"You have changed my neurotic 100 pound Mal into a well behaved, happy, kid friendly member of my family."

Owner’s Reported Problem: Dog is afraid of her 10 year old grandson and all children in general. Dog also will not get into car. Owner unable to transport to vet if emergency arises.

Training Result: Significantly more comfortable with grandson and all active children. Now climbing into vehicles on own and able to travel with him without stress.

“There I was with a rescued 2 year old Alaskan that was getting bigger and stronger by the minute – with new behavior issues every day. And my biggest fear was his fear – of young children and getting into my car. You have changed my neurotic 100 pound Mal into a well behaved, happy, kid friendly member of my family.  He gets in cars when invited, sits quietly during the drive, waits to exit until invited, and he and his sister even pulled my grandson, Jeremy, on his “Heelys” during our latest training session – and didn’t bat an eye at the neighbor boy running past him on his skateboard. Thank you, Peter!

"...we were so grateful to you for all of your expertise. "

Owner’s Reported Problem: Dog had separation anxiety and fearful of crate.

Training Result: Dog now calm and relaxed and loves to spend time in crate.

“I just wanted to tell you that you are a miracle worker.  On Saturday night, Gary and I were watching TV.  I had earlier placed Ling Ling's blanket in the crate downstairs.  The next thing you know Ling Ling is sleeping on her blanket in the crate.  That was a first and we were so grateful to you for all of your expertise.  She slept for hours.  Thanks again for all of your help!”
