Hi, I’m Eric Roberts.
Forged Canine Academy was built on the belief that dog training should be thoughtful, ethical, and grounded in real world application. This is not about quick fixes or shortcuts. It is about creating calm, reliable dogs and confident owners through work that is done with purpose, consistency, and care.
My Approach
My approach to dog training is built on clarity, structure, and respect for the dog in front of me. I believe effective training should be science informed, fear free, and grounded in real world application rather than quick fixes or rigid systems.
I focus on clear communication and consistency, helping dogs understand what is expected while teaching owners how to guide behavior with confidence. Training is never one size fits all. Every dog, household, and set of goals is different, and I tailor each plan to meet those specific needs.
What sets my work apart is balance. I combine modern training principles with practical, everyday scenarios so dogs are not just responsive during sessions, but calm, reliable, and adaptable in real life. Owners are active participants throughout the process, gaining the skills and understanding needed to maintain progress long after training is complete.
Success is not measured by obedience alone. It is defined by confidence, trust, and the strength of the relationship between dog and owner.
Simple Training
Effective training does not need to be complicated. At Forged Canine Academy, simplicity means clarity. Clear expectations, clear communication, and repeatable steps that owners can realistically apply in daily life.
By focusing on foundational skills and straightforward techniques, training becomes easier to understand, easier to practice, and easier to maintain. This approach reduces frustration for both dogs and owners while creating a learning environment built on trust and consistency rather than confusion or pressure.
Simple training is not minimal effort. It is intentional, well structured, and designed to work outside of a controlled training session.
Lasting impact
The goal of training should extend far beyond the final session. Forged Canine Academy focuses on building skills that last and habits that hold up over time.
Through thoughtful instruction and practical application, dogs learn how to succeed in real environments, and owners gain the confidence to maintain progress long after training concludes. This results in fewer setbacks, stronger relationships, and dogs that remain calm, reliable, and adaptable as life changes.
Lasting impact means training that supports the dog, the owner, and the household for years to come rather than temporary results that fade once sessions end
