My name is Bob Santos and I'm a New Jersey Master Dog Trainer. My experience in canine behavior and dog training began in my childhood in New Jersey. My father raised Doberman and Rottweiler puppies. This began my education and understanding that each canine had specific needs which need to be addressed. It became the foundation of my philosophy for individual training. That philosophy on each dog’s inherent psychology and behavioral characteristics. It also enlightened me to the importance of training throughout every stage of canine development.
 

I took an interest in the German temperament test of Schutzhund and began training my own German Shepherds. Schutzhund training is very demanding. The dog is trained to prove it's ability to use his nose in scent tracking, willingness to follow command from and form a partnership with his/her handler and prove his/her willingness and ability to protect his/her handler.

 

Through this method of training, I have gained a vast amount of knowledge. That knowledge has assisted me in training all aspect of real-world obedience, protection, search and detection training. I have completed multiple master trainers programs focusing on various training techniques and canine behavior. I continue to search the globe for the best teachers, methods, and tools available to this industry. The most important aspect of my background is the extensive experience training all breeds from the toy group to working dogs. That experience gives me the tools for success even with the most difficult behavior issues.
