About Us
Welcome to DogMastery.
We are an established training facility where difficult dogs and puppies become loving, well-behaved family members. DogMastery specializes in difficult-to-handle breeds, including those with aggressive, destructive, or disruptive tendencies. Although working dogs are a big piece of DogMastery, we also train smaller breeds to behave, protect, and love their companion families.
Our goal is to develop and promote understanding between pet and owner, a relationship that thrives on respect and mutual admiration instead of fear. DogMastery enables owners to better understand and communicate with their canine family members. We take great pride in covering all aspects of the human-canine bond and our training methods aren’t strictly food, nor voice-motivated, but rather focus on whatever motivation works best for our clients and their pets. We believe that dogs are similar to people, insofar as each individual dog holds a unique personality.
Owner, Marc Eric James, has been involved in all facets of teaching and training dogs since his teenage years. He apprenticed with his uncle at the training facility Pro Train, and eventually branched off to found his own company. His ideologies on behavior, drives, and temperament are highly regarded in the field of dog training. For over three decades, Mr. James has developed and implemented programs for law enforcement, home and family protection, Schutzhund (IGP), training schools, and obedience and behavioral programs at county shelters.

Success Stories
“I was very fortunate to hire Eric, Solano County had shouldered me with what many believed was an insurmountable task. At the time, the Shelter was beyond capacity with 75% of the animals being working breeds and dog related incidents involving bites resulting in injury were at an all-time high in Solano County. To say, he was invaluable and primarily responsible for the Shelters turnaround is an understatement”.

"We happened upon Eric by chance, through a mutual friend that he was coaching in IGP. We were ecstatic to learn that his background was in sentry, personal protection and law enforcement dogs. Our K-9 department was on death’s doorstep, we had no real agitator, or individual with experience. Our program still thrives today, due to his work in 1999”.
