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 out to my home today for an evaluation, and to begin training my golden doodle Lizzie, who I just adopted. It was truly amazing to see how anxious and worried Lizzie was when Ingo first came in the house and how she did a lot of barking. By the time he was ready to leave, Lizzie was nuzzling up to him and requesting affection, even when all the treats were gone. I learned so many things today and will practice daily to improve my ability to be the best mom I can be for Lizzie. Ingo was kind and knowledgeable, and willing to answer all my questions. I am a first time dog mother and I’m not a spring chicken so Ingo was able to teach this old dog some new tricks!

Ingo is a master, guys. Lots of no-nonsense, behavioral-based modifications that have already helped us take better control of our household. We have three rambunctious, territorial pups and there are lots of bad dynamics there. Luckily, we feel like we’re headed down the right path. One consult with Exceptional Canines was enough to show us results. Can’t wait to see what the entire program brings!

Ingo was a fantastic starting point for my Fiance and myself. We really enjoyed his time with our dog Opi. He had a wealth of knowledge and his preparedness was noteworthy. He understood the breeds (Australian shepherd) needs along with useful toys and food samples to provide examples on how we can help keep him engaged and build his confidence in new situations. Incredibly thankful for his time and his accountability. Thank you Ingo! 5/5 would highly recommend his services.

My fiancé and I really enjoyed Ingo’s time and knowledge. We sat with him for 2 hours and we were already seeing patterns being changed in our Aussie named Opi. Ingo provided so much info and helpful homework for us to work on. We are very happy to start implementing these new actions to create structure for our Opi. Definitely recommend!

Ingo is great!! The energy he brought to the initial visit was perfect in keeping our Cinnamon engaged. After using a few of the techniques he taught us, we have already seen results. I look forward to having Ingo over for more sessions and would encourage others use his services.
