Lee Ordeman, a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA) with over ten years of experience, helps dog owners build stronger, happier relationships with their pets through positive, motivational, and humane training methods. He specializes in behavior modification for issues like leash reactivity, separation anxiety, resource guarding, and fearfulness, while also offering obedience training and adoption/puppy counseling. Lee avoids punitive tools like prong collars, choke chains, and slip leaders, instead using high-value treats, play, affection, and novelty to motivate dogs. He is an associate at Wagamuffin Pet Care and a volunteer at DC’s Humane Rescue Alliance, and he studied under behavioral expert Debbie Winkler at Humane Domain. His approach focuses on understanding a dog’s natural inclinations to create lasting behavioral change that strengthens the human-dog bond.

Motivated Pet also offers home-stay boarding for past training clients, providing continuity of care and reinforcement in a familiar environment. Training is delivered through one-on-one coaching sessions, couple’s guidance, and self-improvement programs tailored to individual needs.

Lee’s commitment to evidence-based, reward-based training and his extensive continuing education in canine behavior make him a trusted choice for dog owners seeking ethical, effective solutions.
