My fiancé and I were having a lot of trouble getting our new puppy and cats to co-exist peacefully. When we voiced these concerns to our vet, he recommended we contact Ricky. Ricky is personable, knowledge, and incredibly passionate about dogs. He helped us understand the importance of obedience not as any sort of punishment, but as a way to help our puppy navigate the world safely and successfully. Through our training sessions, we have developed a connection with our pup that has given us the confidence to raise her to be a well-behaved dog. He has not only helped us keep her calm while interacting with the cats, but given us so much insight into how a dog's mind works. We are very grateful for his time and expertise! We already have and will continue to recommend him to anyone looking for some help with their puppy or dog.

I was very skeptical before starting training with Ricky, but my Australian cattle dog needed help. Or should I say, I needed help with her. I had done some training with other trainers and I was unimpressed with their technique and results. Ricky really seemed to know his way around dogs. He knew how to evaluate what our dog needed from us and what we wanted from our dog. His techniques are very helpful along with his interactive classes. Even during covid social distancing he can still see and interact with us. Our dog even responds to his command via facetime. Ricky has been just what we need to get a handle on our pup. There was a time where both of us were ready to get rid of our unruly dog, but Ricky assured us that we could turn her around. She is becoming a more respectful pup, and now I'm sure I could never get rid of her. We owe it all to Divine Canine Solutions.

I've been having Zoom lessons with Ricky for my young dog for about 2 months now. Ricky is very experienced and does a great job adapting to the unique personality of my dog. He has also been accommodating when I needed to postpone or cancel lessons. I would recommend Ricky to anyone who has a dog with (or without) behavioral problems.

Ricky has been working with me and my dog Benny virtually for about month and a half now and it has been wonderful! I have learned so many commands, tricks and everyday hacks to do with my dog through Ricky. I was at first a bit nervous how dog training would go virtually but it has been just as effective as live training for us!
