Canine Behavior Specialists Network

We’ve completed two out of the four lessons, and we already see a dramatic difference in our 70 pound lab mix. We came to Wayne (the proprietor) by happenstance while reaching out to trainers regarding our dog’s human and dog aggression issues. Wayne has a different approach. He made it very clear that he is a behaviorist. This is what he does. He has worked with many aggressive dogs, and I was instantly impressed by his knowledge and qualifications. Wayne is all about fixing your dog. He may not come off as the touchy-feely type, but I very well think he may have saved our dog. For that, I can’t thank him enough, and I trust he can help others with their dog’s issues too. Follow up: We finished the training with Wayne in February 2019. We stuck to the regimen, and our dog is doing awesome. A dog that once required us to avoid having contact with anyone or anything outside the family unit is now able to join us on our outings to restaurants, stores, and walks in high traffic areas. We can now have guests in our home without fear of her aggression. I can’t say enough how much we appreciate the lessons Wayne taught us and the support he offered. If you’re on the fence about who to go with, I highly recommend this business.

Wayne was really great with my dog he never once actually physically touched my dog which I thought was pretty great cuz my dog has severe anxiety issues especially with men. My dog's anxiety issues were so bad that he was scared to go in and out of doorways he was scared of new things in the house so when we started training I started to see all of those issues reduce in severity greatly , we still have little anxiety issues here and there with new things on our walks, he's afraid of a lot of stuff (garbage cans,work trucks, traffic cones...) but in time he'll learn to not be afraid. I called Wayne out to train my dog because at the time I couldn't get him to do anything more than sit and now my dog sits and he stays, he down stays, greats people while sitting at the door and he walks on a leash without pulling me. The leash is actually loose, I have to pull in the slack so that he doesn't trip on it! I still have training to do to fully refined my dog but without the guidance from Wayne my dog wouldn't be where he's at right now and the great thing about all of it is is if I have any issues with my dog throughout the duration of his life Wayne is more than happy to come out and help me fix whatever issues are happening.

Wayne was tremendous to work with. We have a very unique dog, to say the least, and he has tremendous issues with separation anxiety. Wayne helped us with different ways to reclaim order in our house. Wayne also adjusted his training to fit our dog specifically, offering a variety of solutions until we found which one fit our boy the best. I highly recommend Wayne to anyone having issues. Well worth the investment!

Wayne with Canine Behavior Specialists has proven to be an excellent trainer for my Australian Cattle Dog, Darwin as well as a great teacher for me and my fiancée. We initially contacted Canine Behavior Specialists for behavior modification, but found that through Wayne’s obedience methods many of the issues we experienced were resolved. This is our second time using a dog trainer - our older Blue Heeler went through a board and train program with another company - so we have previous experience to compare with this. The in-home service Wayne provides is, in my opinion, a much better way to go.
