Estill Dog Psychology

Robbie is the best! Our journey with Robbie started almost 4 years ago with training our German Shepherd who was in desperate need of direction and boundaries. Once a good foundation was established, he did a wonderful job of educating us in the psychology aspect, ensuring we were well equipped to continue building on the positive progress with our girl at home. Robbie also provided additional training support and guidance when I was concerned about our GSD’s potential reaction to adding another child to our home. Because of the proactive instruction we sought from Robbie, we have never had a single issue with our GSD’s behavior with our children. We also board our GSD with Robbie and I love the extra training she gets while she’s there! Most importantly I don’t spend a single minute worrying about her when we’re gone. We trust him 100%!

1.5 years ago, Robbie began helping me with my 9-year-old adopted small poodle mix with severe separation anxiety. I was to the point of despair, considering but not wanting to put him through another re-homing process. I was totally under-equipped and uneducated about how to communicate with my dog and had no idea how to help him be more secure. Robbie has been with us every step of the way… beginning with in-home consultations, a board-and-train process, and subsequent ongoing long-term follow-up and support. Robbie’s ability to provide feedback and suggestions with a positive, optimistic attitude has helped me learn how to be a calm, confident leader so my pup could finally relax. So grateful that my dog and I are part of the Estill Dog Psychology pack!

Robbie is truly one of a kind! His passion for helping humans help their dogs is unmatched. Our dog Frosty had severe food aggression and didn’t trust us to lead and provide resources. Bringing Frosty home was just the start of our new journey, and Robbie has been there every step of the way. He truly cares about you and the success of your dog and is always so encouraging. Robbie is our biggest supporter and is there anytime you need him or have any questions. He is able to educate in a way that’s easy to understand and gives you different things to work on to keep growing your relationship with your dog. Robbie has a way of connecting with people that makes you feel like family. The community he is able to build with people and their dogs is something I’m glad we are apart of. Robbie came into our lives and changed it for the better and are very thankful for him. Couldn’t recommend him more!!
