I strongly recommend Dick Messenger as a dog trainer.  I called on Dick when I became the parent for my ex-Roommates anxious and somewhat neurotic 7-year-old dog.  From the get go, Dick taught me how to interact with Josie in a way that clearly demonstrated that I was the alpha, which helped to decrease her anxiety, her attention getting behaviors, and her restlessness.    Dick was patient, thorough, and thoughtful in our training sessions and he provided clear written instructions which made practicing with Josie easy.   I recently had family visiting and they remarked that since I took Josie on and did training with Dick, she is a completely different dog.   Dick was responsive to my questions via email between training sessions, and made sure to clarify any issues that I had quickly and effectively.   I have already recommended Dick to several of my friends and family.   I can't thank him enough for helping to improve both my and Josie's quality of life.
