Ian Geller

Ian Geller's career in dog training didn't start in the classrooms of academia, but rather in the emotionally charged and challenging environment of dog rescue. Raised in a family that held a deep appreciation for animals, Ian's childhood was always surrounded by the joy and companionship of dogs. His profound connection with these animals was further cemented through his transformative experience with Charlie, a rescue dog once considered aggressive and beyond help. Through immense patience and understanding, Ian retrained Charlie, turning a once fearful dog into a loving, stable companion. This experience was a turning point for Ian, emphasizing that dog training is less about command and control and more about empathy, understanding, and connecting on a deep emotional level. Ian’s approach, often regarded as unconventional, relies on compassion and empathy. He advocates for positive reinforcement, a deep understanding of canine psychology, and a focus on addressing the root causes of behavioral issues such as aggression and reactivity. For anyone dealing with a reactive or aggressive dog, or simply looking to deepen their relationship with their pet through better training and understanding, Ian Geller stands as a guide and companion on this journey. His approach offers hope and a promise that with the right mindset and techniques, every dog can achieve peace and companionship.
