Levels K9

My dogs were running my household!! I gave Erik my two dogs for a 5 week board and train because I was ready to get rid of them altogether - my house had become very chaotic with both of them and a new baby. They are now home and are new dogs! They have boundaries now, with each other and with the house. The codependency has been addressed, and they are able to be apart without crying and barking. They listen and are engaged with my husband and I - no longer flying all over the furniture and smothering my little baby girl with slobber and sniffs. Erik sent me videos throughout the process, and from the first time meeting him I felt very safe leaving my dogs in his care. You can tell they were happy to be there, and when he comes to the home visits they are excited to see him! Thank you Erik for giving me my babies back just the way I expected - maybe even better!

I was convinced that our sweet (with family) 65 lb dog was aggressive with strangers. With three kids, that behavior wasn’t going to work. I was at my wits end and was willing to do just about anything to prevent Finn being put down. That’s where Erik came in and let me tell you what a God send he was. He was able to tell at first meet that Finn was not aggressive but had boundary issues. Erik requested a month to work with him. During that month, he sent videos to show Finn’s progress. I could tell within a week that Finn was flourishing under Erik’s guidance. The best part is towards the end of Finn’s training, my family was able to work with Erik and Finn to prepare for the transition home. Finn is now much more confident which has lead to better behavior. He listens to commands. We can take him on walks now without fear of Cujo making an appearance. Erik has made himself available for any questions and concerns during and after the month period. My biggest fear was taking Finn to the vet because he was muzzled last time he was there. Erik agreed to go with me as a part of the two follow up visits. The appointment went beautifully and I could have cried with how happy and relieved I felt. My family and I cannot fully express how thankful we are to Erik and we will be working with him further in group classes to continue Finn’s socializing and success as well as building our confidence as dog owners.

Erick was amazing with my girl! I brought her to him for a 3 week board and train for her reactivity/leash aggression issues. Not only did she learn to trust him, she has become calmer when walking. He gave me the tools i needed as well to continue making progress at home. He’s truly a dog whisperer, my dog respected him so much! His two follow up training sessions addressed any further practice we BOTH needed and I feel confident in me and my dogs future of living in harmony with our neighbors! Thanks Erick!!
