Mar 6 Episode 008: Training Your Dog w/ Vladae the Russian Dog Wizard

For this episode, we brought in a special guest that has worked for years with many of our clients' pets: Vladae Roytapel aka The Russian Dog Wizard. Vladae originally started his career in dog training in the former Soviet Union; he was a Red Army and Soviet Union Government awarded trainer before relocating to Michigan here in the USA. Since that time, the decoration of Vladae as a world-renowned professional dog trainer has continued. He won multiple awards during his time in Michigan, including honors from the state government. During his time in the midwest, Vladae became very popular through multiple news programs, radio shows and even appearances on CNN and Late Night with David Letterman.

Vladae is now located in Southern California's Orange County. He has been named the #1 ranked Best Pet Trainer for the OC Hot List awards in 2014 and 2016. Vladae offers affordable dog training classes of many varieties. His extremely effective dog training techniques are based on his stunning ability to communicate directly with your dog during training and then teaching you (the human) the same techniques.

You can listen to us talk about the top 3 reasons that pet owners struggle with their dogs. Vladae discusses some of the techniques that he uses with his clients that have been amazing people for well over a decade now; many times with immediate same-day results.

You can find Vladae online by either simply googling "Russian Dog Wizard" or by checking out his website at www.socaldogtraining.com.

Timothy Wheaton

A part of the APCC team since September of 2013 as the Office Manager and Media Manager. His career previously had been steeped in the Title Insurance Industry for over a decade. He has managed staffs in multiple industries, locally and overseas. His marketing and social media skills were learned as he manages his own photography business. He created APCC’s Pet Talk Podcast as he developed a podcast of his own called Daddy Unscripted.

There is no coincidence in the shared last name. Tim is Dr. Wheaton's younger brother and has been around APCC and the staff since its inception. Life has come full-circle in that way, as Tim and his brother used to spend nearly every day during summers in their youth at their Dad's veterinary practice in Corona Del Mar. Dr. Wheaton was always the son destined to follow in their father's footsteps, while Tim was always the more creative-minded one of the two.

Tim and his wife have two kids of their own and two furry children (Rusty & Audrey), sibling cats adopted from The Pet Rescue Center in 2011.

Tim has been keeping you up to date with APCC happenings via social media – Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat & now officially via Podcast – with pictures, pet health tips, travel tips and ways to keep your fur-babies happy and healthy.
