Daniel Isaacsohn of Jenkintown founded MuttHaviorist Dog Training & Canine Rehabilitation a little over three years ago to help dogs (and their humans) with issues ranging from potty training to aggression.

With more than 15-plus years of experience helping dogs, Daniel is certified as a Canine Behaviorist (CBCC-KA) and a Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) through the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers.

“These certifications are through the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers, the industry’s gold standard, which allow me to work with any dog no matter what is going on. There’s nothing I haven’t done with dogs in terms of helping. Working with all dogs, no matter the breed or size, is what I love to do. Literally, there’s no issue I don’t work with,” he said. “I’m very hands-on and help people where they are.”

All of MuttHaviorist’s dog training and rehabilitation services take place in the home of the client (and other relevant places) to ensure all issues can be addressed properly. This is done to ensure pet parents can make sure the solutions presented can used in home and out of the home, depending on the issue.

Daniel got his start in dog training because of Magellan, an Saymoed mix he adopted who had many issues. This is where his fascination with canine behavior reached new heights and his learning started to take place (You can actually read the whole story on his site). He then began volunteering at a shelter in Boston, which led to continuing to volunteer while training dogs and cutting his teeth at PetSmart. This was the start the journey of becoming a certified canine professional in both obedience training and behavior issues.

“After a short while, it became clear that I found what I was supposed to be doing with my life,” his website says. “I chose the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers to pursue my certification to work with dogs.”

He became certified as a Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed in October 2017 and Certified Behavior Consultant Canine – Knowledge Assessed in May 2021. He worked at ACCT (Animal Care & Control Team) the inner-city Philadelphia shelter as a canine behaviorist and held the same position at a veterinary hospital is Phoenixville before founding MuttHaviorist Dog Training & Canine Rehabilitation in 2021.

While serving greater Glenside and beyond, Daniel has accrued nearly fifteen thousand hours of training dogs in a myriad of different environments dealing with any issue a pup could have.

“Training is positive reinforcement based and looks to create long lasting relationships between people and their dogs, as well as dealing with the issues that are presented. I love what I do and feel so fortunate I am able to help so many with 2 and 4 legs alike. All I want to do is help dogs and their owners live better lives,” he said.

One of the best parts of MuttHaviorist dog training & canine rehabilitation is price and being able to see dogs in a reasonable amount of time. To see a veterinary behaviorist, the wait is usually around six months and costs thousands of dollars.

“My waitlist is much shorter, roughly a couple weeks, along with the fact that pricing is reasonable for anyone that has a dog.” he said.
