Bill Glatzel, MS, BA, CMDT, CRCS, APDT, CPAC, Military Veteran - U.S. Army

President, Founder & CEO of TLC K9 ACADEMY and creator of the "Gentle Touch™" Method of Dog Training

Bill was born and raised with wolves, or so we think, either that or he must have canine DNA in his blood! He has a passion for dog behavior. "K9 Guru," "Amazing," a "Magician," the "Real" Dog Whisperer, Dog whispering, these are just some of the words dog owners have used to describe the magic, ease, and rapport, when seeing Bill connect with animals. One person accused Bill of using some form of "Hypnosis," to put a dog into a trance. The amazing connection Bill has with animals can look magical, and his ability to tap into the minds and behavior of dogs and puppies seems at times to be hypnotic. Whatever the magic, Bill has been "Dancing with Dogs," since 1976, for over 33 years. He has frequently been called in as a consultant when other notable trainers like Ceaser Millan, the dog whisperer have not had success. "We get a couple of Ceaser's clients each year. We provide the best most comprehensive dog training and puppy training anywhere. We take dog training to a whole new level!" There is a science and an art to training a dog, or training puppies.

At the young age of 10, Bill was competing, showing and titling dogs in AKC Dog Obedience Matches. Bill's Formal education rests in both Undergraduate and Graduate Work in Psychology and other Behavior Science Disciplines. He has also worked as a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist, counseling Children, Families and Adults. Bill is 1 of Only 2 Applied Animal Behaviorists in the entire State of Arizona. In order to be an Applied Animal Behaviorist one has had to do graduate Level (Masters) or (Doctorate) Clinical/Applied Research and Field Training. Not just a Master Dog Trainer, but also a Behavioral Scientist specializing in Behavioral Medicine in Small Animals, Bill Glatzel and the TLC K9 Method of Dog training have turned the dog training profession upside-down. "Traditional leash and collar training uses correction and punishment to force a dog into compliance, says Glatzel; this is unfortunate because dogs love to please their human partners when the relationship is right. The TLC K9 Method of Dog Training uses the principles of Operant and Classical Conditioning and the latest advances in canine learning theory to combine both the Science and Art of teaching dogs and the human partners. "Treat training has one very big limitation; dogs won't perform when the distraction is more interesting than the treat. In our training program we don't use treats; we don't use force, correction or punishment. All TLC K9 Academy dogs learn to be extremely reliable and listen off-leash under the heaviest of distractions. No dog is properly trained until it can behave off-leash with intense distractions. That is what you get with TLC K9 dog training and puppy training." "If you need a leash to control your dog, your dog is not trained. You, the other animal holding the leash are trained to RESTRAIN your dog …NOT THE DOG!

"Our dog training and puppy training methods are Force-Free, Gentle, Fun, and Guaranteed for the Life of your Dog!" We employ positive reinforcement dog training, clicker training at times, and other dog training equipment may be used. A World Renowned Dog Trainer and Professional Animal and Dog Behaviorist, Lecturer, Author, Celebrity Dog Trainer, and media/legal consultant, Bill enjoys dealing with dogs deemed "untrainable." "One thing Bill Glatzel is most proud of is how many dogs we have saved at TLC K9 Academy from Euthanasia. We have never had to tell a client to euthanize their dog. When other dog trainers tell owners to "put down" their dog or a Veterinarian says there is no hope, We Offer a Solution…We offer Hope. Bill Glatzel Specializes in the most difficult of Dog Behavior Problems, Extreme Dog Aggression and Severe Anxiety disorders in dogs, ritualistic and obsessive compulsive dog problems. He is an Expert in Canine Behavioral Medicine- a passion of his since his son was mauled by a neighbors Pit Bull. "We offered free dog training tips to our Neighbor…they never took us up on it. My son's attack and dog bites could have been prevented…that Pit Bull did not have to die, (The owners euthanized their dog)" It is this attitude, that all dogs deserve dog training and his unmatched success with truly the most difficult of dog problems that gave TLC K9 Academy their Phoenix Dog Training catch phrase: "We can train ANY dog!" - Even yours!

Bill enjoys the company and working with his pack of 5 dogs, "Chip", a male Chocolate Labrador Retriever, "Hershey", a female Chocolate Labrador Retriever, "Nera", a female Belgian Malinois, "Lil'Dude," a male Jack Russell Terrier, and "Hogan," a male Queensland Heeler, (his third foster child,) who had dog aggression issues towards children and adults. Bill currently is the Director of Phoenix Dog Training and lead Animal Behaviorist in Phoenix, Arizona for TLC K9 Academy.
