Introduction
I’m Pete, your personal family dog trainer for the Bay Area. I consider my work a Community Service. I teach dog owners, and dogs, how to communicate with each other. It’s our job to understand our dogs, and to find the best way that works for them rather than forcing them into a one-size-fits-all mold. If you're striving to learn how to raise and train a happy and healthy dog – I’m your man. My sessions usually last for 2 hours

Pete was my first trainer ever that I've hired for my 9 month old GS, and thanks to him, im moving forward to do my homework on keeping my dog happy. As a dog owner, im very grateful for Pete, who came to teach me how to work with my dog. And create that bond with the family pet. Thank you, Pete, for the time you gave me and my dog.

Pete was calm and patient in dealing with our demanding, sometimes aggressive Frenchie. After 45 minutes, he had her listening to him and walking next to him. He taught us some very valuable training techniques, and how we can be better owners. Definitely worth the investment!

Details: 2 - 10 years old • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • Private lessons • Aggressive behavior modification • Leash pulling • Barking • Biting • My home, venue, etc.

Pete spent a couple of hours with us pointing out many areas where we could make improvement in the way we interacted with our dog. He talked through our issues showed us how to work on them and then helped us practice. We had many things to work on so we have not conquered them all yet but in just a week we have made major progress and we are all enjoying the training he shared. If we need more help I would gladly call Pete.

We were very impressed with the help from one session. We had a good start, but sometimes as a dog owner you hit a block of what do we do now??? And the answer is, hire a Pro who can guide you in extensive out of the box dog training. We had one session and like most first time dog owners we were not understanding the respect we should be demanding from our puppy. Buddy was really responsive, due to the session. It helped us understand the pecking order of our family, and Buddy was #1; all backwards. Although common with first time dog owners, we got a lot of activities to work with Buddy. Helping him to understand what we needed from him, and him understanding what to expect from us.

I appreciate your positive review, but like to remind you, it's not me that counts in raising your dog . . . it is you and you deserve all the credit. I consider my work a community service. :-)

Pete was the right dog trainer for our dog Morenci. His method of Behavior Training was awesome, to see that Morenci was actually following was amazing.Pete showed us how to build up Morenci’s Confident, which we didn’t know that Morenci needed it. Pete taught my husband and I how to train Morenci. He said “I train people, not dogs” We are so happy to have Pete come into our house and train Us, to help our puppy to be a obedient and happy dog. I highly recommend Pete to anyone needing a Behavior Trainer. Thank you so much Pete, for helping Us raise Morenci into a very well behaved dog.

Thank you Remy. I advocate for dog not people. I help dogs with issues they may have with their owners :-).
