Doug Parker is The DOuGTrainer℠.
Sudden Problems
Suddenly, your dog has started having problems. DOuGTrainer℠ trains at your home, right in front of you. He offers an unconventional, surprisingly fast and affordable, safe, humane, and holistic training alternative. All of his reviews confirm this.
One day into training, “Did you switch my dog?” is a classic client questions.
The Program
The typical schedule is four visits over three weeks — aggressive dogs take a bit longer. You’ll watch while those problems just… stop. You’ll see them slowly go away. It happens naturally and immediately, right in front of your eyes. As your dog patiently gets triggered to relax and submit, peace and order return. You learn it’s patience that’s been missing.
Reviews
Training since 2009, client reviews repeatedly tell the story. No negative reviews since 2014. No collars, no clickers, no treats, no meds, no muzzle. Natural. Holistic. Connected. Effective.
YouTube Is Collections of Opinions
Don’t listen to YouTube. That’s just a collection of everyone’s opinions. Compared to Nature, all opinions are broken.
You want Nature in charge, not human opinion, and not sequences of YouTube opinions. Listen to and look for trainers who themselves know how to listen to Nature, and can educate you how to hear what Nature’s been telling us.
It's So Simple
‘Educate the Human’ Training Alternative — It’s Not ‘Train the Dog’
Had you explained to me how simple the concept was…
No Collars, No Clickers, No Treats, No Meds
How Do I Know When My Dog Is Relaxed?
When you see their cold, wet nose, and relaxed, open-mouth breathing. You will get to see what horse whisperers call the dog version of the mammal’s “lick and chew.” Those say your dog is its most relaxed.
Here’s What It’s Like.
In Three Sheepdog Trial, a client explains how she wanted to see a video of her dogs before taking training. Imagine you’re a new client. You cannot see your dogs after their first session they haven’t had yet, but what about watching someone else’s dogs at their first DOuGTrainer visit?

Educate the human.
It’s not “Train the Dog” — DOuGTrainer Has the Dog Training Alternative
The Culture Is Learning to Be More Patient
There’s An Awareness Thing
Not only did Doug work with A’ja, but more importantly he taught us how to handle situations better as owners, which gave us the tools we needed to continue reinforcing her progress at home. His patience, professionalism, and genuine care for dogs shine through in every session.
We are so grateful for Doug’s guidance. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer who truly understands dogs and more importantly their people!
Ten months ago, our senior dog was joined by two incredibly rambunctious puppies, all three are Old English Sheepdogs. Very quickly, our visions of puppy playtime and cuddles were dashed when our sweet little babies turned into the cutest Tasmanian devils you have ever seen. Non-stop energy, they mobbed us whenever and wherever we walked around our home and while they were never mean or aggressive, puppies pulling on clothes and jumping on us, got exhausting. We quit entertaining in our home because we were concerned about how the puppies would act around guests. This was a concern that only grew as our little puppies also grew into very large puppies.
Desperate, we started our search for a dog trainer but were frustrated that so many trainers in Las Vegas train by taking your pups out of the home, which is not something we were comfortable with. Then we happened upon the DOuGTrainer website. Doug presents a different approach. We read his blogs and watched his videos. I didn't understand his method, but every one of his reviews said it worked. I called Doug - and that was the day that everything changed.
Two days later, Doug walked into our home and without saying a word or touching our dogs, he had them calmly laying on the floor, muzzle down watching him within about 8 minutes. They didn't mob him, they didn't grab his clothes, and he did it all within the first 3 steps inside the door. It was amazing to watch.
Over the next several hours, Doug trained us, not the dogs. He taught us how to listen with our eyes and talk with our actions. He was our interpreter, explaining what our pups were trying to tell us and what they needed from us. As Doug worked with us, the pups responded, they relaxed, they were completely content.
That was 3 weeks ago and thanks to Doug's patient, knowledgeable, and professional training, we've seen a huge transformation--with immediate results. As I have mentioned, what really sets Doug apart is that his training isn't just about the dogs--it's also about teaching us as owners how to effectively communicate with them. He helped us understand how to "speak" to our dogs in a way they truly understand, which made all the difference. His methods are kind, effective, and grounded in real experience. We now have calmer, more responsive dogs--and a much more peaceful home!
If you're looking for a trainer who truly understands dogs and teaches you how to be a better owner, we can't recommend DOuGTrainer enough. I truly believe he can help no matter what the circumstances. If you are experiencing challenges with your furbaby, I encourage you to give him a call, you won't be sorry.
