“Elena was communicative and prompt. She came into the session with ideas about what we needed to change about our daily schedule and skills we can practice. She demonstrated the training skills for us to work on and sent us a very detailed plan after the fact.”

“Really helpful first session for us (and for Fish!). Chitra is very knowledgeable, experienced, and patient. She was very helpful in identifying how we can improve our current training, and reassured us that we are on the right path so far. We’ll be booking a block of sessions soon”

“My friend Sydney helped my puppy Xena learn “go to spot” and practice her “heel” outside. She was patient and rewarded Xena with her favorite treats to help make training easy for her. She did not push her past her limit and left room for her to make the right choice! I would highly recommend Sydney if you’re looking to get your pup trained by someone seasoned and experienced, she is so caring, genuine and just overall wonderful to work with!”

“Sam is wonderful, he has a great temperament and I’m just our first session, has helped us greatly! We’re all looking forward to future sessions!”

“Katie was SO HELPFUL. She taught me what behaviors to look for that would indicate my dog is adjusting well to a new situation versus is totally overwhelmed and needs a minute. She also had some clever practical techniques for me to use to work on my dog’s separation anxiety. I appreciated how she was able to balance the dog’s needs with my own needs and create a training plan that aligned with both. Will definitely be working with her again.”

“The first session with William went so well, his techniques showed immediate improvement with my dogs behavior and he explained things very intuitively. I look forward to continuing to work with him”

“Bill was AMAZING with Yogi! We’re so thankful to have found him! Yogi was having a hard time adjusting after our move and had become reactive to dogs and people. We finally feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel because yogi is so much more confident and comfortable and was even able to walk past another dog without barking. Thank you, Bill!”

“Danny was very knowledgeable and helped me see the world from my dog’s perspective. I had been doing group training classes and it felt like I wasn’t making progress, one-on-one training with Danny gave me the tools I needed to move forward. He made me realize that I was accidentally encouraging the behaviors I was trying to eliminate. Just 2 sessions with Danny has made my life with my dog so much more enjoyable!”

About: I combine precise timing, deep behavioral insight, and a structured approach that helps dogs learn faster with less stress and confusion. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all method, I tailor each session to the individual puppy’s temperament, energy, and learning style. My focus on building trust, clarity, and lasting habits creates results that go beyond obedience—shaping calm, confident dogs for real-life environments.

“Leo came with so many ideas to move forward with, left us with a new toy, and was super informative. I felt listened to and look forward to working with her and my dog, not just on problematic stuff but genuinely helping him grow and learn.”

“James was very patient taking time to know my dog. Once he learned what her personality was he then worked on talking to her in dog talk which taught us how to relate to our dog in another way. My dog love him.”

“Jade is an extremely reliable, talented, and natural dog trainer. We have worked with Jade since our dog Bruno was a puppy. Bruno is an anxious pup, and he immediately took to Jade, which is rare! She always treats Bruno with kindness and has incredible patience in helping him become more confident and obedient. Jade also took the time to teach us how to best support Bruno, helping us become better dog parents. We can't recommend Jade enough!”

From the beginning, Lindsey impressed us with her well-thought-out and clear step-by-step plans. She took the time to understand our dog's unique needs and tailored the training accordingly. Her strategies were effective and easy to follow. Lindsey's patience and dedication were evident in every session, and we saw significant improvements quickly.

About: My approach is grounded in positive reinforcement and evidence-based methods, ensuring that both you and your pets have a rewarding and enjoyable training experience. I use the LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) approach to training. This method emphasizes using the least intrusive and minimally aversive strategies to achieve positive behavior change. By prioritizing the welfare and comfort of your pet, we ensure that the training process is as stress-free and effective as possible.

“Jen took the time to explain and educate my husband and I about our dog’s behavior. Jen is patient and encouraging and truly wants us to succeed!”

“Jenna was absolutely fantastic with my little guy. My dog has a big personality and is very anxious and defensive of me, Jenna was ready for all of that immediately. In addition to asking about his health issues prior, she came so prepared to help me and did so well at that! I’m a huge pushover with my dog and I care so much about him being happy and she totally got that. I’m super excited to work with Jenna again! Highly recommend.”

About: As a behavioral dog trainer at the Quincy Animal Shelter, I specialize in understanding what makes each dog tick. No two dogs are the same, which is why I tailor my training approach to fit your dog’s unique personality and needs.

“My dog is reactive, so it was important to me to find the right trainer with the right level of skill and an approach I agreed with. It was immediately clear to me that Maura is exactly what my dog and I need. Her depth of knowledge is incredible. She effortlessly cites research as she teaches, demonstrating each pointer she provides is not just her personal opinion but based in science. She's a passionate student of dog behavior, on top of her extensive practical experience. She gave me practical exercises and tips which I could immediately put into action and I'm already seeing a positive change in my dog's behavior. Not to mention, she's got a wonderful personality and creates a judgment-free space for learning. My dog agrees - he was snuggled up on the couch with her within about 4 minutes of meeting her. I can't recommend her enough!”

“Justin G. is one of those people dogs are instantly drawn to. He’s incredibly down to earth and brings a calm and confident energy that dogs naturally connect with. From personal experience walking my own dog with Justin, he is extremely skilled at pack walks and trail hikes and is always aware of each dog’s abilities. He’s very physically capable, so your dog will absolutely get the exercise they need. Justin is also great with basic obedience and commands and his knowledge of dog behavior sets him apart. I have trusted him with my dog before and would do so again without hesitation.”

“Cara was awesome! She provided us with a wealth of information and tools to help us with our pup Cody. She handled him extremely well and he responded to all her methods in just one session. Cara is enthusiastic about training and it surely shows with how well our Cody took to her. Cara was kind and supportive and answered all our questions. I am so relieved and excited to have tools that truly make sense in training our pup. Thanks so much Cara. You were wonderful!”

“Amazing. He came to my house on time. Did amazing with my puppy. Recommend him to anyone.”

“Stacy has been amazing to work with! She’s incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. Xena absolutely loves her, and we’ve seen so much growth in her confidence. One of the biggest things for me is how much I can trust her. Knowing Xena is happy, safe, and in such good hands gives me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Stacy to anyone looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about both dogs and their owners!”

“Rachel was great and we learned a lot working with her. Thanks!”

“Andre helped us so much with our puppy by demonstrating ways to communicate with her and instill good habits while young (for us and her!).”

Her mix of evidence-based technique and compassion gave me and my partner the information we needed alongside newfound confidence in our ability to rehabilitate unwanted behaviors in our pup, Milton. We would recommend working with Laura to anyone who is seeking a kind, evidence-based trainer, and we greatly look forward to continuing our work with her.”

“Excellent. Showed me ways to use a clicker and treats to reinforce good behavior Also what to do about her jumping up on people. Was very patient with my dog and me! Had suggestions about other ways to stimulate her brain and keep her less bored.”
