My name is Mel Reichek and I own Dogpanion, a company devoted to providing a customized and personal experience to pet parents, while transforming dogs of all ages into well-behaved, well-trained family members. I hold a CPDT-KA certification from the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers. I am also an AKC certified Canine Good Citizen evaluator and a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT). My approach to training is to reinforce desired behaviors and remove rewards for undesirable behavior. My canine training methods are based on an understanding of what motivates the dog and I use positive reinforcement to achieve the desired outcomes. While your pup boards in the comfort of our home, your dog will get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and of course socialization. I will treat your pup like a member of our family.
