When we brought home our 8 week old labradoodle, Wally, he was extremely anxious. When we took him to group puppy trainings he would end up hiding under my chair, he was cautious of people and other dogs. We ended up calling Gary and having him come out for a consultation.

I remember how much my wife and I learned in that first consultation session. He was able to read Wally’s behavior and give us tips as to how to get him more comfortable around others as well as provided advice that heavily expedited house breaking. We ended up enjoying working and talking with Gary so much that we ended up getting a further 6 sessions.

By the next session, a week later, it was like night and day. Now, all of this doesn’t even include the great training that we received. What I really liked about Gary was that he took the time to explain the why around everything we did and you could see all of the research, experience, etc. come through. Understanding the why also made it much easier for myself and my wife to quickly learn and remember the commands.

We really loved working with Gary and he was kind to the entire family. All of us learned a tremendous amount in those 6 sessions. Definitely would recommend him hands down, and we will definitely engage with him moving forward if we want to do further training with Wally or if we were ever to get another puppy.
