Testimonials

“Roman teaches things what will impact Generations to come. For example an over worried mom picking up kid when Dog approaches will probably make kid cry and also make kid learn to be scared of dogs.His approach teaches us to train mentally healthy dogs and a lot of training prior gone wrong maybe because a chain of events caused by our own reactivity not the dogs.I’m glad I met this man as a teacher.”
– Victoria Yunker

“I cannot say enough positive things about working with Roman. I have an emotionally challenging dog, and we were specifically dealing with intense separation anxiety. He couldn’t be left alone at all without being distressed and it was completely disrupting my life. It got to the point where I was strongly considering re-homing him. To anyone who’s felt they’ve reached a breaking point with their dog, I want the following comments bring you hope. Please know that putting in the effort to address your dog’s behavior is extremely worthwhile for all involved.By working with Roman I was given the tools and strategies needed to day-by-day work our way up to time spent alone. It took a lot of time, practice, and patience. Consistency was key to seeing success. I’m extremely pleased with how my dog has progressed and feel comfortable leaving him alone for extended periods of time.I also can’t help but mention, the useful points of reflection Roman offered to me as a dog owner that improved my relationship with my dog which in-turn helped the behavior. He also lended a listening ear on days when I needed it most. By working with him, I’ve realized that our dogs need us just as much as we need our dogs.All in all, Roman’s expertise and approach is commendable. I am so happy I have and am continuing to workwith Roman and would highly recommend his services.”

“Roman is amazing. I did not believe in online dog training until l had a lesson with Roman. My dog has car whining problem since he was a puppy. He fixed it in just a lesson. My dog’s whining gives everybody headache and makes my anxiety worse. Today, when I drove to work and came back to the house, no more whining when I used his method. My pup and I were smiling in the car, we’ve never been that relaxed before. He’s now looking forward to getting on the car. Roman is so gifted, I thank you God to find him. At first, I thought his prices are high but after fixing the issue just in a lesson, it’s actually cheaper and faster than the other trainers / behaviorists. I’m looking forward to having him to fix his leash pulling when my pup is high energy. I’m waiting for another miracle to happen. I’m regret I did not know him before & would hire him to train him for everything.”

About the Trainer

Roman’s Holistic Dog Training, LLC, led by Roman Gottfried, is a certified dog trainer and trauma-informed holistic behavior consultant. The business offers comprehensive dog training and behavior healing services, focusing on a “Do No Harm” philosophy and the LIFE (Least Intrusive, Functionally Effective) training framework.

Their approach integrates canine-anthropology, ethology, and multidisciplinary behavior healing, including attachment theory and energy healing, to understand dogs from their point of view. Services are designed to meet dogs and their families where they are, whether building trust with a new puppy or addressing complex behavioral challenges.

Roman applies his journey as a complex trauma survivor to his approach, recognizing that dogs can help humans heal and that canine behavior can reflect human experiences. The goal is to foster a deeper, more empathetic, and understanding relationship between dogs and their owners, creating a harmonious living environment for both.

The business also features an online shop with various dog care and nutritional products, including books, immune boosters, crates, bowls, playpens, homeopathic medicines, poop bags, and shampoos, available for purchase through Amazon links.
