Hey, I’m Justin, and this is my Monster.
Let me tell you a little about us, trust me, it’s been a ride to get here.
I didn’t just decide one day to be a dog trainer. Life kind of led me here (yeah, no pun). I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, I’m a fourth-generation San Franciscan born and raised where the fog rolls heavy, and the rain falls so much even dogs have raincoats. It’s wild, rugged, and beautiful. Life out here taught me patience, resilience, and how to work with nature, not against it. But it also threw curveballs that could knock you off your feet even if ready.
I spent some years up at Humboldt State, surrounded by towering redwoods and wild, untamed nature. It’s a place that teaches you a lot about growth, both literally and personally. After college, life took me through different industries and adventures, each shaping who I am today. But no matter where I was, I always felt a pull toward something deeper, something that connected me back to nature and purpose.
That’s when a dog walked into my life again and changed everything.
My Dutch Shepherd, my partner, my mirror, his name needs no introduction.
Training him wasn’t just about teaching him commands; it was about him teaching me patience, discipline, and trust in God, my fellow handler, and in the unknown. We didn’t just form a bond; we became a team. No leash, no limits. Just a journey through blood, sweat and tears that led to respect, unspoken understanding, and an unbreakable connection.
Through my dog, I found a new path. I started connecting with some of the best dog handlers in the world, learning their methods, and fine-tuning my own. But I realized dog training isn’t just about the dogs, it’s about the people, too. Helping others build that connection with their dogs, watching them transform into a team, it’s powerful and rewarding.
Now, l’m here to share that journey with you. Whether you’ve got a new pup, a stubborn older dog, or just want to strengthen that bond, l’m here to guide you through it. It’s not just about sit, stay, and heel. It’s about trust, communication, and creating that unshakable bond.
So, if you’re ready to turn your relationship with your dog into that bond of your dreams, follow along. Let’s train, grow, and have some fun doing it.
