Update to our first review. Had a follow up in home session for doorbell training. Can't say enough about David's knowledge, ease of training and his love for dogs. We hired David for our two bulldogs sisters for basic training as well as aggressive behavior between them and toward other dogs when walking them. They were with David for almost three weeks and have been home for about three weeks. They love to take walks,"properly", they lay together, they can have treats with no fighting. We still have some sessions to be sure "mom and dad" are doing continued training correctly. We just want to say David has been so kind and loving with us and our girls. It really is like having "better dogs". Thank you David. We are looking forward to our continued training.

We first reached out to David to have someone watch our dog when we had to go out of town. We warned him about our dog having some fear based aggression towards people. After leaving our dog with David for a couple of days at a time, we noticed how our dog was always happy and calm to return to David’s place. Recently we had to go out of town for a longer period of time and David worked with us in creating an ad-hoc training schedule for our dog, based on what our concerns were. David took the time to learn as much as possible about our dog and to make sure to build trust with him. David was great at sending us updates about the progress and once we went to pick our dog up, we were so amazed to see how comfortable our dog was around other people and the great progress he made in only 2 weeks. David came to our house for a follow-up lesson to show us how to keep working on what our dog learned and how to manage some of the behaviors we were looking to get corrected. From the way our dog behaves around David, it is clear that he is an amazing trainer. We are so grateful for him! I am a very apprehensive dog parent and I do not trust a lot of people with my dog, but when I leave him with David, I have great peace of mind.

David is the best! My dog was having sudden aggression issues. I had just brought home a newborn and had to put an end to that immediately. David lead private lessons from my house. He was great with my timid dog, made him feel comfortable the first session. Within a few sessions my dog was more calm, listening better and overall a better family dog. I was not looking forward to the dog training process but David made it painless. Would higher recommend!

My poor anxious german comes to David every time I'm away because he's that awesome. I would be sol for travel if it were not for him. I did 2 week intensive training as well .highly recommend.

We hired stress less to board and train our new puppies. We waited till they were 6 months old and sent them off for 45 days. Every once and while we would get pictures or videos of them waving on a leash and all looked good. But when we got them dropped off, they didn’t mind David which was our first red flag. He had to put a shock collar on them to mind at all and even the. They did not 100% of the time. When I messaged to come back and work with them there was no follow up and when I wanted to board which is a “ benifits for clients” the price goes up every time. We started at $30 per night per dog, the next time was $45, and the next time was $50. We have 10lb dogs full grown. How is it $50 a night. Not to mention we paid $4,000 for dogs that are not trained. There are probably better trainer’s/companies out there that will follow up and ensure you get your moneys worth of of training. Update… After David saw the review he then said if I take down the review he would train the dogs, but later said he will not work with us anymore. So to recap, he took the dogs for 45 days, they came back partially trained and when I reached back out for home training he denied it. Beware of Stress Less Dog care- there are many trainers in the valley that can do this work and will be more honest for the money, if you do decide to go with him, get EVERYTHING in writing.
