Meet Ollie: Your Certified Behavior Coach & Dog Advocate
Ollie moved north from California to Washington for a very specific reason: his husky/shepherd mix, Dante. After transforming Dante—once an "untrainable" dog at the shelter—into a thriving, happy companion, Ollie realized his calling. Today, he’s dedicated to helping owners bridge the communication gap with their dogs, proving that with the right methods, every dog can reach their full potential.
Certified Expertise
A 2015 graduate of the Animal Behavior College in Santa Clarita, Ollie specializes in foundational obedience and complex behavioral modification.
A Heart for Rescue
During his time with the Fresno Humane Society, Ollie worked with over 300 dogs, providing the essential training needed to help them find their forever homes.
He currently volunteers as a trainer for the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County.
Proven Results
Ollie has partnered with over 150 private clients, helping owners and their "good dogs" build lifelong bonds through positive reinforcement.
The Ollie-Oop Philosophy
100% Positive Reinforcement
I use high-value rewards (not force or fear) to motivate your dog and make training fun.
Force-Free, Fear-Free
No shock, prong, or choke collars. Ever.
I prioritize your dog's safety and emotional health.
Sustainable Results
I focus on the root causes behind your dog’s behavior and give you the tools to overcome hurdles for the rest of their life.
My Mission, Grown From Love
Ollie-Oop Mobile Dog Training was started in honor of Dante, my faithful Husky-mix companion of almost 15 years. When I met him, Dante was labeled a "demon dog" at a kill shelter due to his destructive tendencies and tendency to run away. But when I looked at him, I knew he had potential. Through consistent, positive training and truly understanding his needs, that “demon dog” my perfectly behaved training companion. Even more than that, he became my best friend. He passed away just before his fifteenth birthday in May 2025, surrounded by everyone who loved him.
Dante's transformative experience is the foundation of every plan I build.
Environment-Based Training
As a mobile service, I bring the training right to you. I focus on understanding the context around your dog’s behavior and tailoring my program to your unique situation. This ensures that you will be able to help your dog behave appropriately in potentially stressful situations. I don't want to just train your dog to follow commands, I want to coach you to become your dog's advocate and most trusted leader.

![Odie the dog]()
“Oliver was amazing with Odie. Started training when he was 3.5 months old. His approach with Odie was amazing and the things he was able to teach such a young puppy was unbelievable. I don't know many other young puppies that can "read". Would definitely be my first suggestion to anyone with a new dog that wants to get the basic obedience down and learn some fun tricks. He definitely knows what he is doing and cares about the dogs. It was nice to work with someone who loves what they are doing.”

"Oliver is a great teacher! He became favorite person for my dog soon. Oliver works with basic training and individual character of each dog and teach us how to correct behavior. All my family present on his training and we all feel confident in training. Many questions was covered on each session. I am glad that we take this lessons. I believe each pet owner should take it. We learn how to train our dog + tricks and lifehacks, explanation of some training equipment, even got some as a present. We had lessons in our house and outdoor. Oliver open-minded, experienced and kind person. Always had answers on our questions. I am glad that we take classes with Oliver."

![Bailey The Dog]()
My husband Eric and I hired Ollie-Oop Mobile Dog Training, and honestly it was one of the best things we’ve done for our dog. Oliver worked with our dog Bailey (he’s a 100-pound pit/lab mix), and we saw a difference way faster than we expected. But what really impressed us was that Oliver didn’t just work with Bailey, he spent a lot of time teaching us how to handle situations, understand Bailey’s behavior, and keep the training going ourselves. That made everything stick instead of feeling like a quick fix. Before training, we dealt with leash pulling, jumping, and Bailey not always listening. Now walks are actually enjoyable, he’s calmer in the house, and he responds so much better overall. Oliver is super patient, easy to talk to, and clearly knows what he’s doing. The in-home training was especially helpful because we worked on real life situations instead of just commands in a class setting. If you’re looking for an in-home mobile dog trainer who uses positive reinforcement and actually gets results, we can’t recommend Oliver enough. Totally worth it.
Eric, April D. & Bailey
