Welcome to Proper Pups!

My name is Greg, and I have been a dedicated dog owner for the majority of my life. I always believed I was a fairly skilled trainer, but everything changed when we welcomed our latest dog, Cleo, a rescue Doberman into our home.

We adopted Cleo when she was just six months, thinking that training another dog after having worked with German Shepherds would be a breeze. Little did I know, Cleo was a whole new level, she was incredibly reactive and fearful of nearly everything around her; she had never been out at night, seen cars or had any positive interactions with other dogs.

I immersed myself in the dog training world, learning from various trainers, attending seminars and completing courses.

This journey was both challenging and enlightening, and it inspired me to share my knowledge with others. Today, Cleo has transformed into a confident and happy dog who enjoys her life off-leash and even plays the role of a "stooge dog," helping others overcome their own training challenges.

I invite you to join me as we work to create fulfilling lives for our beloved dogs!
