Testimonials
“We turned to Robert when we felt like we were out of options for our fearful and anxious Pit/Lab mix. Robert has been a miracle worker. From the start it felt like he understood us as well as our dog. Now Edwin is confident on walks, even when other dogs bark at him as we walk by. He even stays fairly composed when new people come to our front door instead of barking his head off in fear/excitement. We are forever grateful to Robert!”
– Edwin’s humans (Wes + Briar)
“Jacklyn is amazing – in just a few sessions she helped us deal with barking issues, our dog jumping up when greeting people, and he went from a pain to walk, to a pleasure – he no longer pulls us down the street! She patiently answered all our first time dog parenting questions, and is a pleasure to work with. We are looking forward to starting on more advanced training now that our dog has the basics down.”
– Leo’s human (Michael)
“After bringing Samson home we wanted to get things off on the right foot (paw) and begin training early. With Samson being a larger breed dog we wanted to learn how he could be the best version of himself for our family and friends. Robert helped us work with Samson in various real life situations. He is super patient with us as new doggy parents and always has a strategy and reason on why/how we are practicing a behavior correction method. Needless to say, Samson and Robert developed a bromance from day 1! And we are so happy to have met him too!”
– Samson’s humans (Gigi + Curry)
