East Coast Academy Of Dog Training

East Coast Academy of Dog Training (ECADT) has been a trusted provider of dog training services in the Baltimore metropolitan area since 1994. With a proven track record of success spanning over 29 years, ECADT has helped thousands of happy dogs and their owners. Our all-inclusive program is designed to teach puppies, dogs, and their owners with a convenient and effective home-based approach.

Our founder, Rob Hirsch, has been using our training methods for more than 34 years, drawing on his undergraduate studies in conditioning and psychology to apply and teach the techniques that have been endorsed by current periodicals. Rob's expertise in dog training began in 1989 through an apprenticeship with a trainer and training company in New York before he moved to Baltimore in 1994. Since then, thousands of Baltimore area residents (both owners and pets) have successfully completed the ECADT training program.

Our Customized, In-Home Training Program

At ECADT, we understand that every home and dog is unique. That's why our custom, in-home training program focuses on your specific needs, taking place at your location and convenience. With our program, there's no need for choke devices or pain-we use positive reinforcement techniques that improve the relationship between you and your pet. We specialize in teaching obedience both on and off-leash, indoors, outdoors, and in public settings. Our training covers techniques and procedures to control any problem behaviors, including housebreaking.

Our Program for Dogs of All Ages

Our training program is tailored to suit dogs of any age. We have a strong focus on young puppies, as our methods are especially effective for dogs aged eight weeks and older. During our sessions, you'll learn techniques and procedures to interact with, control, and raise your puppy confidently.
