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.

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!

Last night was our first training with Tucker and Eric was awesome. We determined that Tucker thought I was his playmate and Eric showed me how to stop that. Tucker is just about 4 months so he has a lot of energy and is feisty. The walk we had was great and Tucker responded. We had a walk this morning but not as good since the grass was wet and it was dark but for the most part he did ok. I am very happy with Eric and look forward to more training. I would recommend Eric to everyone looking to have a well trained dog.

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!

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?
