Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Positive Reinforcement Only
Equipment:
- ✓ Flat Collars
- ✓ Harnesses
Training is delivered through one-on-one in-home sessions tailored to the dog’s specific behavioral issues. Each session focuses on teaching the owner how to provide clear leadership and consistent communication. For intensive needs, boarding programs (up to 30 days) are offered where dogs receive continuous training, exercise, and socialization. A free phone consultation precedes all training to assess the dog’s behavior and set goals. Training never stops during boarding, with routines mimicking a family environment.

Pricing Summary
Private in-home training sessions are generally $300 for a two-hour session. Boarding is available for overnight up to 30 days with pricing based on duration and individual needs. No package pricing is detailed, but results are guaranteed and fees are described as reasonable.
Testimonials
“I was amazed at the changes in our dogs after just one session. I have owned dogs since I was a kid (30+ years ago) and have trained 2 of my dogs to be ‘Therapy dogs.’ As knowledgeable as I was (or thought I was), Gene trained me to be so much better. I had a hard time being firm with my dogs, but Gene taught me that dogs, like children, need boundaries… I found out that I was really the cause of any bad behavior, and that I needed to be trained much more than our dogs.”
-David
“We have a little basset hound named Tobi. She liked to rush the door when people came over and then jump on them… When Gene came to work with her, he took charge immediately and Tobi responded right away. After just one session, she knows what is expected… I would recommend Gene to anyone.”
-Kaylene
“I live in a quiet gated community and was always anxious that my dog was disturbing the neighbors… After only two sessions I could rest easy and Toby is now well behaved. My neighbors thought I bought a new dog.”

About the Trainer
Gene, the owner of Dog Masters Training, is a dog trainer with over forty years of experience specializing in correcting behavioral issues such as aggression, hyperactivity, obsession, barking, jumping, and fearfulness. He provides private in-home training sessions focused on building a calm, respectful bond between dogs and their owners using dog-friendly, positive methods that emphasize leadership, consistency, and routine—without relying on treats or force. Gene teaches owners how to communicate effectively with their dogs by understanding canine instincts and behavior, helping them become the confident leader their dog needs. In addition to private training, he offers boarding services where dogs stay for up to 30 days and receive continuous training, exercise, and socialization as part of his “family.” He also provides a free phone consultation to assess behavioral issues and set expectations before training begins.
His approach is centered on the belief that no dog is untrainable, and results are guaranteed. Clients report dramatic improvements after just one or two sessions, with many noting their dogs became calmer, more obedient, and better socialized. Gene also helps owners overcome their own training mistakes, often finding that the human’s behavior is the root cause of the dog’s issues.
He serves dog owners in Tucson and surrounding areas, offering flexible scheduling including weekends and evenings, and accommodates all dog ages and sizes, from puppies to seniors, including high-energy, fearful, or aggressive dogs.
Accomplishments
Gene has over forty years of experience training dogs with behavioral issues since age 15. He has successfully transformed dogs deemed “lost causes” by other trainers, including severely aggressive or fearful dogs, and has helped owners achieve dramatic behavioral improvements in just one or two sessions. His methods have enabled even young children to walk previously unmanageable dogs.
How to Get Started!
Begin with a free phone consultation to identify the dog’s behavioral issues and understand what to expect from training. After the consultation, clients can schedule private in-home sessions or boarding services.
