FirstBarkMy son’s dog just finished a month of amazing training there. We are beyond impressed with the quality & results. Rob was so thorough in his training, it has resulted in a significant improvement in behavior. He was very well cared for during the month he was there, and Rob kept our son updated weekly with updates and video. Worth every penny!

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
When is your next session? And how much?
If you want to have your dog trained, contact the owner, the important thing to remember is make reservations now for fall. He is extremely busy and has limited space. He has different options available for training such as obedience training or for hunting. Dogs stay with him uninterrupted for 3 weeks. He does use a correction device to aid in training. I hope this helps with your decision. He can tell you how much he charges, he is substantially less then other trainers.

Can't be more happier with my dogs results after training. Rob did a fantastic job! Awesome facility highly recommended.
Top notch dog training from Rob. Has experience to prove it with some of the best hunting dogs in the world. I would highly recommend any training done by him. The new facility is great and incredibly clean, my dog didn’t want to leave.

WAIT WHAT!!! If you are scrolling the reviews you must read this one. I noticed some reviews giving this trainer a 1. I also seen the videos. Please believe me the low ratings are the outcome of an unsatisfied customers, one in which went a revenge to get back at this trainer. The other low reviews DO NOT KNOW this trainer at all. They are simply responding to a story they know nothing about. They have never seen or brought their dogs to him. Think about it if you pick up your child from daycare and he/she is vomiting do you blame the the daycare. Just like kids if you bring your puppy to a boarding facility they become sick no fault from the trainer. Yes this trainer uses shock collar and he tells you this BEFORE you hire him to train your dog. There may be controversy about this way of training but this does not make him an abuser of animals. Yes I did use him for training with excellent outcome, no my dog does not spend all his day hiding under a table when we walk by. Conclusions: take a look at the reviews when you see drastic 5 and 1's you can conclude this an attempt to use social media to destroy a good man's business because they were mad at him. Those who have used this trainer truly used this trainer have given him a 5 just as I have. Do not miss your opportunity to hire this trainer due to misinformation. You will not be disappointed.
Rob took on my golden retriever at a moment's notice after I broke my leg. He has been so kind and thoughtful to her and I both. I was recommended here by a friend who said he was the dog whisperer. And I believe he is! I would definitely recommend Rob for any size or breed of dog.
