Helping You Build a Better Life With Your Dog
Personalized training, practical guidance, and a stronger connection with your dog.
Ron
Founder, Building Better Dogs
Three Decades of Experience. Practical Guidance for Today.
Ron’s work with dogs began more than three decades ago, long before Building Better Dogs. Over the years, he has trained his own dogs, helped owners and club members work through training challenges, and mentored others in handling, communication, and technique.
His background spans conformation, protection events, weight pulling, hunting environments, obedience, behavior, and everyday family life. Ron also established the East Coast American Bulldog Alliance. These experiences shaped his understanding of dogs and the importance of clear communication, timing, consistency, and owner education.
Today, Ron brings that experience to personalized training for dogs and their families. Through positive reinforcement, hands-on coaching, and support between sessions, he helps owners build skills they can use in everyday life.
Tell me about your dog and your goals. I’ll review your application and recommend the right program.
Personalized Training
A plan built around your dog’s needs, your home, and your goals.

Support Between Sessions
Training plans, resources, and homework feedback through your Client Training Portal.
Experience Across Canine Disciplines
Ron established the East Coast American Bulldog Alliance, an American Bulldog club whose members participated in dog shows, protection tournaments, weight pulls, and wild boar hunting. Working with dogs in different settings helped shape his practical view of training: communication must be clear, skills must work outside a classroom, and the person handling the dog must understand how and why the training works.
Mentoring & Education
Over the years, Ron has helped dog owners and other trainers improve communication, handling, and training technique. Building Better Dogs continues that same teaching-focused approach today by coaching both ends of the leash.
Building Better Dogs Today
Today, I offer personalized in-home training in Mobile and Baldwin Counties. I work hands-on with you and your dog, then extend that support through the Building Better Dogs Client Training Portal, where you can review lessons, submit video homework, and receive feedback between sessions. I adjust training based on your dog's progress.
Dog Fancy Magazine — 2006
In 2006, Ron was interviewed for Dog Fancy Magazine about subjects including canine behavior, socialization, and responsible, ethical breeding. That history is part of more than three decades of involvement with dogs and the people who care about them.
