About
I do not make false promises. My techniques work. We concentrate on communicating to your dog in his own language. I have never met or talked to any other trainer/handler that teaches the groundwork that I teach. This is the "secret" that sets the stage for all future interaction with your dog. A dog that is well-mannered and obedient is a dog whose world can grow to the extent his guardian/owner is willing. Too many dogs are left at home because of their behavior, some tethered outside, banished from their pack. Some, lose their lives, unadoptable and dangerous, merely doing their best at what they mistakenly feel they should. Jumping up (on you or visitors), Leash Pulling, Lunging through doorways, Mouthing, all of these are easy fixes. The first three are done in complete silence. (No one is 'whispering'.) My greatest satisfaction is to be told I am no longer needed because a dog and human finally understand each other.

As a first time dog owner, David provided us with the tools and training that we needed. His experience and knowledge was evident from the moment he arrived at our house and interacted with our puppy. David provided 4 hours of extensive training,some of which had immediate results for our puppy, Tucker. We have been using everything that David has taught us and we are continuing to see improvements with each and every day. Our family can not say enough good things about David as he has truly helped these "first time puppy owners". We highly recommend him!

David provided four hours of extensive training for me, a first time puppy owner, and my puppy. I saw immediate results that carried over after he left. I still have work to do with my puppy, but knowing I can call David for advice any time is a blessing. I can't image anyone else providing so much knowledge and so many training techniques with positive results in such a short period of time. I highly recommend him. He'll become your new best friend!

Thank you Janet. Give yourself full credit for your dog. Starting training as a puppy is the best way to develop a great companion.

From the moment David arrived he was awesome! I never thought my dog could obey commands, but by the end of the 4 hour training she was starting to catch on, and David had great control of her. He has left us with a great understanding of how to continue training our dog, and we are excited to apply the principles on a daily basis. I HIGHLY recommend David if you are considering a dog trainer, he's the best!

David is a phenomenal trainer. We have a 1 1/2 year old pit mix rescue. We had only had him a week when David came over for training. In just one session, our dog made major strides in all areas of training. David went above and beyond expectations and even helped us with an incident at a dog park where our dog was attacked by another dog, by showing us how to safely separate the dogs and protect our dog from the aggressor dog. After following David's instructions for the following week we have continued to see improvements. We get complements about our well behaved dog when we are out in public. I recommend that anyone looking for a dog trainer contact David at A Best Friend Certified Dog Training.
