    Gusty was able in 2 hours to train my wife and I to transform our dog Roger into a so much better behave dog after just one session. We will to continue use the training techniques daily to make Roger even a better dog and companion. We look forward to our next training session to continue learn more exercises that we can pass on to Roger. So yes, we would highly recommend Gutsy for in home dog training.

    I can't express enough gratitude for the phenomenal work done by Amanda. After years of struggling with my 7-year-old doodle's reactivity, I had almost given up hope on the possibility of her being able to walk by another dog without lunging, barking, and/or growling. Prior to reaching out to Amanda, I had spent years working with other trainers and put my dog through numerous training programs, all of which showed minimal, short-term improvements at best and never addressed the root cause of her behavioral issues. When Amanda came to my home it was clear that she is extremely passionate about her work and genuinely cares about helping dogs along with their owners. I immediately felt like I could trust her and it was obvious that she has a deep understanding of dog behavior and psychology. Amanda is the only trainer that has been able to significantly reduce my dog’s reactivity and this change has been long-lasting. I no longer worry about taking her for walks in crowded parks around lots of other dogs, which is something I never thought would be possible. If you're struggling with your furry friend's behavior, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Amanda. Trust me; you won't regret it. I am eternally grateful for her expertise, kindness, and the life-changing impact she's had on me and my dog.

    I'm honestly not sure why It's taken this long for me to write a review for Adam. Adam is a gentle giant and sooo good with pups! I've had 2 dogs y train with him and they've both really loved Adam. Adam is so knowledgeable about different problem areas (one of my dogs was reactive on leash and the other had separation anxiety). He knew how to work through both problems and is always quick to respond to my texts. Admittedly, I panic quite easily and always text Adam when I'm freaking out about my dog's behavior - he always calms me down and is very patient with me which I'm so grateful for. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone who is having issues with their pup - you'll leave with a great trainer and a great friend :)

    Photo of Murphy Brandon has been very helpful and wonderful to work with! He has provided me with a lot of great support in how to improve my dog's separation anxiety, timid behavior, walking, potty training, and much more. He is extremely knowledgeable and has great communication in between sessions for questions or concerns. I highly recommend using Brandon and his team for training! I have seen great progress in a short amount of time and am excited for the new skills we will be working on together!

    I couldn’t be more thankful with Karen and Marc. They came out to our home and taught us everything we did not know about dogs and showed us how to properly correct our Honey without being physical with her. Since before they came out, we already knew what to expect because they are very good at sending you valuable information before your lesson. So by the time they come out to you, you already know more about dogs than you ever did.

    Our dog responded great to their techniques and I’m very happy to know they will be there to help us throughout our dog’s life!

    Again, thank you Karen and Marc. You guys are awesome!!

    Thank heavens for Marc. I was ready to give my dog to a rescue -- he was 85 pounds and was knocking people down. He was very aggressive to both strangers and other dogs. In the first lesson (yes I said first), Peter was much calmer and continues to improve. I know it's going to get better and better because Marc will help me for the life of the dog.

    Photo of Flynn and Suki I don't know where to start! Me and my husband and both our pups simply adore Kevin! He has the kindest, calmest energy, never judges us, and has helped us transform our eldest dog Flynn's behaviour. We decided to hire a new trainer when we got our second dog Suki as we knew we needed help with Flynn's separation anxiety and didn't want the issue to get worse! After seeing three previous trainers, reading every book on SA in existence and even asking the vet about medication, we were beginning to think there was no hope we'd ever get our lives back. Before hiring Kevin a few months ago Flynn couldn't handle thirty seconds alone. Our latest record? Four and a half hours!!! We still have some reactivity issues we're working through with Kevin's help, but overall Flynn is a much calmer and happier dog. Suki has also settled in beautifully and working through the training with both of them has meant that we've set up consistent and trusting relationships as dog parents. The first session was very intense and the first month or so was a lot of work but we'd do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you Kevin for all your support and encouragement! We don't know what we'd have done without you!

    Steve was a fantastic trainer that helped our mid aged dog as we saw his behavior and separation anxiety change with moving apartments. While we were worried that at age 7, it was too late, we were so wrong as Steve started with strong behavioral techniques to change the attitude of our dog and significantly reduce his stress and anxiety. Can’t say enough about the knowledge, support and coaching he provided us to get our pupper back to a happy and calm state.

    What a lifesaver Sharon and Bark Busters have been helping us with our wheaten terrier. We contacted Sharon to assist us with Webster. He had separation anxiety, crate anxiety, reactivity with other dogs, was bad on leash and more! Sharon was professional and made us feel confident in working with our pup. The improvement at home and around our home was amazing! Then after a few months we reached out to her again to get more help in public. She met us at a park and demonstrated techniques in real time with real dogs nearby. It was a real confidence booster to see my dog get it right. We learned what to practice as she coached us with her informative and kind demeanor. We were able to implement her suggestions and get results immediately. Thank you Sharon!

    Todd is a wonder to work with and very understanding. He took his time and worked on a few things with us to get us started. By the time he left we could already see a difference. Miss Butters is on her way to being a well mannered pup with the help of Todd. Because Butters is a puppy it will take us some time to work on everything but Todd has already setup his next visit and is only a text or phone call away should we need him before. I highly recommend his service. We are looking forward to the next few months working together with Todd and learning right along with Butters.
    I like that even with all the training Todd knows we still want her to be a puppy and do puppy things. That makes me feel much better with all the things we will be learning.
