Board-Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist and Professional Dog Trainer Aaron Teixeira, M.S., ACAAB has years of experience training puppies, adult dogs, and dogs with a range of problematic behaviors. Aaron's training methods are derived from years of animal behavior research and hands-on experience with top organizations like UC Berkeley, Cambridge, and the San Francisco SPCA, where Aaron's established himself as a respected teacher of both dogs, and their humans.


Aaron had the pleasure of working with Inventor, Entertainer, and Professional Youtuber Simone Giertz, and her dog, Scraps
