Our Philosophy & Goals
Our philosophy is simple. Improve the life of both dog and family. All too often, unruly dogs do not fully enjoy life because their families constantly become upset and frustrated with them. This is difficult for both family and dog.
Our mission is simple. Make both dog and family happy.
What does is take to make your dog happy? He will thrive when you give him leadership and attention.
Making the family happy is a bit more complex.
Families typically want their dog to:
- Come when called, every time, on or off leash
- Walk nicely on a loose leash without pulling
- Sit until released
- Down until released
Families also want their dogs:
- Not to jump on people
- Not to charge through doors
- Not to dig in the garden
- Not to bark and chew inappropriately
- Not to climb on furniture you prefer they avoid
- Not to sniff and eat off the table and counters.
- Not to be wild and uncontrollable
- Not to ignore you when you want their attention

Marc isn't your typical dog trainer. Typically, dog trainers try to sell you specific dog training behaviors such as heel, sit, down, stay and come. Oh, you want your dog to come when off leash? You'd like your dog to stop lunging and growling at other dogs? You need your dog to stop using your home for a bathroom? You could be looking at week after week of lessons, lots of corrections or tons of food bribery.
That's why I train with my signature ForceFree Method™. We simply harness the power of Pack Drive...your dog's natural instinct to follow the Leader. That Leader can be you. 
Patrick Farrell works closely with Marc Goldberg, running their Dog Psychology Farm together. A fine touch with both dogs and people, Patrick enjoys helping our clients find harmony with their dogs. 
Nadine Onesti is our beloved Potty Camp Director. Clients all over the midwest are greatful to Nadine for showing their puppies where to "do it." Nadine is so wonderful with puppies, puppy training and house training that we call her Doctor Potty! Her television credits include Fox News.
Scott Harris was honorably discharged from the Navy where he served his country as a radar technician. Since then, Scott split his time between his job as an outdoor adventure instructor and helping friends and family with their dogs, as well as training his personal dog. During this time he formed K-9 Fence, Inc. and moved to St. Louis. His years with K-9 Fence presented many opportunities to work with excellent trainers in the St. Louis area, as well as providing the opportunity to help hundreds of pet owners every year. While in St. Louis, one of the trainers Scott had the pleasure of working with was Tom Sorrensen, who won the National Retriever Championship in 1973 and is a member of the Retriever Trainer's Hall of Fame. He served as Tom's assistant, training and caring for more than 150 dogs that were boarded at his kennel. Since then Scott has become a gifted trainer in his own right helping many Chicago area dogs and their humans.What kind of dogs do I train?
