"We have seen such great changes to Rudy and Lexie lately and we owe so much to you. Thank you Ron for all of your training practices and advice for our family. Just when we thought that their behavior was getting to be too much for us, we were fortunate enough to find you. Although, its still a gradual process, Rudy and Lexie have improved so much and now respond to the commands that you taught us and take long walks without leading us. Rudy’s socialization problems have definitely diminished and he interacts better with other dogs when he goes out now. Our family no longer needs earplugs for Lexie’s high screeching and demanding bark, as it has subsided a bit. We have also reclaimed our couches as our own sitting area and not Rudy and Lexie’s running track. Overall we couldn’t be more pleased with all of these improvements!" -Laura, Lou, & Fran B. |

"Marley is doing very well! I can't believe what a turnaround he has made from a crazy, wild, unresponsive puppy to a less crazy, less wild, responsive puppy! I know he has a little spunk in him but it's nice to be able to tell him to "Sit" and have him actually listen. His "Down" has been great and he now can get up and down the stairs faster than I can. He is going to the bathroom outside now and has not had much need for the wee wee pad anymore. Right now, I'm okay with his walks. Usually we do a slow walk so that he can use the bathroom, look around, etc. Then on the way home, we run this way he can burn off all his excess energy! If I do start to have any problems with him, I'll be sure to call you! There's nobody else I'd trust to get the job done." -Jessica K. |

"We just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for us and Lucy. We are very pleased with your training and with all the progress she has made. She is turning out to be a perfect dog for us. Right now she is laying next to me on the floor chewing her favorite toy! Thanks again for everything!!" -Christine L. & Pat |

"Thank you so much for your help with Baci. We are walking him now, instead of him dragging us down the block. The "Gentle Leader" has made a world of difference. Baci's overall behavior has improved, and we can enjoy our dinner now without him being as obnoxious." -Nicole S. |

"The training with Ron really made a difference regarding Sammy's behavior. Sammy doesn't seem as anxious and Ron helped us to train Sammy to sleep in his crate at night instead of sleeping in our bed even after 2 years of him sleeping with us! Ron was very informative and patient!" -Stacey & Gian D. |
|
"Our German Shepherd, Vello chased animals on walks, pulled and bossed us around. After our daughter was born he became extremely difficult... aggressive even with people he had met before. The training has transformed Vello. I am able to walk him and actually enjoy it now. There is no pulling on leash... Vello is completely manageable on walks. There has been improvement in his behavior with guests... after his training two guests walked Vello without incident." -Lisa and Matthew D. |

From the time of your first visit there has been a tremendous change for the better. Brandy is an absolute delight." -Cory and Irwin B. & Brandy, Misty and Heidi |

"Three months ago, I was reluctant to adopt Wendy due to her size and incredible strength. I couldn't leash walk her since I had no control. She was constantly pulling which created a dangerous situation for both of us. Instead of looking forward to our walks together, I dreaded them! I enlisted the help of my vet, who highly recommended you for training. -Gail C. |

"Before we called you, we were struggling with Harry. He was constantly nipping at us and resource guarding. After just a few sessions with you, the nipping has stopped and the resource guarding is under control!! Harry was transformed into an obedient dog that we can finally now snuggle with!! Not only did Harry learn from you but we did too!! What we learned from you for Harry, we now use with our new puppy, Rusty, who is being trained with great ease. Thank you Ron!! " -Tracy, Mike, Harry & Rusty |

We can't thank you enough." -Jack's family, Michele, Marie & Liza P. |

"For the first two weeks after adopting Peety he was a complete angel. Then Peety became comfortable with us. Very very comfortable. Too comfortable. He started using our son as his favorite chew toy, ate area rugs and dragged us down the street when ever we tried to "walk" him. He was clearly in control and we were all captive. Thanks for coming to the rescue, and not a moment too soon. In three lessons you taught the whole family how to be the best dog owners we could be without making us feel embarrassed or silly. Even Peety is grateful." -Barbara & Alan P. |
|
|
"Ron, you have taken an anxious dog and taught me how to calm him by teaching both Elwood and I who is in charge. I learned how to be the Alpha/Benevolent Leader of the family, thereby calming my bestfriend and making him feel safe." -Melissa N. & Elwood |

"We owe you so much. You gave us our Snuggles back! It's 5:37 PM and he hasn't circled around once!! He is his old lovable huggable self again. All the advice you gave us is working like a charm. The best part is he doesn't seem too interested in his foot with the sore on it anymore. I can't tell you how grateful I am for your help, advice kindness and caring.."

"Just wanted to say thanks for helping me out with the girls!! Sami is learning who the 'real' boss is and Leela is feeling a bit more confident about herself these days! I am happy to report that we have much less aggression from Sami, even during feeding time, and the water gun works wonders!! Thanks for all of your time and help with my puppies! " -Allison E. |

"I want to thank you for showing my Beanee how to be a real gentleman. His barking and frantic behavior are, it seems, much a thing of the past -- unbelievable! It was a pleasure meeting you and working with you -- and I imagine I will be in touch with you again. My daughter (who has the brand new King Cavalier puppy) visited this weekend, and was so impressed with Beanee's improved behavior. She would like to know if you do telephone and/or email consultations..." -Jeanne M.

