Dan is the ultimate dog whisperer. I have a four month old puppy who needed puppy 101 skills. Dan came in and from day one taught our family how to understand our dog and his behaviors. Our puppy Churro learned to sit, leave, stay, here, potty training, crate training and now we will work on leash training. In addition Dan helped us with bite inhibition. All of these things have been life savers and helped us enjoy our puppy so much more. He is easily accessible via text message and answers all my questions. You can go wrong with choosing Dan as your dog trainer.

My 7 month old lab is a smart , friendly but rowdy one. Dan was able to connect with him easily and showed me hands on how to train / manage him using pure positive method. He takes time to explain his technique in a very nuanced manner. Also he is always available to help over text or video chat whenever there is any question. I wish I got my pup’s training started with Dan when he was even younger.

My pup and I are so grateful to have come across Dan and we truly valued our time with him.

My pup and I are so grateful to have come across Dan and we truly valued our time with him. Dan is as skilled with dogs as he is with humans; you will learn as much as your dog and you will both reap the benefits of having a stronger bond! I contacted Dan because my 1 year old Goldendoodle pup had become fearful and reactive towards strangers during the pandemic. I saw significant improvements in her behavior from our first session with Dan and felt like I had a solid foundation on which to build upon in between sessions. Dan's training is realistic, intuitive and easy to incorporate in your daily life- in my mind, this set him apart from any other trainer I had worked with before. My pup was visibly more confident and relaxed on her walks as a result of our work together. I cannot recommend Dan enough. His expertise was a game-changer for us and we continue to use his tips daily. "Woof Wooof"- Thanks a bunch in Goldendoodle

Dan is an amazing trainer and I highly recommend him and the Pup School! From the moment my pup Olly was 8 weeks old, he has been helping both me and my pup tremendously. From crate training to teaching him to sit patiently, as well as tips for sleeping through the night and potty training - Dan helps with any questions or issues you face while raising a pup. He always does so with a smile, lots of positive reinforcement and encouragement. Raising a puppy can be difficult at times, but with Dan's help I feel a lot more confident and I've seen huge improvements in Olly's behavior and even the bond between my pup and me. Every time Dan comes over Olly is so happy and enthusiastic, which goes to show how much love Dan puts into his training and how much my dog loves to work with him too. Dan is flexible and tailors the training to the things that are top of mind for you and your pup. If you're doubting whether to get a trainer for your dog - reach out to Dan. It is the best decision I have made, both for my pup as well as myself!
