My name is Robert Haussmann. I am both a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT) and a professional memeber of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT). I am passionate about the well being and proper care of domestic dogs. It is my belief that most people mean well in their dog training. However, many lack the invaluable education and experience needed to deter serious behavioral problems. I have worked for over three years as a dog trainer using humane reward based methods to achieve appropriate behavior from pet dogs. I teach dogs and their owners how to work together as a team. I am based in Brooklyn and have trained dogs and their loving owners all around the Tri-state area. I will come to your home and work with you and your dog in your environment.

" Your demonstration in our home of "positive training" did wonders for our family! The negative "corrective" training we had been taught by our obedience class when Sunny was a puppy did not help; sometimes it seemed to make her behavior worse. Since your visit, we have been amazed to observe how eager Sunny is to learn and how cooperative she is when given positive reinforcement. She has also calmed down a lot and has become a pleasure to live with. "

" We decided to work with Robert because he offered a practical, structured approach to training Bacon, our 7-month old pit-bull mix. He taught us how we communicate with Bacon using our bodies and our voices, arming us with an awareness of how our behavior influences Bacon. Within a week of our first session with Robert, we saw improvements in Bacon's behaviors where we
were having problems: play-biting, jumping and obeying simple commands.
Robert is clearly passionate about his work and provided us with advice specific to our situation. "

" My wife and I started working with Robert Hausmann when our dog, Bandit was just 12 weeks old. Robert gave us the confidence and skills to build the obedience that we wanted to develop with Bandit. What especially appealed to us was that Robert's focus on training is to accentuate the good behaviors, crowding out the bad. Robert has the flexibility, education and experience to meet the challenges of each dog's unique personality. We are now starting Bandit's formal retrieving skills! "
