Max Collignon & Lauren George – Head Trainers

Max and Lauren are lifelong animal lovers. Before starting their careers in professional dog training and canine behavior consulting, Lauren was a graphic and web designer, and Max was a research biologist holding an MS and PhD in ecology and behavior. Both spent over a decade dog-sitting as a side gig.

While raising their first dog, MJ, Lauren, and Max learned the importance of building a solid foundation of trust. MJ had fear-based aggression, but they worked through it and trained him for off-leash recall, scent detection, and tracking (just for fun!). Thanks to MJ, they discovered a shared passion for dog training and canine behavior.

LIMA

Buffalo Niagara Dog Training believes in humane training practices, our approach to training aligns with the LIMA philosophy: Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive.

Real-World

Our Buffalo dog trainers promote private, in-home training, but that doesn’t mean every lesson will be in your backyard. As your dog or puppy progresses through their training program, they’ll need real-world experience so they listen as well in distracting situations as they do at home.

Reward-Based

Whether you use treats or praise, our dog trainers will present plenty of opportunities for positive reinforcement to train your dog successfully. 

Puppies

Buffalo Niagara Dog Training will start your puppy’s behavior on the right paw. Our private puppy training program helps puppies 7 weeks and older learn boundaries, basic obedience, socialization, barking, housebreaking, leash behavior, and more.

Aggressive Dogs

Our trainers don’t shy away from challenging behaviors, including aggression. Behind every aggressive behavior is a trigger, whether it’s fear, anxiety, or miscommunication. We help you identify the why and mitigate undesirable behavior.

Separation Anxiety

It’s difficult to leave your pup when you know doing so will cause stress. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Build your dog’s confidence with private lessons for separation anxiety. 

Expert Dog Behavior Modification  

Buffalo Niagara Dog Training is here for your training needs. Our trainers want to help you communicate better with your pet, no matter their age, breed, or temperament. We’ll develop a training program designed for your dog’s unique needs as well as your family’s schedule and lifestyle, encompassing anything from basic obedience to aggressive dog training.

Our commitment-based training philosophy ensures your trainer’s dedication to your dog’s training goals from day one with no extra charges or hidden fees.

Customized, Private Training

Private dog training is a lot like private tutoring. You could take your dog to learn in a group setting or send them to a boarding school, but one-on-one in-home training works to your dog’s individual strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps most importantly, we also teach you how to help your dog practice and maintain their training progress.
