David has been absolutely amazing with our challenging dog, and under challenging circumstances. We did a board and train while on vacation, and he sent pics and videos while we were gone to illustrate the remarkable progress in skills that took place in only a matter of days, from leash training to general obedience to reactivity. David has been wonderful with our dog and you can see the true care he has for him and his progress. We feel fortunate to have found him. Highly recommend!

David was great with my hyperactive dog. Sent lots of videos and showed us how well behaved he can really be. We will definitely use him again. He was very knowledgeable and loving toward our energetic pet.

David was AMAZING, and we highly recommend him! Gracie is our 5 month old Weimaraner puppy, and we were gone for a little over 1 week. We really didn’t want to leave her, but David made us feel at ease during the “meet and greet.” He is very knowledgeable with dog handling and training, and he moved mountains with our stubborn pup! David offers in-home boarding, and lived within 3 miles of our home. He sent us pictures and videos throughout the week of her progress with training while we were gone. He even took the time at pick up to review what she had learned and took the time to teach me his techniques. He shared recommendations for training collars for Gracie, which will help facilitate us continuing on at home with her progress. We were blown away with our experience, and David far exceeded our expectations. David is also giving us a one and a half hour personal training session post-booking, which we are thrilled to have! We will definitely use David again in the future, for both boarding and training! Just to mention a few highlights of what Gracie learned and accomplished in just one week: Sit, Down, loose-leash walking, calm welcome, no more jumping, heel, come, fetch and return/drop, running alongside a bike, socialization with other dogs (David has two who were great with Gracie), no bolting out the doors, and he was able to redirect/channel her over-excitable energy. Long story short, David is AWESOME and we are so thankful for his knowledge and expertise. Gracie was in great hands, and he made us feel comfortable by sending us pictures and videos during her stay. We HIGHLY recommend David! 🩷
