Just got done with the 10 session obedience training. Im totally amazed at how well my dog is responding to me now. When you sign up for the obedience training you get a book and man oh man that book is great! I learned a lot and how to keep my dog safe. And I truly enjoyed the training and learning the leash technique. There is a lot to it, but its all about communicating with you dog and being able to enjoy a well behaved pooch.

i'm leaving this review for my mom. She is so pleased and so grateful for Ron Pace. Ron Pace has helped my mom on and off for almost 11 years. He helped her train her dog when he was a puppy 11 years ago. He helped her with her invisible fence, helped her try out different collors that worked best for her Shiloh shepherd. And recently he helped her Shiloh learn to use ramps to get in and out of the car. Ron also had some great suggestions to help with arthritis and joint pain. He has been there when my mom needed him, and he always comes through for her and she said she appreciates him so much!
While positive training techniques are publicized they are not put into practice. You are encouraged to starve your dog to keep them food-oriented and then taught to hold them down on their back while biting them. I was honestly mortified after my experience and shocked that these archaic training practices were still in place.

I met Ron 10 years ago while training my first German Shepherd. I was very impressed observing classes at his facility. Recently Ron kindly agreed to evaluate a GSD that I wanted to adopt from the Humane Society and train for a service dog. I am very Thankful for his kindness, experience, knowledge as a dog trainer. I am the proud owner of a handsome GSD to train using Ron’s method “ Who’s the Boss “
