Lead the Pack

At Uncle Teddy’s, I don’t just manage behaviors or hand out cookie-cutter routines I build complete alignment between handler and hound. To me, we are all family, and I love training every dog like my own niece or nephew with genuine care, patience, and structure.
​This mission started from personal survival. After retiring from the Marine Corps, I faced serious battles off the battlefield carrying 245 pounds, navigating service complications, and surviving a life-threatening pulmonary embolism. My turnaround began the day I entered a veteran program to train my own service dog. Working on the leash restored my health, joy, and purpose. My dogs didn't just keep me accountable; they saved my life.
​Realizing the bond between human resilience and canine drive, I turned passion into a profession. I completed the professional dog trainer coursework at Kennelwood Academy, paired it with college studies in behavioral psychology and biology, and earned my NASM personal trainer certification. The high-level obedience and connection people only see on social media became my daily reality. and now, I make it yours.
​My Blueprint of Excellence merges Marine Corps discipline, canine psychology, and human performance coaching. I bring calm authority and personal accountability to your home, decoding your dog’s natural drives to resolve behavioral issues at the root rather than masking symptoms. Through fitness principles, I coach you on body language and physical presence because your dog reads your composure, intent, and energy before you speak a command. When you lead with clarity and strength, your dog naturally falls into line.
​I bridge the gap between canine mechanics and handler performance. I don’t sell quick fixes; I deliver custom blueprints that turn chaos into structure, weakness into functional strength, and frustration into mutual trust. Whether fixing reactive behavior or building bulletproof obedience, I transform teams. Welcome to the pack.
