Dave came by my house never meeting my 7 month old yellow lab to train her obedience and right away seen first hand the knowledge is top notch. Sadie was at his command the whole time and she was so eager to learn. Can't thank Dave enough for helping us break some bad habits and instilling the right way to give commands and execute them properly. Will be calling Dave again for the next class when shes ready.

I am so happy with the results of hiring Dave as my dog trainer. He is very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He taught me how to communicate with my dog and understand his behavior. He also trained my dog to obey basic commands, walk nicely on a leash, and socialize with other dogs. My dog is now more confident, calm, and well-behaved. I highly recommend Dave to anyone who needs a dog trainer. He is the best! What impressed me the most was that it was the trainer's first time meeting my puppy, and he was able to get him to stop biting. He showed me how to use positive reinforcement and redirection techniques to correct this unwanted behavior. He also gave me some tips on how to prevent future biting issues. Dave is truly a miracle worker! Another thing that I really appreciated was how kind, gentle, and understanding he was with my puppy. He treated my puppy with respect and patience. He also gave me the confidence to train my dog by encouraging me and praising my progress. He made the whole experience fun and rewarding for both me and my dog. Dave is not only a great trainer, but also a great person!

Dave is absolutely AMAZING! Calling him was one of the best things I've ever done. Within just a few weeks, he has literally changed my life. His expertise, passion, and natural talent make him the BEST in the dog training business. After just one session with Dave, my pup was a different dog, and I actually cried tears of gratitude because my pup's bad behavior was under control. I went from dreading my walks with Cash to feeling excited about them. In addition to leash training, Dave has addressed Cash's other negative behaviors including reactivity, lack of recall response, and jumping. Dave can handle any challenge! Having a well behaved, obedient dog is LIFE CHANGING! Dave's services are priceless and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to anyone with a dog!

Found out about Dave through a mutual friend, that just had hard to groom dogs nails done. Our 2 year old GSP Otto was also impossible to get his nails done, we were about to just keep letting them grow. Dave took his time with Otto, built up trust with him, and took breaks so Otto wasn’t traumatized. Dave got a work out in the process, but Otto’s nails are so much better. Dave also gave me some pointers and excellent advice. Definitely will be working with him soon to help tame the wild beast.
