It was a fantastic experience working with Gordon. The training sessions are well thought out to develop foundations and build upon them. The written notes Gordon provides are a huge asset in addition to the videos I took during the lesson. There is so much good information in each lesson. Well worth the time. If you stick to it and follow his guidance, the results will speak for themselves. Thanks so much.

Gordon is great! He is excellent with communication/responsiveness (both with us humans and the dog), and he really knows his stuff. Not to mention, it was really cool to see our rescue pup go from just knowing how to sit to mastering a variety of commands. Outside of the obedience training, he helped with reactivity training and provided recs for books, leashes, collars, etc. 5 stars for going above and beyond!

I worked with Webster Dog Training to help prepare my dog, Zen, for both his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Test and an international relocation (a long flight from LA to Dubai), and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. Gordon is truly exceptional — highly professional, reliable, and incredibly knowledgeable. One thing I especially appreciated was that the training was done at home, for my own convenience, as my schedule was incredibly busy leading up to the move. Zen genuinely enjoyed his sessions, and Gordon provided me with valuable insights and practical suggestions to better understand and support my dog’s behavior. Gordon also taught me how to properly introduce and use the muzzle — something I was initially very uncomfortable with but was required for the plane and airport. Thanks to his guidance, Zen not only accepted the muzzle but now feels completely comfortable and confident wearing it. Thanks to Gordon’s guidance, Zen successfully passed his CGC Test and handled the stress of international travel like a champ — staying calm, focused, and well-behaved through busy airports, long flights, and weeks of hotel hopping. The level of preparation and care Gordon put into this process was outstanding. Excellent communication, great organization, and a thoughtful, results-driven approach — I highly recommend Webster Dog Training to anyone looking for expert support and real results. An absolute five-star experience!

If you're lucky enough to train with Gordon, prepare to be amazed—not just by how your dog transforms, but by how you do, too. Gordon is teaching us a modern, thoughtful approach to working with our rescue pup, Kona. She had a rough start in life, found on the streets with no training, and was even afraid to come inside our home when we first brought her in. By the time Gordon entered the picture, she already trusted us—but with him, she absorbs everything he says and does like a sponge. She lights up in his presence and genuinely enjoys learning. He comes prepared—with organic chicken and a toolkit of humane, effective training techniques. From 15-foot leash work to mat training and even mirror work, every session is packed with practical guidance and real progress. Gordon isn’t just a trainer—he’s a coach, a guide, and a true wealth of knowledge. We’ve watched Kona grow in confidence, and we’ve learned how to communicate with her in ways that are kind, clear, and truly effective. No yelling, no shortcuts—just smart, compassionate training that delivers real results. If you're looking for someone who deeply understands both dogs and people, Gordon is the one. We can’t recommend him highly enough.

It's been a pleasure working with Gordon! He is very patient and knowledgable, and has helped make a noticeable difference in my pup's behavior in only a short few weeks. I highly recommend!!
