It’s simple - Matt is strong but couldn’t handle BUTTERS!

Matt rescued Butters, but this strong pup quickly became more than he could handle. Pulling, overpowering him, and creating more challenges left Matt frustrated.

Ian S Forbus to the RESCUE

With 30+ years of experience, Ian came into Matt’s home, worked with Butters, and—most importantly—taught Matt how to successfully lead his dog.

We train families for real life, in the environment where the problems actually happen.

Your dog may be challenging—but don’t lower your standards. Get the experience, guidance, and results you deserve.

For over 10 years, we spent countless hours in this building—serving clients, training dogs, and supporting our community.

Today, we’re still doing the same work. The difference? We come to you.

We believe dogs should be trained where the behaviors actually happen—in your home, with your family, and in your real-life routines.

Not every trainer teaches you how to handle situations when they happen. And not every trainer will be honest about the results you can realistically expect.

At The Dog Pros, we believe in honesty, consistency, confidence, and more than 30 years of experience. Every dog and every family is different, and our goal is to give you the tools and training you can actually use.

If you’re ready for experienced, honest, in-home dog training, call or text Ian S Forbus 704-877-3853

The Dog Pros — real dogs, real homes, real-life results.

What a wonderful furry companion! I specialize in training all dogs, using clear structure, consistency, and trust-building communication tailored specifically to their needs.

My approach helps clients and their dogs develop reliable visual communication, improved safety, greater confidence, and a stronger bond built on understanding rather than sound.

I truly enjoy working with my clients and helping every dog reach their full potential.

When this sweet DEAF DOG came to The Dog Pros, daily walks were frustrating, communication was difficult, and life felt overwhelming for the family.

30 yrs of behavior modification experience has taught ME one thing: the challenge isn’t what a dog can’t hear—it’s finding the right way to teach them.

Today, this dog walks calmly on a loose leash, understands hand signals, has better manners, and enjoys a happier, more peaceful life with the family who loves them.

Good behavior isn’t about limitations. It’s about communication, trust, and knowing how to reach the dog in front of you.

Every dog deserves that chance.

Ian is here for anyone who wants to build a stronger, more meaningful relationship with their dog.

Together, we’ll create better communication, build trust, and develop practical skills that fit your everyday life. Because training isn’t just about teaching commands—it’s about creating a partnership that lasts a lifetime.

The best part? I come to you, where real life happens and real progress is made.

Behavioral issues often have multiple causes, and a stressful or traumatic event can bring underlying emotional challenges to the surface. If you’re noticing changes in your dog’s behavior, The Dog Pros can help identify the root cause, assess the situation, and create a personalized behavior modification and training plan tailored to your dog and your family’s needs.

The Dog Pros provide personalized in-home training, allowing us to work with your dog where real-life behaviors happen.
