Like most trainers Greg Needham grew up with a great love for dogs. Greg began rescuing and finding homes for stray dogs at an early age, something that he still does to this day. He has always had a soft spot in his heart for a dog in need.

At the age of 12 he was severely attacked by Chow/German Shepherd while out playing. His love for dogs then developed into an extreme fear. However his love of dogs was still there and he worked to over come this fear. His past history of a dog attack serves an important role in his understanding of how violent a dog attack can be, and how it feels for owners and kids to love but yet be afraid of their dog at the same time.

Greg has come full circle and now and specializes in dealing with aggressive dogs, he firmly believes that every dog should have a chance at a happy and balanced life. Greg Needham’s training experience comes from his years of training and working with different dogs he has rescued on his own as well as working with various trainers who specialize in different areas of training. The trainers that he has worked with have dramatically different styles of training, from purely positive treat training to the old method of the “crank and yank“ methods. He has used this experience to develop his own unique style of training that finds the common ground between both sides instead of only using one method of training.

By being trained himself using different approaches this enables Greg to truly find what methods and techniques are needed for each dog. Greg takes a different approach to each and every dog he trains by finding out just what motivates the dog and uses that motivation throughout the training process in order to achieve the goals of each training program.
