I could not provide a higher recommendation. Erik was great to work with on every level. We've used multiple dog trainers over the years and he was by far the best. His demeanor towards both our animals and us made it very easy to adopt his teachings. He helped us tame our young puppy without breaking his spirit. Walking went from a daily nightmare to an enjoyable family activity.
