Dog Training Naturally is a Lake Worth-based dog training service led by Ileen Green, a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) with over 25 years of experience. The business specializes in positive reinforcement methods to build trust, confidence, and lasting behavior change in dogs and their owners. Services include private in-home training, behavior modification, puppy training, service dog support, and multi-dog household management. Ileen focuses on creating calm, cooperative relationships through compassionate, science-based techniques, and she is highly recommended by veterinarians, rescues, and groomers. She also offers walk-and-train sessions, new pet introductions, and guidance on nutrition and diet. Her approach is designed to be easy, fun, and fast, with an emphasis on real-life situations and owner education.

Ileen volunteers with animal shelters and rescue organizations and provides ongoing continuing education to stay current with the latest training science. She recommends trusted resources like Karen Pryor’s “Don’t Shoot the Dog!” and Patricia McConnell’s “The Other End of the Leash” to help owners understand canine behavior. She prohibits the use of choke, prong, or pinch collars and recommends buckle collars, martingales, head halters, or harnesses with a 6-foot leash. Her training is tailored to dogs of all ages, breeds, and backgrounds—from puppies to reactive rescues.

Clients appreciate her personalized, patient, and professional style, with many noting immediate improvements after just one session. She is accessible by phone for follow-up questions and provides detailed materials and handouts after each visit.
