Peter is an outstanding trainer. He teaches the owners how to manage their relationships with their pets. After his first visit, we found that we were much more successful in training our dog.

About Better Manners Home Dog Training
As an IACP professional in home dog trainer since 2001, and the former national training manager for an international dog training company, I have helped thousands of dogs and their humans understand why any behaviors take place and how to teach the new skills we want your dog to learn. From puppy basics, general obedience, to specific behavior instruction or specific behavior elimination, such as barking, jumping up, not coming when called, or even difficult situations like separation anxiety. I can show you how to achieve your goals with any behaviors your dog is choosing. The best way to describe what I do to help you is relationship based training.

Pete was extremely personable and helpful when it came to our dog Shia! She was having issues with dog aggression and listening to commands. But after the help of Pete she has become a whole new dog when it comes to our nightly walks and listening to the commands we give her! I highly recommend the training Pete offers!

Peter from Better Manners dog training is a fantastic trainer! The secret is, he doesn’t train dogs, he trains people to understand their dog’s psychology so that you can communicate effectively with your pet. When we got Lyra, she was very shy and reserved. Just scared of everything - including us. She was afraid to go for walks. Most of the time she wouldn’t even get out of her bed to go outside- we would have to carry her out. She wouldn’t do her business if we were out there with her, so we’d set her outside, then go inside and watch her through the sliding glass doors. To make matters worse, she had started to bark at the neighbors dogs through the fence. On his first day here, Peter walked us through the process of earning her trust and respect. He assured us that the bond would develop over time. He took her outside, and using his method, trained her in less than 10 minutes to not bark at the fence. It was a miracle. Using the tools Peter gave us, we’ve been able to help Lyra blossom into happy, outgoing, well-behaved dog. She loves training so much, I’m constantly learning new tricks to teach her, we’ve even started tip-toeing into some agility training. And of course she LOVES her walks. If you are looking for a great training experience, there’s no better trainer than Peter at Better Manners.
Peter did a wonderful job with two of my corgis who did not get along. They have since passed and I just had him out to help with my new puppy. He does a great job and is always positive with the dogs!
Pete is remarkable. Within the first session he turned our dog's behavior around. He taught us how to read our dog and other dogs actions which has helped up immensely. We would recommend over and over again. The guy is a dog whisperer.
