Introduction

The world of dog training can be a confusing place, especially for first-time owners looking for information about training their new puppy or adult dog. The internet only adds to this confusion with conflicting advice as well as claims of “training revolution” and “training secrets.” What is most important, is a healthy relationship. Bonding and trust are a must before any meaningful training takes place. Also, with most dogs, obedience training is not as important as strictly maintaining daily rules and routines. Understanding this concept will open the door for success! I come to your home to teach you how this is done. Any questions, call me.

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 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.

Pete was very patient with my 4 year old mini schnauzer with aggression and anxiety issues. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave me some helpful tips and advice that I have used since our training session. I can already see a big improvement in his behavior.

Our session with Pete was an excellent sanity check for our training efforts with our rescue puppy Miles. Our dog didn't have any major behavioral issues, but needed some work on leash etiquette and recall. He focused on training us - i.e. taught us how to fish. :) I appreciated his common sense tips, detailed training manual, and product recommendations.
