Private Obedience Training for Reliable, Well-Mannered Dogs
Heart of Dixie Dog Training provides structured, private obedience training for dog owners who want clear communication, consistent behavior, and better everyday control.
​
Training focuses on foundational obedience, leash skills, household rules, and owner handling. This service is designed for dogs without significant behavioral or emotional issues.

I am not currently offering behavior modification, aggression rehabilitation, reactivity training, or anxiety cases.

Ken Lebowitz is a professional dog trainer specializing in private obedience training focused on structure, reliability, and owner handling. He currently works with obedience-only cases and is not accepting behavior modification or emotional behavior cases at this time. Availability is intentionally limited.
