What handlers are saying
Rated 5 stars by dog owners.
Ethan Bognar
He is very respectful and has helped me teach my dog a lot. She has learned four new commands in just a week. I was a little worried since it was virtual but it went great, he even demonstrated using his own dog so it was easy to see what to do.
Milo Bonebrake
I loved training with Serafim Dog Training. From our first evaluation phone call to going over everything, I felt constantly supported. He met me where I was, and he was truly great with my dog. I would recommend him to anyone.
Rebecca Reese
Arthur has trained a couple of my dogs! He is fantastic. Super good with the dogs and patient with me. I am so impressed with how well my dogs behave now, and how happy they are. You can not go wrong working with him.
Brayden Nelson
Arthur helped me work with my Belgian Malinois, a very reactive and aggressive rescue. My dog wasn't properly socialized and desperately needed proper training before cementing bad habits. The progress has been incredible.
Shelly Vincent
I used a couple of trainers for my puppy and was reluctant to do it virtually, but the guidance Serafim has given me has been great. My dog is developing quickly with the behaviors we want. I will continue to use him.
Jaz Martinez
The transformation in my dog Bullet has been incredible, but what impressed me most was that the training wasn't just for my dog, it was for me as an owner too. He taught me how to communicate effectively with my dog, understand his behavior, and build a relationship based on trust. If you want a trainer who invests in both the dog and the owner, this is the person to call.

Weekly Live Q&As
Show up live every week. Bring your dog, your video, your questions. You're getting answers from me directly — not a moderator, not a chatbot.

Arthur Serafim
My approach starts with the relationship. Most of what owners struggle with does not come from missing commands. It comes from a dog who is overwhelmed, disconnected, or never taught how to be neutral in the world.
I focus on the behavioral and ethological side of your dog, building real engagement and a bond you can actually rely on. I teach the handler, not just the dog, so the results hold long after the session ends.

Questions
Before you join.
What if I'm a complete beginner?+
That is exactly who the foundation tracks are built for. You start at day one and move at your own pace, with me available every week to answer your questions directly.
How is this different from your 1-on-1 programs?+
My 1-on-1 programs are hands-on and done with you directly. The Academy gives you the same method and structure at your own pace, plus weekly live access to me, for a fraction of the cost.
How much time does it take each week?+
As much or as little as you want. Short daily reps beat long occasional sessions. The curriculum is built so you can train in the pockets of time you already have.
Can I really cancel anytime?+
Yes. No contracts and no hoops. You can cancel in a couple of clicks whenever you want.
Will this work for my breed or my dog's problem?+
The method is built on how dogs actually learn, so it applies across breeds and across problems, from reactivity to neutrality to off-leash reliability.
