Dog Behavioral Training School is a dog training business led by David Scott, a canine behaviorist with 47 years of hands-on experience. David specializes in in-home behavioral modification for issues like aggression, fear, anxiety, and reactivity, using no treats or shock collars. His method focuses on communication through body language, energy, and sound to establish rules, boundaries, and limitations, aiming to create permanent behavior change. He trains dogs in their natural environment—homes and public spaces like dog parks—to address pack dynamics and owner-dog interactions. David also offers online video consultations and has authored five published books on canine psychology and sociology, including “Teaching Humans How to Be Dog’s Best Friend” and “Doggie Style Training”.

He serves clients in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties in California, as well as Boise and surrounding areas in Idaho. His training is designed for owners seeking immediate results and long-term behavioral transformation without reliance on food rewards or aversive tools. David also provides a unique service: drug detection searches in homes using his Belgian Malinois to assist parents concerned about substance use by their children.

Online video evaluations are also available for remote clients. After the evaluation, clients receive an invoice for payment before training sessions begin.
