Dog training for the humans!
Unleash your pup’s potential with our one-of-a-kind enrichment training.
Dog Nuance is about learning to understand that nuance of dog training. There is no single solution that will always work for every dog. We can learn to recognize our dog’s strengths and weaknesses, and utilize these to set our pups up for success.
Are you ready to learn & speak fluent ‘Dog‘? Discover the dog trainer in yourself and build a powerful bond with your 4-legged-best-friend. Hire a professional, certified dog-trainer that will train both you & your pup!
Over 200 local dogs trained in the St. Peters area
Todd started working with dogs in 2021 and immediately found passion in working & communicating with dogs. Todd specializes in group behavior, having experience in working with extremely large packs (groups of over 80-dogs). Todd is licensed, certified, and insured as a dog trainer.
Focusing on behavioral training, Todd emphasizes the value of verbal-praise, or how powerful simply telling your dog “good boy!” can be. The goal of Dog Nuance Dog Training is to ultimately better the relationship between humans and their pets.

There's no need to spend thousands of dollars on training boot-camp.
While these programs promise rapid results, they often fall short due to a critical oversight: the lack of reinforcement in the familiar home environment.
Dogs learn best when training principles extend beyond the classroom. Our training bridges this gap by empowering you, the owner, to reinforce positive behaviors consistently. With our guidance, your dog won't just excel during boot-camp; they'll thrive at home, too.
