Who it's for
Is this you?
First-time puppy parents
You've never owned a dog before and want a reliable, start-to-finish system so you don't accidentally teach your pup bad habits from day one.
Repeat owners starting fresh
You've had dogs before but want to do it more intentionally this time — with science-backed methods instead of winging it like you did last time.
Work-from-home dog moms & dads
You're home all day with your puppy, which sounds great until it isn't — and you need a structured routine that works around your actual schedule.
Budget-conscious pet owners
You love your pup but can't justify $150-per-session private training fees, and you want professional-level guidance at a fraction of the price.
Behavior problem solvers
Your puppy is already biting, jumping, pulling, or barking — and you need real, humane fixes right now before the habits get harder to break.
Multi-pet household owners
You're introducing a new puppy into a home with kids, other dogs, or cats, and you need to nail socialization and introductions from the start.

Dionne Malush
Hey there — if you're reading this, you've probably got a new puppy at home, and things are maybe not going exactly as the Instagram reels suggested. The chewing. The middle-of-the-night whining. The zoomies at 6 a.m. The look of pure innocence on a face that definitely just destroyed something important.
I get it. I've been in the world of dog training for a long time, and I've worked with hundreds of puppies and their owners — from first-timers who didn't know where to start, to experienced dog owners who were surprised to find their new pup was nothing like the last one. And the one thing I hear over and over, from almost every single owner, is some version of: "I wish I'd known this sooner."
That's why I built Puppy Pro Academy. Not as a collection of tricks, but as a complete system — the same framework I use with clients, built around how puppies actually learn. When you understand the science (and I promise, it's simple and fascinating, not textbook-dry), training stops feeling like a battle of wills and starts feeling like communication. Your puppy isn't being stubborn or spiteful. They're just a puppy. And puppies are incredibly responsive when you know how to speak their language.
Everything in this school is practical, sequenced, and designed for real life. You're not going to need a clicker in each hand and a PhD in animal behavior. You need about 5–10 minutes a day, a handful of treats, and a willingness to be consistent. I'll handle the rest — walking you through daily routines, house-training, essential commands, socialization, behavior fixes, and even the rough patches that come during adolescence (because yes, your sweet puppy will hit a teenager phase, and yes, we're going to prepare you for it).
My philosophy is simple: training your puppy should make your relationship better, not more stressful. The goal isn't a robot dog that performs on command — it's a confident, happy, well-behaved companion who trusts you and genuinely enjoys learning. That's what I want for every single student in this school. And I'd love to help you get there.
Come on in. Let's raise a great dog together.
