Basic & Advanced Obedience • Puppy Development • Behavior Modification • Bite Work

Justin Fant

Family & Pet Dog Trainer · 6 years

Justin Fant is a family and pet dog trainer who learned the craft apprenticing under OJ Knighten, eventually becoming his head trainer during the final years of OJ's career. That foundation shapes Justin's work today: clear obedience, real-world manners, and a balanced approach that meets each dog where it is.

Justin specializes in basic and advanced obedience, puppy development, behavior modification, and bite work. His personal goal is to guide every pet dog he trains toward a Canine Good Citizen title — proof that a dog can be calm, confident, and well-mannered in everyday life. His own rescue, Max, is the example he uses most often: a reactive rescue dog who became a steady personal and demo dog through patience, trust, and consistent work.

German Shepherd

Max is Justin's rescue dog. He arrived reactive and unsure, but through patience and trust he learned to be comfortable around people and other dogs. Today he is Justin's personal dog and demo dog, helping clients who are working through similar reactivity challenges.
