Follow My Lead Dog Training

Where do I start?! Ray is legit a dog whisperer!! My two girls could NOT be together and my husband and I changed our entire lives around to accommodate their separation for almost two years....until we found Ray! Honestly, I was skeptical that they could be "fixed". Anytime the girls saw each other there would be a fight (hence the separation and rotation of them several times a day). We tried various other trainings and trainers over the years to no avail. Finally, at my wits end, we signed the girls up for Ray's Board and Train program on a wing and a prayer and, boy, did it pay off! The techniques that Ray instilled in my girls (and me and husband) have been life changing! Our lives have improved 100%. We're now able to have both girls out at the same time without any worry. They eat next to each other, sleep next to each other, etc. We have such peace of mind knowing that our girls are happier and able to be out with us every day. Yes, there is a financial investment required to properly train your dogs. That money is WELL spent with Ray! I honestly couldn't recommend him more. My only regret is that we didn't find Ray sooner!

We enrolled our 10 month old blue-nose pitbull (land shark), Bodhi, into Ray's 2 Week Board and Train Program in late October, 2016. The reason we put Bodhi in Ray's Program was for basic obedience and to manage his aggression that he was starting to show towards his 2 house siblings (3 year old pit/mix and an 8 year old cattle dog/mix)......or so we thought. Ray, within hours of being with Bodhi, informed us that his behavior was fear based. We had no idea! Fear was the last thing we assumed was causing his aggressiveness. Ray was able to use several different training methods that allowed him to get Bodhi "checked-in". Once he was a able to make that connection, it was just a matter of time and persistence. It took a little more time than we initially expected, but the results were WELL WORTH the wait! Ray was amazing with the extra time and was very understanding of two puppy parents that were anxious to get their puppy back! Once his training was complete, Ray walked us through his training methods and was very detailed in how to manage our expectations of Bodhi and what Bodhi should expect from us moving forward! It doesn't matter if you bring your dog to Caesar Milan himself... it's all about how the owner takes control of their dog's behavior after their training has finished. Ray sent us home informed and well prepared....and he is always a text/email/call away with ANY question we had....and still have. We are extremely happy with the quality of training Bodhi received, and we have a more balanced and behaved blue-nose who every day is making strides to enjoy/trust his world and not live in fear! We are Forever Thankful to you, Ray! Joyce, Mark and Bodhi (and 2 happy sisters - Cali & Alli)

Ray is an outstanding dog trainer and person. We had Ray come to us for help with our four month old Rotti, Bruno. Bruno was showing early signs of aggression which we new we had to stop immediately. On Rays first visit he was able show us techniques and hands on guidance on how to control Bruno's aggression. Within a week our aggressive little pup was on his way to being a sweetheart. Bruno is healing, placeing, and coming along with other commands. Ray has a phenomenal way of connecting with dogs. I highly recommend Ray if your looking for an exceptional, knowledgeable and kind dog trainer. I enjoyed our training sessions with Ray and looked forward to each visit.
