Adrian Rhines
BS | Applied Behavioral Science
Certified Canine Training & Behavioral Specialist
​
Adrian Rhines believes effective dog training is about more than simply “knowing dogs”—it’s about understanding the science behind why they behave the way they do. While many trainers rely on guesswork or outdated training theories, Adrian’s methods are built on a solid foundation of Applied Behavioral Science. He holds a Bachelor of Science in the field, giving him the ability to analyze the root causes behind behaviors such as aggression, anxiety, and severe reactivity—not just suppress the symptoms.
​
The dog featured in the Dynamic Good Dog logo is the one that started it all. After ten years of military service, Adrian returned home and adopted a stubborn, high-energy shelter puppy that challenged everything he thought he knew about communication. That experience forced him to look past traditional "commands" and dive into the deeper mechanics of behavior, turning a personal challenge into a professional mission to find a better way to communicate with dogs.
​
Adrian has no interest in the “macho” style of dog training. While his military background shaped his sense of discipline and accountability, his academic training defines his approach to behavior. At Dynamic Good Dog, the goal is never to “break” a dog. Instead, Adrian focuses on clear, consistent communication that helps dogs understand what is expected of them while building trust and stability.
​
Adrian also completed the intensive Professional Dog Trainer & Behavior Specialist program at Starmark Academy, a state-licensed vocational school in Texas, one of the most demanding professional dog training programs in the country. Combined with thousands of hours of hands-on experience working with dogs of every temperament, this training gives him both the scientific knowledge and practical skill needed to solve difficult behavioral problems.
​
Adrian specializes in the cases many trainers avoid. From severe reactivity to dangerous aggression, he works with complex behavioral issues that go far beyond basic obedience. By combining behavioral science with real-world experience, he helps owners regain control, rebuild trust with their dogs, and create safer environments for both families and communities. Whether he is rehabilitating a high-risk aggression case or helping a family get their new puppy started on the right foot, Adrian applies the same practical precision and common-sense care to every dog he handles.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​
Nearly every member of our team came to us as a rescue or surrender, each with their own challenges and history. Today, they play an important role in helping other dogs learn how to succeed.

If You’re Here Because Your Dog’s Behavior Is No Longer Manageable​
​If you’re reading this, your current situation with your dog has likely become unsustainable.
​
-
Maybe your dog has started reacting aggressively or uncontrollably on walks.
-
Maybe you can no longer safely have guests in your home.
-
Maybe you’ve tried other training programs and the results didn’t last.
​
You’re not alone—and your dog is not a lost cause.
​
At Dynamic Good Dog, we specialize in identifying the root causes behind difficult behaviors. We replace guesswork with clear, structured plans designed for long-term safety and success.
​
​
Proactive Training for New Beginnings
We also believe the best way to handle a crisis is to prevent one. Whether you are starting with a new puppy or a recent rescue, we apply the same structured approach to building a foundation of neutrality, focus, and clear communication from day one.
​
Getting it right the first time is the most effective way to ensure a lifetime of stability.
​
​
The first step is a consultation where we evaluate your dog, your environment, and your goals. From there, we create a practical training path designed specifically for your household.
​
When you’re ready to regain control, we’re here to help.
