Hi, Iām Coach Casey
For nearly 30 years, Iāve dedicated my life to understanding dogs and helping people build calmer, happier, more confident relationships with them.
Over the years, Iāve worked with more than 27,000 dog owners, trained countless breeds, built multiple successful training facilities, created a school for professional dog trainers, and now reach dog owners around the world through YouTube and the Dream Dogā¢ Coaching Club.
But hereās what Iāve learned after three decadesā¦
Dogs are rarely the hardest part.
People are.
Not because they donāt care.
Because no one ever showed them how dogs actually think, learn, and communicate.
Thatās why everything I teach today is built around coaching owners just as much as training dogs.
Where It All Began
My journey started in 1995 with MicaHaus Rottweilers.
Under the guidance of an incredible mentor, I learned responsible breeding, importing, owner handling, and what true breed stewardship looked like.
Those early years taught me lessons that still influence the way I work today.
One of my proudest dogs, Quasar Vom Haudserberg, earned Best of Breed honors and helped deepen my appreciation for preserving the qualities that make great dogs great.
Building a Career
In 2004, I graduated from National K9ās Master Dog Trainer program alongside my Rottweiler, Givin.
That experience expanded my education into advanced obedience, puppy development, scent detection, protection work, behavior modification, and many other specialties.
Over the next two decades, I built what became one of the Midwestās most recognized dog training businesses.
I opened three training facilities.
Created Puppy Preschool.
Developed my own training system.
Launched Casey Rayās School for Dog Trainers.
Appeared on numerous news channels with my Belgian Malinois, Ezra. ā¤ļø
Served as the dog training expert on Judge Joe Brown.
Worked with families from every background imaginable.
And most importantlyā¦
Helped thousands of people finally enjoy life with their dogs again.
The Biggest Lesson I Ever Learned:
For years, I thought I trained dogs.
Eventually, I realizedā¦
I coach people.
Dogs are incredibly honest.
They simply respond to the leadership, communication, consistency, and fulfillment we provide.
That realization changed everything.
It eventually became the foundation of the Dream Dogā¢ Formula and the philosophy I teach today:
Train the personality, not the breed.
Because dogs are dogs before theyāre breeds or personalities.
When Life Changed
After years of running three facilities, success came with a price.
The long hours eventually led to burnout.
When the business closed just before the pandemic, I was forced to completely rebuild my life.
Looking backā¦
It became one of the greatest gifts Iāve ever received.
It gave me the opportunity to slow down, rethink everything, and build a life that actually reflects the values I teach.
Where I Am Today
Today I live in Arizona with my wife, Shelly, and our incredible pack.
Youāll often see Legend, Phoebe Pearl, Laguna, and Koko Puff throughout my videos and educational content because theyāre part of my everyday life.
Instead of spending every hour inside training facilities, I now have the privilege of helping dog owners around the world through YouTube, online coaching, digital resources, and the Dream Dogā¢ Coaching Club.
Iām also proud to serve on the board of the National Association of Animal Energy Healing, where I contribute my experience in canine behavior while continuing to explore holistic approaches that support the overall well-being of dogs and the people who love them.
Why I Built the Dream Dogā¢ Coaching Club.
After helping more than 27,000 dog owners, I realized something.
Most people donāt need another quick tip.
They need guidance.
Encouragement.
A clear system.
And someone whoās willing to walk alongside them.
Thatās exactly why I created the Dream Dogā¢ Coaching Club.
Itās a place where dog owners stop guessing, start understanding, and finally build the relationship theyāve always wanted with their dogs.
