About
Most dog trainers do not understand or practice dog psychology. In my opinion dog psychology is just as important, if not more so, than the training itself. By understanding how a dog thinks and learns it becomes much easier to teach them. It is also much easier for a dog to learn commands when the trainer knows how a dog naturally thinks and learns.
I always recommend that people confirm their trainer uses positive reinforcement (but not treats), and that the trainer understands at least basic dog psychology.

From the moment Travis walked in our house, he was already helping us! He was able to shed light on how our siberian huskies were communicating with us. We spent most of our time working on walking our two dogs. I'm very happy to say that on just my second time working with the dogs on my own, i was able to walk them at the same time. I am 9 months pregnant, so walking one hadn't been enjoyable. Travis taught us how the dogs pick up on my body language so they have stopped trying to be pack leader as much. I love the positivity of the training, it is definitely something i can and will stick with. He was prompt, caring, thorough and affordable. We will definitely call him again and recommend him to our friends.

We decided early on that we wanted to get our adopted puppy training. After interviewing several different trainers we decided to go with Travis and we couldn't have made a better decision!! He was great. Our puppy Brutus came back from his training and he was the most well trained puppy I have ever encountered! We always get compliments on his demeanor and how well he listens. He is always the bet dog at the dog park and the teachers at doggy day care absolutely adore him.
Even after we moved we were able to call Travis with some questions about Brutus (that is our puppy) and some new behavior and he was more than helpful and informative. We would highly recommend Travis to anyone looking for a dog trainer.

Travis Drake is a life saver for us and our dogs! We have to travel often and need a place we can trust to board our boxer and toy poodle. We are so grateful we found Travis Drake and Precious Treasures Dog Training. When our dogs arrived the first time they felt right at home with the other animals. Travis takes a personal interest in the dogs he boards and trains. They aren't just a "number" to him! He takes care of each pet as though it was his own, and you can be assured that they are in a safe environment, receive personal attention, and love! I would recommend that anyone leave their pets with Travis to board or train! He does a fantastic job!

We never knew our dog was no proper or trained until Chris got with her. He worked miracles with her. Our dog is a boxer - so everyone knows the energy that comes along with that.. Our friends even say I liked your dog before, but I love your dog now. She is so calm, and respectful as well as alert. She walks well on a leash (I thought walking ahead of me was normal) NOPE now she walks beside me and waits for me. She doesn't jump on my or anyone else anymore. She will wait for us, she will sit calmly and give plenty of distance. He even taught her some off leash so she can walk out side with us WITH OUT A LEASH.. CHRIS THANK YOU.. you are a true GIFT FROM GOD! You will always be our trainer and anytime we need to board her.. she will come to you!! THANKS CHRIS!!

Travis is awsome! He trained my German Shepherd and my Rottweiler. My Shepherd needed basic obedience training and she now hangs on my every word. My Rottweiler was strong willed and sometimes aggressive. He is now a very enjoyable part of our family. He obeys my every command, is calm and does not show a bit of aggression! Travis has a positive energy with the dogs and taught me how to have that same energy. I highly recommend that you have him train your dog too. He is the only dog trainer that I found that guarantees his training for the life of the dog. That should tell you something right there.
