Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

Hi, my name is Robert Varney. My passion for dog training started when I was young and I knew one day I would have a career involving animals. When I graduated in 1992 wanted to work in law enforcement and the K-9 unit seemed like the perfect opportunity to do what I loved. Within six months, I was promoted to K-9 Handler and graduated top of my class with the Department of Corrections. In 2007, I was looking for an opportunity to further my dog training abilitics and was hired by Dog Training in Your Home, Columbia. With this company, I felt I could not only become a better dog trainer, but also help people and dogs in need. It has been the best move I ever made.
With this company, I am able to meet the needs of clients where their problems are: in their homes. Since I was hired, I have helped thousands of dogs and owners work together to become a cohesive family. I have helped with dog aggression, shy dogs, and housebreaking problems to help a dog keep its home. It is such a rewarding experience when my clients and their dogs get along, and the clients enjoy having their dogs around.
We are experienced dog trainers that will turn a "bad dog" into a well behaved, well- mannered dog with our in home dog training courses. We can provide many services ranging from housebreaking, to dog obedience training, to tricks. Our company trains many breeds including (but not limited to) Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and German Shepherds; as well as all the toy breeds like Yorkshire Terriers, Maltese, Poodles, and Dachshunds. I look forward to helping you with your dog training needs.
