About the Trainer

The Educated Dog is a professional dog training and behavior modification service led by Aaron Stewart, offering in-home training for dogs of all breeds and ages. Aaron specializes in solving persistent behavioral issues such as leash pulling, excessive barking, jumping, chewing, potty training, separation anxiety, fearfulness, and biting using positive reinforcement techniques grounded in canine psychology. He emphasizes teaching owners how to communicate effectively with their dogs, ensuring long-term success through teamwork and understanding of natural dog behavior. Unlike typical obedience trainers, Aaron focuses on behavior modification rather than basic commands, helping dogs and owners who have tried other methods without success. He also provides breed selection consulting to help families choose the right dog before bringing one home.

Aaron is certified by NNDDA, DB National K-9, and Interquest Detection Canines, with over 30 years of experience working with detection and working dogs since 1990. He has trained dogs for high-profile clients including NFL legend Troy Aikman and is recognized as a “Dog Whisperer” on Home & Lifestyle TV. His methods are praised for being effective, compassionate, and tailored to both the dog and the owner’s lifestyle.
