Not recommended. I called to inquire about dog behavior training. I spoke to Bob and explained the situation. He began speaking in circles and not making much sense, while laughing through the conversation. He was not addressing my concerns, instead speaking of my dog barking at the neighbors, which was NOT the concern I first spoke of. When I tried to tell him that I was trying to understand what he was suggesting, he told me that he was going to hang up on me because he "did not have time for this nonsense." I asked, "Are you serious?" and then he hung up me.

Best dog trainer in the area. He trained my rottweiler and then 9 years later trained my boerboel. Leave your feelings at the door and listen to what he is telling you. If you do, you will see the results.

Brought a somewhat aggressive purebred German Shepherd to Bob. It was like night and day. This dog is magnificent obedient and trustworthy. I credit that to Bob and Jodi. Be prepared to do the work. Bob is exceptional.

I have done many classes with other trainers in the past with my dogs over many years. I was very happy with bob and all of his assistants. Just remember, it’s not just the class and then your dog is “trained”! You have to do the work at home with all your shown in class. You and your dog will get out of it what you put in. I really appreciate Bob’s laid-back personality but he has a incredible background and experience that clearly shows in each class. It follows very logical and progressive steps to deal with problematic behavior and he is never stuck in a “one way for every dog” way to handle what you’re dealing with. We are happily continuing our training with Bob and crew.

Bob knows exactly how a dog thinks and acts! Don't expect to just go to the classes and your dog will be perfectly behaved. You need to work with your dog between classes. He's worked with probably all breeds and temperaments and knows how train them all. He's low key and gives you all the information to successfully train your dog.
