The best version of your dog awaits.

I train owners in dog behavior and lead dog walks that are structured to reinforce great behavior.

My approach is different: I use neither treats nor shock collars and I favor nature’s techniques for revealing the safe, social, and charming side of your dog.

Serving Dover-Sherborn and surrounding towns since 2015.

Hi, I’m Doug

For more than a decade, I’ve helped families in the Dover–Sherborn area end up with dogs who feel easier to live with — not through more commands, but through a clearer relationship and the daily rhythm that makes it stick.

My work is calm, practical, and designed to change how your dog experiences you, so behavior improves everywhere: at home, on walks, around guests, and out in the real world.

I offer two simple ways to get started: owner-focused behavior sessions, and small-group adventure walks I lead for dogs that reinforce the same calm, social habits in motion.

Services

  • I teach owners the practical leadership techniques that dogs feel fast — not treats and tricks, but real behavioral change.

  • Small-group adventure walks that build calm, social dogs through movement, structure, and real-world practice.

  • For owners dealing with a sudden behavior change, a scary incident, or a dog who feels out of control. We identify what’s really happening and map the fastest path back to calm, safe living.

  • Limited boarding is available for established Dogway clients. Calm, structured care — not a kennel environment.
