Dog Behavior Training

My name is Nate Liebermann and I solve dog problems.

These are some of the challenges I help dogs and their owners overcome every day:

  • Dogs that pull on the leash during walks

  • Excessive barking at home or outdoors

  • Potty training challenges with puppies or rescues

  • Biting, nipping, and mouthing

  • Dogs that won’t come when called

  • Separation anxiety and stress-related behaviors

  • Jumping on people, guests, or furniture

With the benefit of thirteen years of professional experience and education, I work intensively with you and your dog to solve your dog behavior problems.

Testimonials

“So thankful that I found Nate. He is an incredible trainer. We have been working together for a few months and my dog Rio has transformed over that time. So many of the challenges that we were dealing with before starting with Nate are now total non-issues.”

— Julian, Mar Vista

“Nate worked with our mini golden doodle and did wonders for her. She went from being hectic and not listening , pulling on leash and jumping on strangers to a well behaved dog and even off leash dog. Highly recommend anyone looking for a great trainer and Nate also a really nice guy.”

— Taylor, Marina del Rey

“We worked with a bunch of different trainers and tried a lot of different classes. Nobody was able to help much with our dogs anxiety much except Nate. He has a deep understanding of trauma in dogs and what it takes to build healthy and solid relationship with them. I also love that Nate cares more about the dogs happiness than anything else. Five stars!”

— Eve, Santa Monica
