"I just wanted to thank you so very much for helping my new puppy, Peterman, and I to have a better understanding of each other, and a much better relationship! You showed me more than I expected in a consultation and I saw an immediate difference in Peterman.

I thank you so much for your wisdom, and for your willingness to travel to help us. Your training has brightened our relationship and has given us a great future together. Walking him is more of a pleasure. Playing with him is much more fun (less biting), and his bathroom issues are well on there way to being resolved!

Your gentle approach and wonderful advice has proved to be remarkable. Now my biggest problem is training my mom and brother....any tips!! Thanks again Peter!"

"Being a first-time dog owner, when I initially adopted Rascal I was more than apprehensive about everything to do with my new puppy. I am so thankful that we found you to help both of us! Your skill and expertise were evident from the first consultation and I am supremely grateful for your patience with my many questions about everything “dog”. You have been so generous with your knowledge and time and have consistently gone above and beyond my expectations. I think that the six hours were spent training me even more than Rascal, and thankfully so because he truly is much better behaved as a result. He is still a puppy and doing puppy things, but you have helped me understand him better and have equipped me to handle situations as they arise. Thank you for providing me with effective tools to be a better leader and a happier pet-owner. I am certain that Rascal thanks you too!"

“Lucy has been doing great!  I think we really have going outside to pee down good.  She is good at sit and we are still working on stay for longer periods of time.  That will come. Going for walks is still somewhat of a struggle but better than it was. She is more likely to come to her name as long as we follow the directions you gave us. She is progressing forward and we are happy with her progress.
