Nose, Eyes, Ears Dog Training is a dog training business based in Madison Heights, MI, led by owner Kyler McCulloch. The business specializes in in-home training sessions, behavior modification, and basic obedience using a psychology-based, positive reinforcement approach rooted in the natural development of a dog’s senses—prioritizing smell, sight, and hearing as they emerge after birth. Kyler combines insights from training experience at Petco, PetSmart, and rescue organizations to create a customized, non-one-size-fits-all method that focuses on building trust, love, and respect between dogs and their owners. In addition to private in-home training, they offer home-style board and train retreats (4- or 8-week programs), structured daycare, and overnight boarding. Training is tailored to each dog’s age, energy level, behavior issues, and the owner’s capabilities, with hands-on instruction for the owner to become their dog’s confident leader.

They address common issues including leash pulling, separation anxiety, reactivity, fearfulness, jumping, destructive behavior, and biting. All training programs include personalized tools like training leashes and handwritten handbooks, and board and train clients receive daily photo/video updates and weekly follow-ups. The business emphasizes education, helping owners understand dog psychology to apply skills beyond training sessions.

Accomplishments

Kyler McCulloch has nearly a decade of experience training dogs through work with Petco, PetSmart, and rescue organizations, developing a unique method by integrating best practices from multiple training styles. He has successfully helped rescue dogs with severe behavioral issues, including those from hoarding situations, and supported dogs in becoming certified therapy candidates.
