Louise Belmont: I started training dogs when I first wanted a puppy. The deal was if I could train the family dog to be more well mannered then I could get my own. I had no idea what I was in for! Manzo came a drooling, shaking mess of fear and anxiety. I soon realized I had my hands full and had to learn more about behavior modification in order to help Manzo succeed. I took every class and learned all I could to help Manzo feel more confident about his surroundings. Fast forward 11 years and here we are, sharing my passion of dog training and strengthening dog-human relationships, with all of you!
Jake Belmont: I have always been around dogs. Growing up always having a pup around made it the logical choice for me to start working with dogs professionally. By constantly being around a number of dogs I quickly realized how fascinating and unique each dog was. I went on to start my own pet sitting and dog walking business. Through this work I met a little dog named Roxie who needed more guidance than a walk here or there. It is with Roxie that I decided to learn more about behavior and training to better help the dogs in my care.

At Red Pointy Dog Training we provide training and behavior services to families. We meet with the family to identify concerns, evaluate the dog as a whole, and set realistic goals together. We create a customized plan for the individual dog and we help you along the way. Our training style is practical, positive, and fun!
Behavioral issue focus:
Our team works with dogs struggling with fear, frustration, anxiety, over stimulation, and more. Common issues we consult on include General Fear, Aggression, Reactivity, Resource Guarding, Intrahousehold Aggression, and more.
Dog training methods:
When we meet with a client we start with a virtual interview to allow us to evaluate your individual situation without putting extra stress or excitement on your dog. We discuss more than just training in this session, we help you learn to understand why your dog's behavior is happening in the first place. From there, we build a training plan using force-free and humane training methods following the Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) framework. We continue with work families, on zoom or in the home depending on the needs of the dog, to form a stronger connection with their dog based on trust and understanding.
Why I became a dog trainer:
To help dogs to be the best versions of themselves, and to help their guardians learn to understand them deeply.
My favorite part of being a dog trainer:
Our favorite part about being a dog trainer is when we reach that point in training where we realize that the dog's family no longer needs us. That they have met their goals and have strong communication and listening skills with their dog. They have the tools necessary to be the best guardian to their dog. The whole family is happier with a deeper understanding, a deeper knowing, of what the dog and family need together.
My #1 dog training tip:
To remember that a dog is a dog. We need to set realistic and fair expectations when living with them.
