Testimonials

Thank you so much for all your help with Dross! You helped us shape him from a puppy to a well behaved two year old dog. He consistently follows commands and directions that you taught him. You had such patience with Dross and with us. We appreciate all the time you took and the questions you answered even when our class time was over. You never rushed us out or made us feel like we could not ask any “dumb” questions.
Dross loved coming to class every week and so did we. We were very lucky to have you as Dross’ trainer. We will definitely recommend you to our friends with “wild” dogs.
Thanks Again!
– Jayson and Katrina G.

There is no doubt in our minds that Eric is Max’s “guardian angel.”
Max, our 7 year old Chocolate Lab, had been growing more unpredictable around strangers for the last 4 years… After the 2 weeks, we returned for reintegration and met Eric in person… We were immediately blown away by their relationship… Max knows his boundaries and gets along with other people AND dogs now. Max, like us, adores Eric and we know respects him too.
– Tony & Dina T.

Eric is literally the best trainer I have ever met, hands down… Within a very short period of time, I would begin to see changes, along with the very same crazy dog walking perfectly by his side… I have maintained the passion that Eric blessed me with, and my boxer is still just perfect.
– Jerad
