Fred really helped us save Gracie. She was a rescue that had issues sharing a home with another dog. He helped her settle, and greatly decreased her resource guarding. She and Odin are doing much better.

Fred is absolutely amazing! He worked with my dog Cricket, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. Cricket can be a bit of a handful—smart, high-energy, and very attached to her routines—but Fred was calm, patient, and incredibly skilled from moment one.
He took the time to understand Cricket’s personality and tailored his approach to what worked best for her. The training session was both fun and effective, and it provided me with numerous helpful tips that I could apply at home. Cricket responded so well to Fred’s positive, consistent methods—and I saw real progress in her behavior, focus, and confidence.
What I appreciated most was how much Fred genuinely cared about building a trusting relationship with both me and Cricket. It wasn’t just about teaching commands—it was about improving communication and creating a better bond between us.
If you're looking for someone who knows dogs inside and out and truly loves what they do, I wholeheartedly recommend Fred. Cricket and I are both so grateful!

Fred's work with our Belgian Dutch has given remarkable results within days of him training. My dogs behavioral improvements are significant, and we are extremely grateful for his expertise. She no longer runs on stays on command and doesn't drag me with the leash. We also received comprehensive guidance to continue her training outside of training with Fred, and we are already seeing substantial progress. We highly recommend Fred's services for anyone seeking professional assistance with real results!! Thank you so much Fred and we look forward to continuing working with you!

Mr Fred is a delight and was so fantastic in his interactions with our nervous pup. He took his time to really understand what we and our canine companion needed and gave us a well structured plan to work on. Highly recommend.

My husband and I rescued a beautiful pit bull with separation anxiety and fear of her crate. Fred came in with his low key peaceful vibe and won our pet as well as my husband and I over. After only one session, my dog didn’t wet the floor when she was alone or knock things over. She is now eating in her crate.(with the door open) I am looking forward to our next session! Thanks Fred!
