Testimonials

“Our puppies have learned so much from you all and continue to learn with the training tools you provide. No more counter surfing for Nala with the tools you provided, one day was all it took and no more counter surfing, no more jumping on people when they come over. We have and will continue to recommend you to everyone we know. You guys are amazing and we will be back soon for off leash training. Remy and Nala thank you and so do we.”
– Rob & Grace Sousa

“As a first time dog owner I was nervous on how to handle my dog (he was going to be big). We started with Eric’s puppy classes and immediately noticed a difference. No more jumping, chewing, or bad puppy behaviors. It also helped me gain confidence in myself and knowing that training takes consistent time, commitment, and repetition. We continued to work on training and when he was older we started off leash training. I can now confidently take my dog anywhere and let him off leash, knowing he will always come back. Eric’s classes are informative, and give you tools to help your dog be the best, most confident version they can be!”
– Sarah Flynn

“I was at my wits end with our dog. He was resource guarding terrible and was getting worse by the month. Several family members had been bit with the skin broken. I knew different. … First private lesson- the resource guarding was addressed and stopped. SERIOUSLY! … He walks beautiful on his leash with zero reactivity to other dogs. Just amazing! I cannot express our satisfaction. Eric allowed me to take control back.”
– Allison Plourde
