Testimonials

Mr. Walker is amazing. We have a high energy mixed breed that we were struggling to train with other “big box” trainers (seriously I thought my dog was smarter then those trainers) and then we found Mr. Walker. He worked with me and my kids and my dogs’ direct needs and we went from the puppy being totally afraid of men to tolerating Mr Walker by the end of 6 weeks! And the best part is this foundational training has come in handy with my kiddo using our dog for 4H – we look forward to taking the advanced class when our schedule allow!

As a fellow trainer, I have shared training ideas with George, and we have both attended each others’ classes. I can 100% endorse George as an effective trainer and dog man. By that I mean he has an instinctive ability to understand a dog’s motivations – it’s a rare trait that makes him stand out above the rest. Go see George, you won’t regret it!

We’ve attended two beginning/basic obedience classes with Walkers k9 services and are so pleased with George’s approach. We have two one year old lab/pitt mixes that were in need of training such as loose leash walking, and basic commands. We’ve passed both classes and are looking forward to advanced. This is great for socialization around other dogs and people which is also a perk in this class.