"Thank you so much for all of your help with MJ. She has come a long way. She is much more grown up and hopefully is getting the fact that she's not in charge! We really do appreciate the amount of time that you spent with us and all of the tools you have given us to make MJ a more well behaved member of our family. I will keep you updated on her progress." -Liz, Jay and MJ R.

"Thanks for all your support! Without your help, I don't think these few weeks would have been so successful. It's amazing! From nipper and complainer to listener and obedient. It was a worth while journey! Thank you, Ron!" -Jen M. |

"He is maturing in leaps and bounds and seems to be settling into his age frame. Still same old crazy Shamus at times but we love him nonetheless. Thank you for helping us with him and anybody that asks for a trainer we always recommend you." -Ed, Ellen, Matthew M.

"Theo truly has transformed into a much better behaved puppy thanks to your help and guidance! I bought the harness you recommended and taking him for a walk is much more of a pleasure now! We go every morning and he is a lot less hyper throughout the day. The leave it command truly comes in handy on our walks & when he wants to show you he's being extra good, he automatically goes into sit & down! He's so cute and your help really made him an even better companion. Thank you for taking such a genuine interest in him! Words cannot express how grateful we are!" -Katy L. |

"Thank you so much for making Jack the best he could be! We did not realize when we got him that bull dogs are a very strong, willful breed and things were reeling out of control until you came and set us on a new path with him. Not only are we happy but he seems more content with his clearly defined role in our lives and a well-established way for him to earn our love and positive attention. We knew we had rounded a corner when Jack stopped his aggressive behavior and switched to putting himself in a "sit" or "lie down" in efforts to please us or gain the attention of guests to our home. By working with the whole family you really changed our relationship with him, and have allowed us to enjoy our precious puppy. We are unbelievably grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend you to any dog owner. Thank you again!"

"We can't believe that within just 6 training sessions Damon turned into a well-behaved puppy! I'm sure you remember the first day that you came to our house…… you were greeted by a 55 pound puppy jumping on your back and just being extremely crazy! By session 4 Damon was able to greet you at the door like a well-behaved 70 pound puppy! He has mastered all of his simple commands, and taking him on a walk is much more enjoyable now. Damon understands the ranking of the pack now also. Thanks for all of your help – you trained all of us as well as Damon and we really appreciate it."

"Thank you so much for helping me solve Pepper's behavioral issues, especially growling and showing her teeth at me, guarding food and steps. I learned a lot about animal behavior and body language and was able to re-rank myself where Pepper now respects me. I was at the end of my ropes considering putting Pepper to sleep. You did a great job, hope you will continue to help me and Pepper in the future." -Barbara W. |

Garbage trucks make me shake and drool I sure wish garbage trucks didn’t rule. I finally needed help with my silly fear And like a super hero—Ron was here! We ran and walked and faced the beast I actually didn’t mind it in the least. My Mom and dad sure are good to me I have made such progress I hope they see. I still get scared but not as much Ron really has a magic touch! -Jeanne & Jim O.

"Over a 4 week program he has not only achieved significant behavioral improvements, but he has also been an invaluable resource for day to day questions.

Although we had two well behaved adult German Shepherds, we found ourselves in need of expert guidance when two additional shepherd puppies, Zoe & Trigby were added to our pack... they developed the bad habit of pulling on the leash and barking at other dogs and people. Ron came... we learned to use a head collar to make great progress in improving the behavior of two lovely but very large dogs. We now have in place rules for interacting with the dogs. Ron has great patience and a great love of the animal kingdom. Highly recommended. -Ingrid & Kevin |

"I have to tell you that the past two times we have taken him in the car he has been a pleasure. He sat in the front with me on my lap and was much more relaxed. I think he would have fallen asleep if the rides would have been longer! I'm amazed! -Elyse B. |

"As far as his bathroom problems go, we have noticed a noticeable difference. He is going in the yard more, and we are getting him outside more. We haven't noticed any accidents on the sofas and couches.We are able to tether him when his behavior gets a little overwhelming, and he is a pleasure to walk." -Susan & Mark |
|
|
"The past five weeks of training has made such a difference in the quality of our lives and our relationship and we can't thank you enough.

"Since our last session (and the week prior to that) Fas has not urinated in the house. The obstacle idea certainly worked. I will maintain it for a while to be sure that behavior is stopped. We’ve now put him on a set feeding schedule and exercise him as well. So far he’s not been destructive. Thanks for your assistance you have been a great help!" -Mahali C. |
 |

"By the way, he loves that toy you brought, pushes it around, plays with it all on his own. It is getting quite chewed up.
The other day because I was in a rush I took him out with his old collar. He acted up much more —not nearly as good as he is with "the gentle leader" collar. So that collar is a great help!" -Irene S. |
