Private Dog Trainer for High-Profile, UHNW & Dignitary Households
Thirty years in the field, sixteen countries, and direct experience with high-profile and ultra-high-net-worth households in the United States and the Middle East, among other places — where full discretion is not an option but a requirement.
Most dog training advice assumes an ordinary household: one home, one routine, the same people every day. In a high-profile or UHNW household, almost none of that holds. Multiple properties. Staff who rotate. International travel, sometimes with the dog, sometimes without. Protection details, other animals, children with their own caregivers, a schedule that changes on short notice. A dog that doesn't reliably obey isn't just inconvenient there — it's a liability, in front of guests, staff, or press.
This is the kind of engagement I take on personally, and have for years: not a standard course of private lessons, but an extended in-residence placement, travel with the family between properties or countries, and fitting seamlessly into an existing household — its staff, its schedule, its protocols — rather than asking the household to fit around me. Thirty years across sixteen countries have taught me how to do exactly that: adapt quietly to wherever I am asked to be.
What discretion means in practice
No names, no stories, no images of a client's home, family, or security arrangements are ever used — in conversation, in my work, or online. References are available on request, within the confidentiality owed to current and former clients. A non-disclosure agreement can be signed before any engagement begins, and I work within whatever protocol the household's security or management team requires.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you sign non-disclosure agreements?
Yes. An NDA can be signed before any engagement begins, and I'm glad to work within whatever confidentiality protocol the family or its security team already has in place.
Can you travel internationally and relocate with the family?
Yes — this is often the point. Engagements have included travel between residences and countries, adapting the dog's training to each new location without losing consistency.
Will you work alongside our existing household staff?
Yes. The training holds up best when it's transferred to everyone the dog answers to — nannies, housekeepers, security, other handlers — not just the principals. I work directly with your staff so the dog's obedience doesn't depend on any one person being present.
What does an engagement like this cost?
It depends entirely on scope — a short consultation, an extended in-residence placement, or ongoing travel with the family are priced very differently. Rates are discussed privately, on request.
Have you worked with this kind of household before?
Yes, directly, in the United States and the Middle East among other places — always under the same discretion described above, which is why no further detail is given here.
