TESTIMONIALS

Randy's first thought is ALWAYS for the dogs in his care. He is as good at training owners how to handle their dogs as he is at training the dogs themselves, something we found was extremely important

Randy has a love and passion for dogs and teaching. He has a direct, no nonsense, yet thoughtful style of instruction. Like a great coach that you can tell truly loves his players. He was very clear that he would and he did do everything he could to make sure that if we did our part we would be successful in developing basic obedience skills with our dog. He was very mindful to adjust the curriculum and intensity to an appropriate level for my little girl. He didn't let up on holding us accountable for practicing what he taught us and I am incredibly thankful for that. My daughter was instructed to be the handler from the start. By our 5th training session my daughter looked like a mini dog whisperer. In the end my daughter has her dog responding to commands. I receive compliments that my dog is so well behaved and does so well listening to me. The unexpected gift is that my daughter has grown beyond measure in the process and is not the same kid she was when we started and frankly I'm not the same either. We are all better for it.

Randy's balanced training methods were effective for my two stubborn and energetic Weimaraners. He does not try to change a dog's spirit, but instead determines how they best respond to correction and reward. He quickly bonded with my dogs and always showed them love after a correction. By balancing correction with affection and reward, my dogs learned quickly and never lost the wonderful and wacky qualities of the breed. Over the years, I had been trained much differently and Randy probably spent more time retraining me, but with lots of practice between sessions, I was able to quickly see results. Behavior issues at home began to disappear once my dogs began to view me as their pack leader. Training takes consistent work but I know that if I ever need a refresh or to train at a more advanced level, I can count on Randy always.

Randy is an amazing trainer! I originally contacted him after adopting Tank, our pit bull mix puppy. I was surprised how quickly Tank learned obedience and to walk so well on a leash. He recently completed Randy's Advanced program, and we are so happy with how well behaves.During our lessons, I discussed with Randy the challenges we'd had with our 4 1/2 year old shepherd mix, Daisy, who had previously been to a board and train. She was obedient at home, but still struggled on walks with leash pulling and aggression towards other dogs, which caused me anxiety when I would see other dogs approaching . After meeting Daisy, Randy determined that she was very well trained, but that I had not been properly trained

to work with her. She is very protective, so I needed to gain confidence, to learn to take the lead and make sure she knew that I was in charge. He created a lesson plan for us and towards the end we practiced walking both Daisy and Tank together with other dogs around. I learned so much from Randy and highly his services. I wish I had found him earlier!

I don't normally take the time to type up reviews. I tend to do so when I am extremely dissatisfied with something or over the top thrilled with one. I rescued a dog from Helen Woodward last August and at the start had zero plans to get her professional training. She was horrendous on a leash, didn't follow basic commands,

ate socks, chewed up the yard, and had a few scuffles at the dog park. She became unruly. I went through interviewing and trying out 3 different trainers, even considered board and train. After 3 months, I was at my wits end with her. I was referred to Randy by a fellow dog lover from the park. I didn't have high expectations

that she could be helped. However, I decided to give Randy a shot after having a quick conversation with him on the phone. Fast forward a few months later and I can honestly say, choosing Randy for training has been the best decision I could have ever made for my dog. At first I only considered the basic package (obedience

training), but in the end have chosen to complete advanced training. We have 3 more lessons and the change in our dog is remarkable. From day one, Randy's approach was clear, structured, and refreshingly no-nonsense. There’s no fluff, no gimmicks—just a deep understanding of dog behavior and a commitment to training not

just the dog, but us humans on how to manage them. If I would have selected a Board and Train, it would have cost me DOUBLE! I would have had to take my dog to to Randy as well, so that he could teach ME how to get her to listen to my commands, not just the trainer. Randy helped develop focus, confidence, and consistency in away I didn’t think was possible. Every session had purpose, and the expectations were always communicated clearly—for both me and my dog. What I appreciated most is that he doesn't just train your dog—he teaches YOU how to lead your dog effectively. That level of accountability made all the difference. On top of his stellar training, the outdoor locations he trains in were safe, convenient and easily accessed. He was also very flexible with training times, which certainly helps when you're juggling kids, a job and a busy household. Randy loves dogs and it's apparent in his teaching. If you’re looking for someone who is serious about training, holds a high standard, and delivers real results, this is absolutely the spot! I can't recommend him highly enough.
