I took my 5 1/2 month bernedoodle to Mr Ralph for training. It was the best choice for us. I learned as much as my dog! My puppy went from being a little out of control to becoming a delight. She no longer pulls me around the yard or has other bad manners. She is still a puppy with lots of energy, but she is very attuned to my desires. She is becoming the dog of my dreams because Ralph has taught me how to teach her. So worth the cost of the training. I have an obedient, happy puppy. Thanks Ralph!

We had Ralph train our 8 month old dutch shepard ("Cash")
Ralph did an excellent job, we enjoyed watching him perform his magic with our boy and was amazed at how well Cash listened to his every command! We finished training at the beginning of August 2023 and Cash gets better everyday, couldn't have done it without Ralph! We would highly recommend Atlantic Coast K-9!

Ralph and Atlantic Coast K-9 helped our 1 year old pup start to come into his own. At the 1st session of the 5-week program, our dog was submissive, timid, and most of all, lacked confidence. Over the 5 weekly trainings, Ralph both taught our dog, as well as us as owners, the commands and methods to back up those commands. He also gave us tips on how to build more confidence in our dog. By the end of the program, Ralph had taught our dog everything listed in the description of the program, as well as a few extras. Our dog is far more well-behaved, and is truly working on coming into his own thanks to Atlantic Coast K-9. We highly recommend them to any dog owner.

Had Ralph work with my german shepherd, Ralph is very thorough and patient when working with dogs. Ralph will stop and answer questions if you have any. A very friendly and helpful person. I would recommend that if you are looking for a trainer I suggest you contact Ralph
