Duane Newton, is a Certified Dog Trainer and Behavior Specialist. He graduated from the respected Starmark Academy in Hutto, TX. After graduation he was a head trainer at a boarding/daycare facility in Schertz, TX. He also worked with Operation Battle Buddies that provides training for veterans and their service dogs.

I am a balanced trainer which means I use positive and negative reinforcements – heavy on the positive side with food. I believe the negative reinforcement is necessary to help the dog understand what is not correct or allowed.

Duane is an evaluator for Foundation for Service Dog Support Inc. (FSDS), the American Kennel Club (AKC) and a member of Association for Professional Dog Trainers (APDT).
