Eric Letendre's Dog Training School

Wow, thank you so much for this incredible review and the 5-star shoutout! First, we have to give a huge thank you to that wonderful couple at Bass Pro Shops for passing along our name—word-of-mouth from successful clients is the highest compliment we can ever receive. German Shepherds are brilliant, powerful dogs, but when they start developing unwanted behaviors, it can become stressful fast. It is unfortunately common to lose time with a trainer who isn't the right fit, but the moment you switch to clear, effective communication, dogs like Sargent lock right in. Seeing that immediate, day-one turnaround is exactly what we strive for. We truly appreciate you making the drive from Rhode Island to trust us with Sargent. Hearing that we've made such a positive difference in your lives is the ultimate reward for our team. You’ve done a fantastic job implementing the training, and Sargent is lucky to have you. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review, and for trusting me with your second rescue! It is always the ultimate compliment when a client returns with a new dog. Even with your own background in training and showing, recognizing when you need a different strategy to handle deep-rooted, stressful rescue behaviors takes a lot of insight. As you experienced, once we cut through the confusion and show the dog a clear path, those negative behaviors can fall away incredibly fast. My goal has always been to provide real, fast, and practical solutions that restore peace to the home—because, at the end of the day, it really is all about helping the dog and the family thrive together. Thank you for your loyalty, your kind words, and for giving another rescue dog a fantastic home. It is always a pleasure working with you!

Thank you so much for the high recommendation! Mini Goldendoodles have a ton of energy and smarts, and watching your pup thrive through both the Puppy and Level 1 courses has been a pleasure. Seeing that exceptional difference in his behavior is exactly what happens when you combine the right tools with dedicated owners who put the work in at home. We are also thrilled to hear you found the puppy playgroups and our follow-up support beneficial. Socialization and ongoing communication are huge parts of building a confident, well-rounded dog for the long run. Thank you for trusting our team with your pup. Keep up the fantastic work, and please don't hesitate to reach out whenever you have questions!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review Suzanne! Leash reactivity can make walks feel like a battlefield, especially with a young, energetic dog like Monte. A lot of people are surprised by how fast a dog can shift, but once we cut through the confusion and show them exactly what we expect, that anxious, aggressive behavior can vanish in minutes. Seeing Monte lock in, stand at attention, and ignore the distractions was an awesome breakthrough. The real magic, though, is what happens after the session. You deserve a ton of credit for taking that advice, putting it into practice, and maintaining those boundaries at home. That consistency is why you are enjoying a well-behaved dog today! Thank you and keep enjoying those peaceful, stress-free walks together!

Thank you so much for this incredible review! Being trusted to help you with three of your dogs is the ultimate compliment, and we are so grateful for your long-term loyalty. Seeing them build up their confidence around other dogs and people is a huge milestone, but watching them absolutely crush it in agility is the icing on the cake! Agility is such a fantastic way to channel their energy, challenge their minds, and build an even closer bond with you. They really have caught on incredibly fast, and their enthusiasm every weekend makes the class a blast for everyone. Thank you for being such a dedicated owner and a wonderful part of our training program We look forward to seeing you all this weekend for more fun and learning!
