I highly recommend David, I don't think you'll find anyone else with such an extensive and impressive resume. He returns calls and texts in response to your questions as quickly as he can. I had interviewed 4 trainers, but I was sold on David within minutes of speaking to him. You really have to look at their experience and years in the profession, and David's was the most impressive, which I felt more than qualified him to train our two dogs. We adopted another dog from the shelter, and our first female would not accept the new female in the house, she was was very territorial and attacked the new dog. We feel very confident that David can help us with dog on dog aggression.

It was too terrible to walk Bluey, so we stopped. David was our third trainer. We didn't know how much a competent trainer could help. On the first day, he taught us what to do, and Bluey was like a new dog. David is certainly someone I would work with again. David was patient and clear as he demonstrated how to walk him without the battle. We attend his weekly sessions and our dog is the well-behaved member of our family we always wanted.

We are very pleased with the training we received from Dave. We followed Dave’s direction and saw a wonderful transformation in our wild rescue pup. Very knowledgeable trainer. Dave is a five-star trainer.

My dog was borderline crazy. Dave turned into an amazing dog and good citizen. We simply love working with Dave. And our dog can’t wait for the next training session.
