FirstBarkOur young Portuguese Water Dog was difficult to get under control. He was reactive on the leash and barking at people visiting our home. It was stressful to deal with. Scott trained our dog and gave us valuable tools in our home setting. It was a game changer and our young dog is now well behaved.

Scott was incredibly helpfully. Took the time on the phone to explain the whole process and was very accommodating. Would recommend anyone considering dog training to contact him!
Our in-home meeting with Scott was fantastic. He immediately put us (and our anxious border collie) at ease. In just one hour we are feeling more confident and after implementing some of his suggestions we are already seeing progress after one day on some issues we’ve been working on for months. If you are trying to troubleshoot something with your pup I highly recommend booking a session!

My call to Scott was a godsend. Without him I might have returned my rescue dog Holly. She was out of control and turning our household upside down. With Scott's training methods she began to transform into a calm, happy, fun member of our family. Scott is not only good with dogs, but he is an excellent trainer of humans. If you 're on the fence about asking for help, call...You won't be disappointed!

My husband and I sought out the help of Scott after the recommendation of our friends who had worked with him for at-home training sessions. We purchased four sessions with Scott to work with our 2 year old black lab Walter, and have since seen tremendous progress in his behavior. We mostly wanted to focus on leash training as he was a heavy puller, as well as recall. When we first started training we could have never imagined letting our dog off leash anywhere, and felt very confined to it. Now we are able to take him for walks completely off leash and are no longer afraid he will take off and disappear. It has been such a relief to now go out with our dog knowing it will be a pleasant experience for us, and also a fun one for our pup! Thank you for the guidance and direction Scott!
