Amazing work with my corgi Rosie! For years we’ve dealt with her jumping up and being the boss wherever she goes and in everyone’s business, after two weeks in training she’s so calm now! Isn’t harassing me in the kitchen, she listens to commands, such a little lady now! Not to mention she finally has some patience with our puppy! Can’t wait to send my other two and have a well behaved house! Thank you!

Dyrus did a great job with my German Shepherd! He is a 1 year old pup who was having issues with reactivity and becoming easily distracted. Dyrus worked with him for a month and communicated with me daily. Now his recall is great and he follows commands much easier. My arm doesn't hurt from trying to walk him daily anymore. He is still my same sweet but crazy dog just a lot better behaved!

I contacted Dyrus about working with my dog and I could not have gotten a better response from either him or her. He always responded promptly and gave updates the whole time she was training. I had a hard time leaving her as she is my baby but I knew she was in the best of hands and I got plenty of photos and videos that gave me peace. Dyrus also showed me how to enforce everything that he taught her and really worked on enforcing positive behavior not only with her but reminding me to do that as well. The dog that came home with me is the same happy loving puppy she just happens to listen a little better!

I own a 1 year old male cane corso. He wasn't aggressive; just hard headed. He didn't realize he's not a lápiz dog like our chihuahua. Lol. Dryus trained and boarded apollo for 2 weeks. He routinely sent pictures and videos of thier training. Upon pick up, Dryus showed us the commands they worked on and how to stay consistent with Apollo's training. He sent us home with knowledge and training aids to keep Apollo on track. Apollo had been home for 1 week and I tell you what....SHOULD HAVE GONE TO DRYUS EALIER. Apollo is listening and learning more and we have the knowledge on how to reenforce positive behavior. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Dyrus has done wonders with NOLA. He is so patient and has this calmness about him. NOLA spent 2 weeks with Dyrus, he kept me updated with messages, pictures and videos of their training. After 2 weeks it was time to train me. Dyrus spent time explaing everything to me and had me repeat all the steps so I would be able to continue with NOLA's training and future. He was so patient with me and answered all my questions then and even now when I reach out to him, he's there to reassure me. The next dog I get and everyone after that will go to Dyrus for training. NOLA was trained but never lost his sillt personality.
