Cedar Valley Canine is amazing. We brought our stray pit bull to them and after two weeks Dave had taught us and our pup how to communicate effectively and the results are outstanding. We found a second stray pit and we are certainly going to use Cedar Valley to train her as well. His property is gorgeous and we love his hipster reclaimed barn wood fence.
Dave Taylor is an excellent trainer! I am grateful to be able to take them to work as therapy dogs, and know that they are skilled protection tools as well!!

If you are in need of a dog trainer for your family pet call Dave Taylor !!! Our family has two young dogs who were in need of training and possible one parent who needed training. Dave was wonderful. He explained the process and the reasoning behind the training. He also told me why we chose certain commnad words and what signal the dog was getting from different commands and hand manuevers.Both our dogs have improved greatly and when we folllow Daves suggestions and contnue reinforcing their training they respond beautifully. I think its usually the owners who need training the most. Thanks Dave --your the best Kathryn Brown
