Testimonials
“My female Cane Corso, at 5 months old, spent one week with Richard in January. Prior to training, she was impossible to walk on a leash and was stubborn about coming in the house when called. After training with Richard she was not only walking gracefully by my side on a leash, but she also now listens and follows several commands including sit, place, down and come. Richard also gave me a lot of confidence and proper training for the e-collar and prong. What Richard accomplished in one week with her was remarkable. I would absolutely recommend Richard to others who are looking for a.solid foundation for their canine. Thank you Richard!”

“I was looking for a dog trainer for 2 weeks of board and train for our puppy. I was contacted by Rich and am very happy that he did so. After an initial visit (which was free), we felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with him. Rich has a very calming demeanor and explains things very well. Our dog was very well trained for a 5 month dog. And we are quite happy with our experience. Would definitely do it again and probably will do a refresher course in the future. definitely do it again and probably will do a refresher course in the future.”
– Kevin Chen
“From our first introduction with Rich, I could see how passionate and well-informed he is, regarding dog-training. He made Willie and me quite at ease , while helping Willie get used to the pinch collar. He had him comfortable and complying, within a couple of minutes, after helping him through his initial apprehension. Rich was extremely patient and gentle, letting Willie know that he was in good hands . I immediately felt comfortable, after feeling quite anxious about leaving him with a total stranger. I was not successful, at home, getting him to get into a crate . Now , after his week with Rich, he has no problem with that and now seems to like his crate , sleeping through the night and fine with crating when I leave him for a couple of hours. I highly recommend K9 Reset to anyone who loves their pup !”
