About
I train people not dogs. It's mostly understanding how a dog thinks and what triggers their behavior. Like any relationship, once there is good communication most situations can be fixed. I love dogs, and i always want to see dogs and owners have that special bond.

To date we have only had three sessions with Eric. However, our puppy has made some great gains and we are learning a lot. I would have to say Eric is having to train us more than our puppy as she is a much faster learner. We look forward to the training sessions to come and how we and our puppy will continue to grow together!!

I can't say enough good things about Eric. He has a holistic approach to training that our dog craves. Eric is basically training the people to understand their dog, and then meet them halfway. The results are nearly immediate and the training sessions are kind and constructive. In just two sessions (so far) We have seen improvements in both the dog's manners and overall happiness. Thank you Eric!

He was prompt, courteous and in just our first session helped train us humans and dogs alike to perform better on the leash and take back our leadership role of our pack! We have hired him on to do the whole 4 course package he offers and look forward to the great knowledge Eric will impart on us!

He is doing an amazing job teaching me and my dog. My dog had a traumatic experience when she was 3.5 months old and that experience had made her scared since. Eric is helping me more than her and with continued training we will both have the knowledge for a trusting respectful relationship that will enable my dog to be a K9 Good Citizen. We have already done two training sessions and what a difference already. Eric is worth his weight in gold. I recommend him highly. He is knowledgable and has such a calm, confident demeniour that transfers through this training. He trains both, the handler and the dog. A+!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I like to spend some time getting to know them and their dog. Once I understand their relationship then I can explain how we will train. It's important for the owner to feel comfortable with not only me but the training process. I want them to understand that they have to put in the work but the rewards are for a lifetime.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    When hiring a dog trainer I feel it's important that the trainer's style match the beliefs of the owner. There are many types of effective dog training and one is not better than the other, just a better fit in my opinion. Its good for the owner to ask a lot of questions?
