Sometimes training your dog to be obedient requires first training yourself.

Stacy Moore, the Muttman, has taken a centuries’ old method of animal obedience and honed it into something that can be applied to dogs – and their masters–everywhere.

Animal training is in Moore’s blood.

As far back as 1932, his family has been involved in the entertainment industry with animal shows. He trained his first dog, Opie, when he was six years old and has produced shows for Disneyland, Disney World, Sea World, Six Flags and Busch Gardens.
