Unlock Your Potential with Joe: Renowned Dog Training Expert, Educator, and Mentor

With over 25 years of hands-on experience in dog training, I am here to help aspiring and new dog trainers like you turn your passion into a thriving, successful career. As the founder of Western States K-9 College, I’ve dedicated my life to empowering trainers to master the art and science of dog training while building businesses they love.

My journey started in the 1980s, when formal certifications were rare, and my expertise was forged through mentorships with leading trainers, behaviorists, and veterinarians. Over the years, I’ve trained more than 10,000 dogs across nearly every breed and discipline—herding, agility, rally, scent work, and even police and personal protection dogs. From shaping obedience to resolving complex behavioral challenges, I’ve helped countless dogs and their owners lead better, more harmonious lives.

Beyond the dogs, I’ve built a six-figure dog training business from the ground up, earning a stellar reputation that continues to drive my success today through word-of-mouth referrals. I know exactly what it takes to build a business that balances passion, profitability, and freedom—and now, I’m offering to help you do the same.

My influence spans the globe, working with clients in the United States, the United Kingdom, Costa Rica, and beyond. What truly sets me apart is my unwavering belief that no dog—or person—is beyond the reach of effective training. With a unique combination of expertise, empathy, and a deep understanding of canine behavior, I’ve mentored trainers from all walks of life to achieve their goals, whether they’re just starting or looking to take their skills to the next level.

As an AKC-certified evaluator in multiple programs (Canine Good Citizen, S.T.A.R. Puppy, Community Canine, Urban CGC, and temperament testing), I bring not just certifications but also real-world experience that can guide you to success. I also specialize in mentoring trainers to build confidence, solve real-world challenges, and create a life that reflects their dreams.

Now, it’s your turn. Whether you’re an aspiring dog trainer, a new trainer seeking guidance, or someone ready to elevate their business, I’m here to help you unlock your potential. Let’s work together to create a clear path toward your dog training and financial goals.
