Introduction
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.

Eric is amazing! Miles is our first dog and Eric has taught us how to be comfortable and confident in training our dog. We still have a ton to learn but we are so happy with how far we've come!

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!

Eric is great. He really understands dogs and makes training look easy, which over a little time, has gotten easier. I could not recommend him more.

I had gotten a 4 year old Maltese mix from the Denver Dumb Friends League two months ago after having to put down my first dog who had medical issues. Joey is a wonderful dog, but one that was pulling on his leash to walk ahead of me, lunging after squirrels and rabbits and excitedly pulling when he saw other dogs... basically being the alpha. Eric taught me how my energy was impacting the dog's behavior, and though still a work in progress, how to be the pack leader. We eventually went with a choke collar which helped our walks tremendously. Now I've gained more confidence, and we are both more relaxed when walking. Eric gave me some practical tips around the basics; the walk and how to sit and stay when greeting people at the door. I would highly recommend Eric for you and your dog's training.

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?
