I can’t say enough good things. When we started training my puppy had virtually no training at all and she was taking over the house trying to be the alpha. She was instigating fights over resources. After only about a month (5 sessions) she’s a completely different pup. She listens, she’s playful with my other dog now and doesn’t start fights. David is a pro at what he does and my dog loves him, she runs right over to him at each training lol. He is very calm and reassuring and has helped to build not only my puppies confidence but my own as well. You will NOT be disappointed if you choose heightened instincts for your training needs.

Details: 6 - 12 months old • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • Private lessons • General obedience training • House training • Biting • My home, venue, etc.

David did an outstanding job training my 2-year-old Blue Heeler mix, Togo, who was highly reactive. Thanks to David's expertise, patience, and professionalism, Togo has made remarkable progress—including becoming off-leash trained. His reactivity has significantly improved, and he is now much more confident and well-behaved in various environments. David’s calm and methodical approach, combined with his clear communication and deep experience, made the entire training process smooth and effective. He tailored the training to suit Togo’s specific needs, ensuring consistent progress. I truly appreciate David’s dedication and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer

Details: 1 - 2 years old • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • I'm flexible • General obedience training • Leash pulling • Barking • Destructive behavior • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Thank you Vamsi! It has been great seeing the progress you've made with Togo! He's come a long way and definitely enjoys the freedom of off-leash. Keep up the good work!

David has been a great trainer for our two reactive dogs, with one of which having a long history of being dog reactive. In four sessions we see great improvement in our dogs behavior in terms of walking loose leash and staying calmer around other dogs. On top of that, David is punctual, professional and communicative, and overall an excellent trainer.

Details: 2 - 10 years old • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • Private lessons • Aggressive behavior modification • Leash pulling • Barking • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

David has been a great trainer/educator, he’s not only changed my dogs behavior in two sessions but has been great on helping me understand what he’s doing and why he’s doing it. I personally recommend David he’s for easy scheduling, has great communication, and is a great dog trainer.

I was very content with David. Due to my situation, my dog had to live with my parents and needed extra training especially if my brothers and parents were taking over his care. David would communicate and let us know ahead of time when he couldnt make and reschedule. He was very flexible when we also had to reschedule, very understanding and kind. He was also kind enough to work with us in the payments, it was tight for our budget but we were able to do seperate payments to give us time in between each payment for the 800$ of 6 sessions, which was the special he had going on. He would meet us at home and then at a park of our picking and work with my family and my german shephard. I loved the way he handled my dog and worked with him. Makimg sure my family felt comfortable with each thing he was working on for the training! Highly recommend! Sadly i cant add videos but here are a few pictures of my baby
