Gary is an amazing dog trainer who is always improving his techniques and approaches based on new studies and revelations. About 14 years ago he helped train our black lab Molly who had just had eye surgery. Naturally, she could not be jerked with the leash or anything like that. He did an amazing job helping us understand what motivated her (food) and how to use these motivations to teach her what we wanted her to do. She is still the best dog in the world and we always smile when people tell us how good she is. As we all know a good dog is really a dog that has been through training and whose “parents” spend the time with her. Gary was absolutely amazing, encouraging us, helping us to be better as praising her and getting the results we all wanted.
Fast forward to today where we now have a new lab puppy and needed a new trainer. We found Gary again! Whew! Wow, what a difference 14 years has made. Gary told us about the new techniques all based on new studies that have changed how he trains. We were amazed that he takes the time to stay up to date with the lastest and has taught us “old dogs” some new tricks! Our puppy is going great, she is a joy to be with and I know we are laying a great foundation to make her as good as Molly (one can wish).
If you are looking for a trainer who:
– Listens to your concerns
– Applies the latest in dog psychology and learning
– Is super positive and funny
Then Gary is your guy. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.
