I'm Bailey, a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA) based in Indianapolis, IN specializing in fear-free, positive reinforcement training for dogs with anxiety, reactivity, and behavior challenges. My approach is different because I: Start With Deep UnderstandingI take time to thoroughly assess your dog's unique history and personality. What works for one dog may not work for another. Cookie-cutter training plans don't address complex behavior challenges. I need to understand your dog specifically before we can create real change. Design Practical, Sustainable SolutionsWith an engineering background, I approach behavior challenges systematically by analyzing the root cause, designing solutions that fit your real life (not some ideal scenario), and adjusting as we go to ensure lasting results. Your plan needs to work on your busiest days, not just your best ones. Build From the Inside OutTraining isn't just about obedience. It's about helping your dog feel safer, more confident, and genuinely happy. When we change how your dog feels about other dogs, strangers, or stressful situations, we create the foundation for meaningful, lasting behavior change. Partner With You ThroughoutYou know your dog best. I work with you as a collaborative partner. Together we'll identify what's realistic for your household, what you're comfortable with, and what success looks like for your family - then build a plan that honors all of that.

Gia's dog training provides professional dog training services such as board and train, in-home training, private, and group courses. We understand how busy the American family is and we provide custom training plans that benefit the whole family. We treat every dog as if it were our own. A great asset to the family.

Bradley Phifer Dog Training offers a genuinely personalized experience for you and your dog. With a low dog-to-trainer ratio and a calm, welcoming environment, our trainers take the time to understand each dog as an individual and build a program around them. With over 25 years of professional experience, Bradley's team brings expertise across every stage of a dog's life, from puppies to adult dogs, including those working through behavior challenges. Our trainers hold the field's most professional credentials: CPDT-KA, CPDT-KSA, and CBCC-KA, and work across two facilities: Seven Acres, our live-work boarding and training property in Fairland, Indiana, and Bark Tutor School for Dogs in Indianapolis. Whether you're raising a new puppy, polishing manners, or navigating a complex behavior problem, we have the experience, the credentials, and the right setting to help. Programs include: Day Training: We work with your dog during the day. Then you join us for a lesson at pickup to learn what we've been working on. Board & Train: Immersive training in a real home environment. Then you join us for a lesson at pickup to learn what we've been working on. Private Lessons: One-on-one training for you and your dog together.

We educate our clients on dog care for best practices to prevent potential behavior and health problems. Having a clear understanding of canine behavior can help you know the difference between normal behavior at inconvenient or inappropriate times and abnormal behavior.

I have been working with Best Friends Pet Care since I finished my schooling as an obedience trainer. This will be my third year in the field as a trainer and hope to continue working as a trainer in the years to come.

Animalia I offer in-home behavior consultations and private dog training. I also offer reward-based group classes (Puppy, Basic, Advanced as well as Canine Good Citizen certification) in Irvington.

I have always had an affinity for animals of all kinds, hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology, and have worked as a Veterinary Technician, but that was not enough. Then I found ABC, and they gave me the knowledge and skill I needed to become a Certified Dog Trainer. The program is very informative, the screening process so thorough, and reflects their deep commitment for the animals they serve. I offer private in-home lessons in Basic Obedience, Puppy Manners, and Problem Solving (to include Aggression issues) using the Positive Reinforcement Techniques of Clicker Training.
