UB Haven is a dog training and behavior modification service led by Don, a science-based trainer who focuses on compassionate, fear-free methods. Don helps dog parents address behavioral challenges such as leash reactivity, separation anxiety, fearfulness, biting, and recall issues using positive, reward-based techniques. He does not use choke collars, prong collars, or electronic devices. Services include virtual initial consultations, personalized coaching for dog owners, and a video library with training resources. Don also provides guidance on creating safe spaces like “Zen Dens,” adjusting feeding schedules, and using tools like flirt poles and lick mats to improve dog well-being. His approach is holistic, addressing the dog’s entire life context, including health, environment, and family dynamics.

Don works with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and supports owners of rescue dogs with trauma histories. He collaborates with veterinarians when needed and emphasizes building strong human-dog bonds through understanding and communication. UB Haven offers virtual sessions, making services accessible regardless of location.
