This training session really taught me what I needed to be doing better and how to effectively claim my space so that Tucker will look to me and not the other way around!

Really great session today with Emily and Tucker. Tucker has separation anxiety and Emily has been struggling and didn't know what to do. Today we created a plan and specific exercises to address this issue. She was very pleased and happy with our results and to have a plan!

Wow, what an amazing difference. I had adopted a one year old Aki-poo named Nylah who was literally out of control. I was actually worried she could not be trained. However our training session with Ben was very successful and Nylah reacted very well. We also received some really great nutritional advice and training trips. I just can’t believe how Nylah’s behavior successfully changed so drastically with their training techniques. I’m really impressed and a great investment.

We recently started working with Josh for both our dogs: a 10-year-old dog, Paisley, and a 12-year-old dog, Bailey.

Bailey struggled with aggression issues, which have worsened over time. With two young toddlers at home, this was terrifying. Paisley has had problems with anxiousness and separation anxiety. She also started having accidents inside the house, which was becoming a real issue for us.

Josh helped us meet both dogs' core needs, such as the right type of food, leadership, and interactions. He was patient and understanding, taking the time to answer all of our questions and teach us techniques to use at home. His background as a former teacher was incredibly helpful. He made concepts stick in our minds by relating them to simple, memorable classroom examples.

We were really impressed with Josh's approach to working with Bailey's aggression. He didn't use any harsh methods. He immediately helped us correct Bailey's behavior, where he kept barking and jumping up to steal our toddlers' food. Thanks to Josh's guidance, Bailey's behavior has improved significantly...instantly...almost magically.

We HIGHLY recommend Josh as a dog trainer. He is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about the well-being of the dogs he works with. We are grateful for the progress we've made with both Bailey and Paisley, and we look forward to continuing our work with Josh in the future.

We were amazed at how much we have learned after the initial lesson. And after just 1 day, we can tell a difference with the new techniques we have learned.

Amazing improvements! I thought we were a bit of a lost case, but after Josh came by it was a great relief having him and knowing we can contact him in the future!

Really great session today working with Nala and Walter. We addressed their barking, aggression, leash manner, and door manners. They responded very well during our session and will continue to excel with consistency.

Robert was extremely knowledgeable and patient. He taught me to control my Gracie. Every trainer I spoke to before Robert wanted to use a shock collar. Robert was extremely effective without the use of force or a shock collar and was affordable.

Daffy has been really struggling with barking at sounds, noises, and at people around the home. Today we addressed these issues, and she responded very well! I am looking forward to her progress in the coming weeks.

Marc is very fluent and continually giving good reason for understanding our dog. We understand how to treat the dog as a dog and learn how to move forward.

We have a new baby coming in a few months and were primarliy worried about how our dog HollDoll was going to react. She sometimes guards her toys, the sofa and other things. Plus she barks at people walking by constantly. Bill was a life saver! He showed us how to work with HollDoll so that we are all happy. We are even carrying around a baby doll wrapped up giving it attention so HollDoll gets used to it. Who knew? lol
