogs will incur higher costs. Payments are made via invoice sent by email, and credit cards are accepted; cash is not.
Testimonials
“David is an incredible dog behaviorist / Trainer, whatever you need to name or call him. He understands what dogs really think, not what we, humans believe they are thinking and placing those thoughts on the dog. We did order his book and it is in the mail. I figured out how to do a DUO Online, like Facetime, which is a video chat and my husband could film me with our two mini Aussies that are 1 1/2 years old. Training was online and not in person. David gave us instruction on the video phone and after viewing two videos of our biggest problems, which was chaotic loud barking at next door thru the fence. You definitely have to do the work he offers and he sends a lot of information to read and do the homework assignments. You will be pleased. Thanks.”

“I have a 7 yr old German Shepherd who is so vicious that for the last 5 yrs that I could not even take him for a walk and he lives in a large kennel in the backyard. I have not been able to get close without being bitten. I have had 5 trainers here over the yrs with no change, just wasted money. David came for the Evaluation and without saying a word or giving treats, he was walking down the street with my dog on a leash. Another 10 minutes go by and he handed me the leash and I was walking my dog without a muzzle for the first time. No more aggression. I have a dog now, not a liability. David only communicated with body language and my dog understood him. It has been a week and I have a loving normal dog. God bless David and his talent he was blessed with.”
– David Moore
“My rescue dog, Bella, lived the first seven years of her life in a kennel. David has been invaluable in helping her adjust to living in a home. For two months she would not leave her “safe spot” behind the dining room table. Enter David. He had Bella in the living room on a dog bed in one session! Bella has some socialization issues with other dogs. David has successfully introduced her to other dogs and while Bella is not playing with them yet, I know that with David’s continued guidance and training she will be soon! David knows dogs. He understands dogs and he can communicate effectively with them. I highly recommend David! He can do what he says he can do and is truly a canine life saver!”

About the Trainer
Dog Behavioral Training School, led by David Scott, is a highly-ranked dog behaviorist and trainer in Southern California. David specializes in correcting and rehabilitating a wide range of behavioral issues such as aggression, fear, anxiety, insecurity, separation anxiety, chewing, excessive barking, jumping, domination, and biting. He has been training dogs since 1975 and emphasizes communication through body language, energy, and sounds, without the use of treats or shock collars.
David’s methods focus on teaching humans how to understand and communicate with their dogs from a canine perspective, establishing clear rules, boundaries, and limitations. He believes that many issues can be resolved immediately, often within the initial evaluation or a few sessions. In addition to behavior modification, the school offers specialized training for Protection, Narcotic Detection, Service Dogs, Search & Rescue, and general obedience.
The business also provides board and training programs for severely aggressive, fearful, and high-anxiety dogs, conducted at David’s home rather than a kennel, typically requiring only two to three days for results. They also offer emergency or vacation boarding for current and past clients. A unique service offered is “Canine Protecting Kids From Drugs,” where David’s Belgian Malinois searches homes for narcotics.
