About Exceptional Canines In-Home Dog Training

Hi, I’m Ingo, owner of Exceptional Canines In-Home Dog Training. I help puppies, adopted dogs, and dogs with behavior issues like leash reactivity, anxiety, and impulse control. My training is customized to your dog , because your dog is unique, and because cookie-cutter training usually falls apart the second the doorbell rings. With 30+ years of experience as a professional trainer, AKC CGC Evaluator, and certified dog behavior advisor, I bring calm structure, practical tools, and real-world solutions that actually hold up at home. Better behavior. Less chaos. More peace. Fewer “why is he doing that?” moments.

Ingo came to us and helped us when we needed it most. We had our beautiful puppy, but we didn't know how to train him properly. Ingo's house visits allowed him to see our Ollie in his home environment and devise strategies tailored to our situation. He's very personable and seeks to understand who we are as dog parents. He doesn't just want to know what the problems are, but also why/how they developed. We can say with confidence that our little angel Ollie wouldn't be the doggy he is today without the assistance of Ingo, and we would recommend him to any friends and family who asked.

Ingo's session with Tucker, our 6 month old Aussie Doodle, was incredible! Within minutes, Tucker learned to respect space/boundaries and follow commands. We discovered the importance of our relationship with Tucker and how to communicate effectively. In just 90 minutes, Tucker's behavior improved dramatically. Excited to see him grow into the well-behaved dog we know he can be! Ingo has given me what I need to feel confident in how to grow. I can see the passion and professionalism Ingo displays and trust me it’s Effective! I still have more sessions to go but had to let you know the progress and excitement I’ve gotten from just one session!

I am a first time dog owner of a 8 week old puppy and didnt know what to do after reaching out to another trainer who was no help. Ingo responded quickly and was out to my house in a few days. With running a home based business and a FT job, I needed strategies to help me build structure quickly. Our first visit I learned how to set up a "living structure" for my Benson, how to potty train him, create a routine that worked for my busy lifestyle. In a few short weeks my 10 week old puppy was predominantly pottying outside and used inside grass pads if I couldn't get off a zoom meeting, by 12 weeks we started commands and using Ingo's training my Benson picked up on them in a few days. Each session has helped me tremendously and built my confidence. Now at 18 weeks, we are cruising right along with each stage. I love how from the very beginning I was listened to, supported, educated, encouraged and have access to a wealth of knowledge that I can leverage every step if the way. I would highly recommend Exceptional Canines to anyone wanting exceptional dog training service!

My family and I adopted a dog from a rescue and were at our wit's end with trying to house train her. We hired Ingo and I am so happy we did. He gave us a detailed protocol to follow and it worked. It didn't take long at all for our little dog to catch on. Now we say a command word and she snaps to attention and does her business outside!

Ingo was fantastic with our puppy Zeus from before he even stepped in our door. Within 5 minutes, I was watching my dog actively learn and behave in the ways that we’ve been dreaming of over the last several months. The lesson was easy and straightforward- I had been nervous that we wouldn’t be able to replicate the trainer’s advice, at least not at first, but already my dog is calmer and listening to me and my roommate more intently. Ingo is our personal dog whisperer! Can’t wait for our next session!
