We train dogs llc

Hard to explain how good David was for our dog. David started with our golden, Piper, at 4 months old and we set our expectations up front as did he. His approach to Piper was filled with love, building respect and confidence and positive reinforcement. He not only knows how to work with the personality and needs of the family, but he truly cares about your dog’s success during the training and thereafter. His approach was methodical and effective and she grew so much in the three weeks she was with him. We are eternally grateful to David and know that we will continue our relationship for years to come. I can’t say enough about how amazing the process was and the open lines of honesty and communication. Highly recommend.

We are extremely pleased with Sophie’s three-week training program with David Curtis. Throughout the entire process, David conducted himself in a highly professional manner and communicated exceptionally well. He provided daily updates that included both videos and pictures, which gave us great confidence and insight into Sophie’s progress. During the training, David successfully taught Sophie essential obedience commands such as sit, down, stay, and a reliable recall. He also utilized her “place” command in a very effective and structured way, helping her develop focus and calm behavior. Additionally, Sophie made significant improvements in walking on a leash, including learning to heel properly. Overall, the training was thorough, well-organized, and extremely beneficial. We highly recommend David Curtis for anyone seeking professional, effective dog training with clear communication and proven results.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about David Curtis and his dog training program. My Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix, Luna, just completed his three week Boot Camp and the transformation has been rather remarkable! David takes the dogs into his home, working with them alongside his own pack, which creates such a natural, structured environment. Luna learned how to walk calmly at my side without lunging, greet other dogs, politely, quiet her barking and so much more. Because of her breed, Luna is very protective of me, and David helped us both learn how to manage that so I can actually welcome guest back into my home. But what makes David extraordinary is not just his skill, but also his heart. He truly treats every dog like family– and in such a short time, he’s become like Family to me as well. If you’re looking for a trainer, who is exceptional, compassionate and effective, David Curtis is your guy. I am so so lucky to have found him because if I hadn’t, I was so afraid I would have to rehome Luna… and that would’ve totally broken my heart. Thanks to David, my heart is still in one piece!!!!

We first met David when we saw him out in town with one of his dogs. We sat in awe watching his dog follow his every command with laser focus. We have a Doberman Pinscher that we had worked on basic commands but still had areas that could use improvement. We approached David and complimented his well mannered dog and after talking with him, found that he is a dog trainer. We met him several times after this and when our dog turned 6 months we made the decision to board and train for 3 weeks. Our Doberman, Gabriel, understood basic commands and in public was behaved. However, at home he could be quite rambunctious often causing chaos. He saw my son as a litter mate and would often try to bite at him and dominate him by pushing, biting, and crowding him. He would also terrorize our smaller dog and had no understanding when enough was enough. We had worked on recall but he was not consistent enough to trust him to come back. To make a long story short, Gabriel is now the best version of himself. David has transformed all behaviors into a positive and enjoyable. Not only has his training created a well respectful dog but also created our bond even stronger because of the trust we now have in him. David was excellent at communicating, expectations, and answering any and all questions we had during all phases of training. He continues to follow up to ensure both Gabriel as well as us are communicating correctly. David is an amazing trainer and in those 3 weeks it was very evident that he created a bond with Gabriel. We are pleased throughout the entire process and would highly recommend him for any version of training you are considering. Gabriel is a testament to David’s training ability. There is no doubt that we will return to him in the future for any new dogs.
