Based on what the business publishes about itself
Tim Welch, the owner and founding trainer at Redefined Dog Training, describes himself as a 7th generation animal trainer who studied under master trainers in France, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
The business says it has been operating for over 35 years, primarily serving the Topeka and Kansas City areas in Kansas, though it also references Southern California locations including Huntington Beach. Their stated experience spans an unusually wide range of disciplines: standard obedience, Schutzhund, personal protection, ring sport, tracking, search and rescue work, military and police dog training, and service dog preparation.
Their training philosophy, as described on their site, combines positive reinforcement with what they call "tough love", firm, consistent discipline so puppies learn boundaries early. Programs are offered through in-home sessions and private lessons, customized to each dog and handler. The business advertises a full money-back guarantee, though the specific terms aren't detailed. One note: the website appears somewhat dated, so prospective clients may want to confirm current program availability and pricing directly.
In-home puppy training covers socialization and basic obedience, while private lessons address everything from foundational commands to advanced obedience work. Redefined Dog Training also offers specialized service and emotional support dog training for owners pursuing that path.
