I've known Ralph now for over 2 years. I met him after getting a Doberman Puppy from a breeder in Orange, Trinity Doberman's. I had used another trainer in Warrenton who I won't name but I was extremely disappointed in their program and the results I was getting. I called my Breeder and said I need someone that is the BEST! She told me about Ralph. He was amazing to deal with! I signed up for the most advanced package he offers to get the most out of my dog and his training. Needless to say I can walk my dog in my neighborhood with other dogs around, kids playing, cars driving by and I can walk him with no leash and he walks right by my side. When I stop at the cross walks he automatically sits and starts walking once I move again. I can leave him in the middle of the park near my house and place him in a sit/down stay and just walk away and he won't move, even with all the distractions all around him he waits for my commands. He has unlocked tons of potential of my dog and there is much more I can do with him that I will explorer with Ralph now that my dog is older. I highly recommend him for any dog needs you might have! Don't walk, RUN to Ralph as he books up fast but be patient, the wait is so worth it!!!
I am a little late on this review, but Ralph did an amazing job training my one year old puppy. Ralph did a fantastic job training my dog as well as teaching me how to properly do the exercises for practice at home during the week. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking to train their dog.
Ralph did an amazing job training my sons Rottweiler. I highly recommend him for any dog.
Ralph is an excellent trainer. He is patient, caring and understands how to modify bad behaviors and provide training based upon your request and your pets needs. Have used him twice and would use him again if ever needed with another dog.
