The K9 Coach

Neil is definitely one of best in business. He builds great rapport with dogs and is fantastic at teaching owners how to handle a canine. Koda, American bulldog, has several issues to deal with on regular basis. Koda is high energy and deals with fear and anxiety on daily basis when on leash or in back yard or car. He becomes extremely aggressive and irritated when dogs around him. Neil has helped Koda and I remain calm when dealing with those issue. Koda has come a long long way with Neil help and we hope to get even better as we continue our relationship and training with Neil and Rocky who is fantastic assistant. Thanks Neil and look forward to working with you!

Where do I even start? My boyfriend and I adopted Freddie, our Italian Greyhound in Oct 2019. He is the best thing that ever happened to us.. HOWEVER, Iggy's are notoriously hard to train. I was losing hope. My coworker suggested I call Neil. At first, Neil was generous enough to help us with some tips over the phone, absolutely free. At that point, I knew this man had a deep care and desire to help animals. His kindness matches his skills. After weeks of talking with Neil over the phone, we decided to make the trip to KOP to visit him for in person sessions with Freddie. He taught us how to walk Freddie properly on a leash, how to teach him how to sit, and most importantly!! How to be consistent with potty training. Although we decided Freddie is an indoor potty dog (against Neil's teachings) we were successfully able to potty train him to pee outside on command. We also learned how to skillfully walk/run with him on a leash. We truly owe our sanity to Neil! Thank you thank you thank you, for guiding us through the HARDEST days with puppy training! I will recommend Neil to anyone and everyone, because I thought Freddie would be impossible to train. Turns out, all he needed was to meet the K9 Coach!

Mission Impossible!! We rescued Domino, a 3 yr old Pit, from Main Line Animal Rescue. He is a lovable, sweet family member who has become very protective of us. So much so that when anyone comes to our door, he barks, growls, and will not let anyone in the house. Our son came home from school for a weekend and Domino would not allow him to stay. We had to board Domino for several days so that our son can be at home. Our son was coming back home for Spring Break in a month and we needed everyone to get along. Neil saved our family!! Working with Domino for just a few weeks, Neil was able to introduce us to techniques on how to calm him down. When our son came home, Neil was there for the re-introduction. Domino was anxious at first, but Neil was able to get him to accept our son as part of our family. We still have some work to do when other guests come to visit, but I am confident that Neil will eventually have Domino relaxed as long as he knows that when he is with us he is safe.
