Over the past 30+ years, I have trained hundreds of dogs and their owners. What I have learned is that there are no absolutes when it comes to training. That's because every dog is different as are their humans. I have a variety of ways to teach dogs to do just about anything. My goals are two-fold: First, I find out what the family is looking to accomplish with their dog(s). Second, I train the dog(s) first, then the owners. I show the owners how to do what I just taught their dog(s).This way they can follow up and reinforce the training until our next session. I’m a positive motivational trainer and practice the less-is-best approach.I specialize in integrating new dogs into the family and starting puppies and their parents off on the right paw! I am well versed in the art of classical conditioning, behavior modification, problem solving, aggression, and overall house manners.

Force Free DC launched in the fall of 2023. Our team met while working together at Patrick’s Pet Care in Washington, DC. Over the years — and especially through the Covid-19 pandemic — our training business and our clients’ needs really grew. FFDC founder Joseph Ryan quickly realized that a company dedicated to using positive reinforcement methods for dog training and behavior modification could help a lot of people and pups in the DMV Metropolitan region.

We know that dog ownership is great, but it can also be frustrating for owners who have doggy problems. They are often embarrassed by a lunging barking dog, overwhelmed by a needy puppy or frustrated with a young dog who runs off and jumps up at strangers. On a more serious note, many people find themselves getting really upset because their rescue dog appears distressed, and they don’t know how to make him or her happy. They can be upset and often mortified if their dog barks and lunges at other dogs and many people feel trapped if their dog has separation anxiety and cannot be left alone.As we live and work in London, we see a diverse range of clients and dogs. The dogs we work with vary from tiny little Teacup Chihuahuas to enormous Great Danes and owners vary just as much. No two jobs are ever the same and the only common factor is the owner wants help with their dog. If you want help we have the qualifications in dog training and behaviour to give you peace of mind and the experience to deliver a programme to help you and your dog.

We utilize respected learning theory that supports both human and canine learners! Our Canine Educators understand how people & dogs learn. We understand that different dogs have different needs and varied motivation. We know that some clients are new to the joy of learning with their dog, and others are seasoned dog enthusiasts who are seeking to add to their extensive knowledge base. Classes and private lessons are designed to be fun AND cognitively stimulating for everyone. We provide plenty of time for demonstration, practice and discussion. We vary our teaching activities to include games and problem-solving procedures. We focus on teaching humans and their canine family members how to effectively communicate with one another, and the results are happy people and dogs. We provide learning opportunities for puppies, elder dogs, and all ages in between. Dogs who are shy, fearful and reactive have multiple classes and private lesson options. Agility, nose games and adventure field trips are also available. In partnership with Project Canine, we also offer therapy dog preparation classes, testing and certification opportunities. Mutiple CPDT KA instructors are on our teaching staff. We also offer a Canine Educator Preparation Program for our staff to learn how to be effective and caring instructors dedicated to creating a wonderful learning environment for all.

Frequently asked questions about dog training
How much does dog training cost?
Dog training costs vary by type and location. Group classes typically run $50–$200 for a multi-week session. Private sessions range from $50–$150 per hour. Board and train programs can cost $500–$2,500+ per week depending on the trainer and length of program.
What dog training methods are most effective?
Positive reinforcement is widely considered the most effective and humane dog training method. It rewards desired behaviors rather than punishing unwanted ones. Look for trainers certified by organizations like CCPDT, IAABC, or Karen Pryor Academy.
How long does dog training take?
Basic obedience typically takes 4–8 weeks of consistent training. Behavior modification for issues like aggression or separation anxiety may take 3–6 months. Every dog learns at their own pace — consistency and practice between sessions are key.
What certifications should a dog trainer have?
Look for trainers certified by CCPDT (Certified Professional Dog Trainer), IAABC (International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants), or the Karen Pryor Academy. These certifications require demonstrated knowledge and adherence to humane training standards.
