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.

Our Cockapoo barks at everything and we hired Ingo for that reason. During his 1 1/2 hour visit he advised us to be more calm with AbbE and if we were calm she would learn to be calm. Its been about 10 days and we already see the difference in her personality! She is barking much less, doesn't startle as easily and we are all very happy with her progress so far. I would recommend Exceptional Canines to anyone with a dog that is having many different issues..

Bentley was not properly socialized as a puppy. Ingo is working with us to get rid of his dog on dog aggression. After one session Bentley now sits on command. We are looking forward to more sessions to have a well adjusted and non aggressive Bentley. If you have a dog or dogs that need help,call Ingo.!

After a few lessons from Exceptional Canines (Ingo) Tucker learned through our training lessons to be more confident and obedient. He no longer bites me and is becoming a much more balanced and confident dog. It’s a big relief to have a dog that is no longer exhibiting aggressive behavior towards me in our home. Thanks to Ingo and Exceptional Canines. We bought Tucker 3 .5 years ago and had no issues with him until one night he bit me. Over the next 2 years, he bit me 17 times, even drawing blood. We were desperate then discovered Exceptional Canines in home trading website, which we contacted and arraigned for an in home evaluation with Ingo. He watched Tuckers behavior and then offered a plan that my wife and I could work with. Tucker has stopped being aggressive with me and also showed us how smart and obedient he can really be. Tucker was a fear biter and we are educating him to be more confident and therefore happier in our house. Thanks to Ingo and Exceptional Canines in home Training.

Dozer is a 9 year old pit mix who's always had confidence issues. We met with ingo only once so far and it's made such a difference already! He's already listening better and it's obvious we are on the road to changing his life for the better. Thank you ingo!!

My 3 year old has developed jealousy and aggression issues. She has attacked my other older smaller dog. Ingo came for our first session and the results were very pleasing both for me and the 2 dogs! Their behavior the very next day was already calmer and the 3 yr old was not acting as insecure as she had been. We are practicing daily what Ingo showed us and with all the information given and the tips learned, I know my dogs will be happier and so will I. I was so impressed with Ingo and how he handled it all! Can't wait for our next session!
