Howard helped us train our puppy Holly for the arrival of our baby. Holly is an energetic Goldendoodle who was returned by two other families that tried to adopt her and returned since she was too energetic and difficult to calm down. We were the third family to adopt her and got her when she was close to 4 month old and had to try to have her unlearn some bad behavior. She liked to jump up and nibble on my wife’s hand, like to chase the cat around and had difficulty with accepting the crate during the daytime. We were hoping that our older dog would untrain most of her inappropriate behavior but she was a resilient puppy. We were so thankful we found Howard at Always Faithful Dog who found the “off switch” for Holly to settle down and amazingly he achieved that without using any treats. We needed about 4-5 sessions and he was always on time and at the beginning he even stayed late since it took a longer time to get Holly calm enough to be ready for training one day. Our baby was born a month ago and with Howard helping us train Holly we now feel comfortable having our puppy around our baby with us. On top of that the sessions are very reasonably priced and we appreciate that we did not have to pay a huge lump sum for lifelong dog training (as some competitors do) since we plan to move out of the area. We would highly recommend Howard to anyone for their dog training needs .

We have just started our training journey but Howard knows his stuff and we saw an amazing change in our dogs who were horrible on walks. We are looking forward to continuing to work with him and see more results. We are very impressed with the level of knowledge and his training methods.

Howard was a life savor when my Shar-Pei began showing signs of aggression and possessiveness. He did not shy away from the challenge and brought such a calm confidence in working with me and my dog. His training sessions allowed me to reflect on my behavior patterns and what I could do differently. I highly recommend working with Howard for any problem behaviors.

Thanks Danielle Your Shar-Pei is a great example of how our dogs share the good and not so good things in our lives. His response to your leadership change was exactly what he needed. 🤙🤙

Howard was great with my 1 year old german shepard. He really learned quickly and i was surprised to see how easy he made it seem to train a dog that well. We love howard!

Howard is fantastic. Our two chiweenies were horrible. Biting people in the back of their legs, barking non-stop when someone can to the door or when we walked them. And we could barely hold on to their leash’s when we walked them. In five sessions Howard had the accepting new people so we can entertain at our house, they have stopped the consent barking and they are a joy to walk. We, including the dogs, love Howard and always faithful dog training
