We had a great experience with Eric's in-home training. My 6 month old rescue was just the right age to get started with some basics and she progressed at a rapid pace. Thanks, Eric!

Eric is absolutely amazing! I wish I'd gotten started sooner. I tried going through PetSmart but we didn't make any progress. I drug my heels because of the price but I can say with 100% certainty now that it was worth every penny! He has completely revolutionized our home life and I'm so proud of the progress my dog has made. It feels good to be able to take her out places and her be so well behaved when we were having so many problems before. The stress level is way down and I feel so connected with her. I am no longer embarrassed when people come over and can't wait to show off how well behaved she is. I think she is well on her way to therapy dogdom. I can't thank you enough!

Eric was absolutely awesome. The changes he made in our Sheepadoodle, Nick, are incredible. With only four lessons he learned so much. Among other things Nick doesn’t jump or bite and he respects other dogs. I highly recommend Eric to train your dog! You will be very satisfied!

Eric is a knowledgeable, friendly, and effective dog trainer! We decided to work with a trainer for our 6 year old Cavapoo in preparation for a new puppy. Our dog was possessive of his food and growled at other dogs or people who came near him when eating. He also barked and barked when people came to the door or into the house. We opted for six sessions with Eric to give us time to work with both our dog before and after the puppy arrived. Eric knew exactly how to address the problematic behaviors and he also taught us how to follow up as homework. Eric was professional, responsive, and invaluable in helping us with our dog. We wish we had worked with him sooner!

We are so grateful for Eric! He was so patient and knowledgeable while working with our two rambunctious fox hound puppies. Our biggest challenges were getting them to listen (typical hound behavior ha!), commands, jumping on guests, and leash walking. We opted for the 4 training sessions in our home and it was perfect for what we were looking for. Eric was quick to respond and get us on his schedule. After the first session, we already noticed an improvement. Now that training is complete, they are completely different pups! We are beyond thrilled and we recommend anyone who needs some guidance in training to call Eric ASAP!!
