About

No greater thing on Earth than a dog. They have a way of making everyday moments special. Their only fault is that their lives are too short. Everyone should have a dog, it’s good for your soul. Once you’ve had a wonderful dog, a life without, is a life diminished. While owners can, and should, train their own dogs, it is recommended you seek professional help to teach you how this is done. I offer 2-hour, in-home, sessions at $150.00

Pete is very patient and took the time to understand my dog’s behavior. His instruction is clear, easy to follow, and working well!

Pete was calm and patient in dealing with our demanding, sometimes aggressive Frenchie. After 45 minutes, he had her listening to him and walking next to him. He taught us some very valuable training techniques, and how we can be better owners. Definitely worth the investment!

Pete spent a couple of hours with us pointing out many areas where we could make improvement in the way we interacted with our dog. He talked through our issues showed us how to work on them and then helped us practice. We had many things to work on so we have not conquered them all yet but in just a week we have made major progress and we are all enjoying the training he shared. If we need more help I would gladly call Pete.

Instead of just training the dog, Pete trained me and my two boys how to get the behavior we needed from Cocoa. He didn’t require a certain amount of sessions; our scheduled meetings were “as needed.” His rate was well worth his training expertise.

We were very impressed with the help from one session. We had a good start, but sometimes as a dog owner you hit a block of what do we do now??? And the answer is, hire a Pro who can guide you in extensive out of the box dog training. We had one session and like most first time dog owners we were not understanding the respect we should be demanding from our puppy. Buddy was really responsive, due to the session. It helped us understand the pecking order of our family, and Buddy was #1; all backwards. Although common with first time dog owners, we got a lot of activities to work with Buddy. Helping him to understand what we needed from him, and him understanding what to expect from us.

I appreciate your positive review, but like to remind you, it's not me that counts in raising your dog . . . it is you and you deserve all the credit. I consider my work a community service. :-)
