Back to Basics Dog Training

We rescued an abandoned and abused 8yo hound. He was tied to a tree for who knows how long. After we took care of Peanut’s immediate health needs, we reached out to Leon to help ensure we are doing the right things to acclimate Peanut into our family, especially with our existing dog. Leon was amazing. He was patient, incredibly knowledgeable and truly dedicated to the health and wellbeing of our family and dogs. With Leon’s help, we were able to gain Peanut’s trust. Peanut quickly became part of our family rhythm. Certainly not without a lot of structure, time and effort. But we would not have been able to do all this without Leon’s help. Highly recommend him to anyone with a rescue dog (or any dog!).

I cannot recommend Leon and Back to Basics highly enough! Our experience with him has been nothing short of transformative. When we first came to him, our dogs were struggling with serious behavior issues, including one with food aggression. We were at our wits' end and unsure how to handle it. From the moment we started working with Leon, his humane techniques and training methods made a world of difference. He truly understands dogs and their behavior, and he tailors his approach to fit each individual dog's needs. The progress we've seen has been remarkable. Thanks to his guidance, our dogs are now well-behaved and much happier. It's incredible to see how quickly they responded to his training. The skills and techniques he taught us are not just effective; they have stuck with us, making our home a much more peaceful and enjoyable place. Leon has changed our lives for the better. We are so grateful for his expertise, patience, and passion for helping dogs and their owners. If you're looking for a dog trainer who truly cares and delivers results, look no further! Thank you, Leon, for everything!
