The Dog Trainer
Meet the founder of Don’t Take Your Dog For GRANTed, Grant Baxley.
Grant has spent his whole life around dogs. Growing up the son of one of the top AKC collie breeders, he has been a part of almost every aspect of the dog industry. (Dog breeding, puppy raising, showing dogs, boarding, and of course dog training).
In 2018 Grant decided to expand his dog training knowledge and attended 2 of the top dog training schools in the world! The Tom Rose School For Professional Dog Trainers is where he earned his professionals and masters certification. He also attended The Michael Ellis School For Professional Dog Trainers, where he earned his 3rd certification.
Grant spent 2 years learning his craft from some of the best in very intense programs and continues to expand his knowledge to this day. And as a trainer, he is ready to share his knowledge with eager dog owners who are ready to start their training journey!
Our Training Philosophy
All dogs are different, which means they all learn differently. There is no one size fits all dog training approach that will work for every dog and we understand that which is why we are so successful with many different personality of dogs.
From the happy confident puppy who picks up on things super fast to the scared sensitive adult dog who maybe needs a little more time, we can successfully train both in different ways. One of the biggest things we want to ensure is that, while we are training, our dog is also enjoying the training. We do this by taking our time and learning the dog in front of us. We don’t rush and we don’t push the dog further than needed at that time.
