Meet The Trainer

---

Hi! 

I'm David and was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. My love for dogs started at the age of 5. Our first family pup was 'Chyna', an Akita/Chow mix. I enjoyed seeing her develop from a puppy into a fully grown adult. I continued to be around dogs throughout my life and eventually got my own as an adult; Cheddar Bay Biscuit, a Chinese Crested/Chihuahua mix and Smoked Gouda, a pit-bull, are both part of the Elevate crew! Having gone through local training courses, I knew there was so much more out there to understand and learn and I began my own research. After countless hours of research including training style and techniques and my time spent with Furever Pack Training, I began forming my own identity. I am a balanced style trainer who pairs marker training with positive and negative reinforcement when handling dogs.
