About the Trainer

“It is up to us dog owners to take the time to get educated and make the effort to spend quality time getting to know our dog companions through practice and patience and persistence. Our knowledge, experience and time developing a personal relationship with our dogs, through training, will build the trust that is needed for success. With a step-by-step approach, people can learn simple, positive, safe methods to communicate with their dogs in a way in which dogs understand.” Mr. BOB STAPLES

Bob Staples, President, Bob’s Pet Stop Inc.

I’m a personal trainer and a dog lover who is very passionate about helping people with their adult dogs, puppies, rescues, adopted dogs. As a trained professional with over 40 years of full-time experience in the dog training industry, my goal is to teach dog owners what is best for you and your dog. I’ve worked with thousands of people over the years from young families to senior citizens, handicapped and clients with special needs with aggressive dogs who need a second chance. People want to have a sense of control over their dogs and enjoy the pleasure of having a well-behaved dog that they can love!!
