“We absolutely love Auburn and his team. He helped us so much with our rowdy and stubborn lab a few years ago, who has grown to be a nearly perfect gentleman. Auburn has now taken on the task of training our new rescue puppy, who is extremely timid and reactive. He’s helped her build confidence and be more at ease in social situations. Auburn always drives to Charlottesville to pick up and drop off the pups to us, which is so appreciated. He is always available for last minute boarding needs too. Highly recommend his services!”

“We have used Auburn for both of our dogs and could not recommend him more. They both returned with the ability to listen and no anxiety. It was a total game changer. Highly recommend!”

“We have done several one on one sessions with Auburn for our 1 year old Cane Corso, Rocky, and each session has left us with a calmer and more obedient dog. We reached out to Auburn because Rocky had terrible leash manners and very selective listening. Having a guardian breed comes with immense responsibility so we needed to get Rocky’s behavior under control – being pulled around by a 120 lbs powerful puppy is potentially dangerous and no joke!Auburn has done an incredible job getting to know Rocky individually and tailoring our training to Rocky’s personality and needs. Rocky is a very stubborn boy and can be intimidating but Auburn accepted the challenge and exceeded our expectations. We had to try a few different methods before finding the right fit, but Auburn was patient and persistent and has done a fantastic job teaching my husband and I how to effectively communicate with our big boy. Rocky is now following our lead instead of constantly trying to take charge, he listens to commands even around distractions, and as a result is a much more relaxed and happy boy – big deal for a guardian breed!Our walks have become so much more enjoyable and we no longer have to repeat commands multiple times to get the desired behavior. As Rocky continues to grow we will keep working with Auburn as needed to fine tune any behavioral issues that might pop up as we go through adolescence and the teenage phase. I couldn’t be happier with the progress we’ve made and feel confident knowing we have Auburn as a resource if any challenges arise as Rocky matures into adulthood.Selecting a trainer wasn’t something we took lightly considering Rocky’s breed. We couldn’t work with just your average trainer, we needed someone with the knowledge and confidence to handle difficult and powerful dogs. We are more than satisfied with the results Auburn has given us and I’d absolutely recommend his services to anyone looking for help with behavioral issues!”
