Eric is by far the best dog sitter/trainer/dog whisperer/canine guru I've ever had. I have two friendly rescue dogs with very different energy levels and personalities. He understood them right away. One dog is 7 and the other is 2. The 2 year old was a stray for presumably her whole life and needed training on some of the basics like not begging and "stay". The 7 year old is well trained but has appeared to have developed reactivity out on walks when other dogs are nearby (she also isn't food motivated so we had no idea how to distract her). Before Eric helped us understand how to communicate better with our dogs, we were so frustrated. He made training actually fun, not frustrating. We have done one-on-one and group training before but this was so different. He actually broke down why certain techniques that he uses work and why. Our dogs are getting so much better every day thanks to him! We loved his training style and overall personality so much that we had him dog sit for us a few times. My dogs are my children and I'm not super into having people in my home when I'm not home (who does?) but Eric exudes trustworthiness. He took care of our dogs and our home as if it were his own. We've used kennels in the past and I'll never go back. They seemed so much more like themselves rather than stressed when we got home. He also texted us updates and funny pictures of our dogs so we could still see them. You can tell Eric truly loves what he does and just wants everyone to have a stress-free, fun, and understanding relationship with their dog. I am so grateful we found someone so knowledgable and caring to help us understand our dogs better.
