We truly appreciate Auburn and his team! Our boys learned basic obedience, came home well-mannered and well-behaved, and were well cared for throughout their training. We also loved receiving updates and pictures while they were away. We are grateful for the care, training, and attention they received! One of our dogs was also starting to display some aggressive, resource guarding behavior, which was a major concern for us. Auburn worked with him to help bring that aggression down and taught us how to continue working with him at home so we can manage his behavior and keep making progress. One of the things that sets Auburn apart is the continued support. He has come to meet with us to make sure everything is going well with the training at home and provides ongoing guidance to help us stay on track. That continued support has been very valuable to us. We actually trusted him with our other two dogs 17 years ago, and we were so happy to come back again! That alone says so much about the trust and confidence we have in Auburn and his team. We recommend Auburn and his team to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their dogs and their success. Thank you for all your help with our boys! We truly appreciate everything you have done for them and for us!

My dog (Jack) is my baby, and my husband and I altered our lives around my dog. Jack could not walk in public without getting scared. He would constantly pull and be fearful around other dogs and people. After training with Auburn, we are able to walk our dog in public. While Jack was training with Auburn, we got video and text updates. It was so nice seeing his progression and progress with Jack. I am a bit of a worrier, and Auburn answered all of my questions. Auburn regularly reassured me and has continued to still work with us. We can see so much confidence in Jack now.

Auburn trained our female Doberman and helped tremendously with her anxiety. He is the only person we trust to board her when we are out of town. We trust him so much that he is now training our male doberman.

Until three weeks ago, our dog Bonnie had taken control of our house and even disrupted our cat's routine. She was struggling with leash walking, nipping during play, and failing to settle down until late in the evening. Thanks to Auburn Leach, we have regained control of our home. Beyond training Bonnie, he taught us how to effectively communicate with her. Bonnie is now much more calm and obedient. She is walking significantly better, leaving the cat alone, and we are truly enjoying her company.

Auburn did an amazing job with our pup. She was very wild and energetic and Auburn brought her back a well trained and disciplined puppy. What sets him apart is his caring, patience, knowledge, and he also worked with us to show us how to maintain and reinforce her training. He’s the best!
