Master's Way Dog Training

Words cannot describe what an amazing job Rick was able to do with our dog. His knowledge is beyond what you will find at any other trainer. Rick is honest and fair and teaches both you and your dog. You have to be ready to recognize that you are going to have to make changes yourself and learn and practice with your dog. Our dog was aggressive towards other dogs and couldn’t walk on a leash to save her life. Rick changed our relationship with our dog and she is a pleasure to walk and her aggression has decreased such an amazing amount in just 4 weeks. Worth every penny and would always recommend. Having a well behaved and happy dog will make your life so much easier.

Took our gsd to sit means sit where they turned him into an aggressive misbehaved dog. That’s when we talked with Rick. He was able to teach us how to understand how dogs think. He was able to show us how to have more control over our dog. Now after training with Rick I have a dog I can actually take on walks without getting dragged and he is improving still in the car. I just want to thank you Rick for all your help.

I had tried some dog training videos without much success. Rick taught me how to understand what my dog needs and I was impressed by his approach to training, which was more about training me about being "ready in the moment" than it was about training the dog. I am very happy to say it works and it doesn't rely on a continual feeding of treats to get the dog to behave the way you want. It's all about establishing a mutual trust and respect between you and the dog. My dog Opal, a 100 pound Anatolian Shepard/Great Pyrenees mix, responded so well to the training and learned everything so quickly. While I had some trouble initially understanding the importance of always having your eyes on the dog, having the dog walk on the left side and having my hands on the leash in the right position, it became second nature with a little practice. Opal and I are still practicing, and it goes better each time. I highly recommend Master's Way Dog Training.

I did a lot of research trying to find a trainer who could help me with the issues I need help fixing (jumping, leash walking, etc.). I found Ricks website, and researched videos of his dogs, and how well they behaved. Something inside me kept telling me that Masters Way was THE WAY. I truly believe God blessed Rick with the ability to understand Dogs and how to teach you to be the "Master" your dog is looking for. Rick can show you how to bring the absolute best out of the relationship you have with your dog. One on one attention, no treats, no shock collars, no scare tactics. Just proper communication. The jumping problem I was experiencing was solved in the first lesson! Leash waking is so much more enjoyable now. Rick has given me and my dog so much more confidence in each other. He proved to us that through proper communication, we can do just about anything together. I would never look anywhere else for advice on how to communicate with my pup. The abundance of positive reviews convinced me to give Rick a try. I couldn't be happier with the results I received.
