In-Home Behavior Modification That Gets to the Root Cause
I help families solve aggression, anxiety, reactivity, leash pulling, jumping, barking, separation anxiety, and other behavior problems by working with you in your home—where those behaviors actually happen.
Every session is customized to your dog, your family, and the behavior challenges you're experiencing—because lasting change starts with understanding why they're happening.

Personalized In-Home Dog Training And Behavior Modification in Whitestown, Indiana
I work one-on-one with Whitestown families in their own homes, where I can see the behavior as it actually happens and show you exactly what to do. Every session is based on your dog, your family, and the problems you're dealing with.

What Happens During Your In-Home Session
I come to your home and work directly with you and your dog. I'll watch what's happening, explain why it's happening, and show you what to change. You'll practice it with me there so you understand exactly what to do after I leave.
Why Whitestown Dog Owners Choose Indiana Dog Whisperer
I’m Vernon Taylor — The Indiana Dog Whisperer.
I’ve spent over 40 years working with dogs and their families. My approach is different from traditional dog training because I’m not interested in simply teaching commands. I want to understand why the behavior is happening and help you change it.
I work with you personally from beginning to end. I don’t hand you off to another trainer, and I don’t require weeks or months of scheduled sessions.
My goal is to give you the knowledge and confidence to continue the work after I leave.
