Derek employs positive reinforcement training techniques and offers mobile services, allowing dogs to learn in familiar settings. This approach is designed to ease the transition for both pets and their new owners.

Additionally, prospective adopters from the Webster Animal Shelter are eligible for one free hour of private training with Derek upon adoption. Shelter staff emphasized that this support can greatly benefit families adjusting to life with a new dog.

“Having that extra support when bringing a new dog home can make a real difference for everyone involved,” said a representative from the shelter.

The Webster Animal Shelter appreciates Derek's dedication and expertise and looks forward to continuing this partnership. The initiative aims to not only facilitate the adoption process but also to equip dogs and their new families with essential resources for a successful future together.
