Eddie is such an amazing and skilled person, I sent my 4 year old pit mix to him. She was suffering from a lot of separation anxiety and we did the 6-7 week program. To say I'm impressed and satisfied is an understatement. Peaches came back a new dog but still with the same goofy personality. His work is amazing and incredible and when I say peaches would not get into a crate she would not but Eddie implemented crate training with her and peaches is now able to get into a crate on her own. Eddie is also a very understanding person especially with me being in college, he’s prices were amazing!!! He gave me a lot of useful information and techniques so we can keep implementing the training at home. Peaches is now a well obedient and trained dog. Thank you!!

First off let me say Eddie is a very talented man. I was actually referred to him by a friend. He was my last resort before I would have to find another home for my Harley girl. She literally destroyed my house. Chewed on every piece of furniture, the wall, the stairs, and baseboards. She would poop and pee everywhere.
I didn’t have time or the patience to train her myself.
She went to Eddie for a 6 week program. He had mentioned she was very stubborn and dealt with separation anxiety. While with him he would keep me updated and send pictures of Harley.
She came back a changed dog. Now 2 weeks later she’s still adjusting. She has had a few mishaps but I make sure to correct her and let her know who’s boss.
I like the fact she can go back for a maintenance if and when I feel she needs it. Eddie was a blessing in disguise. I say make the investment in your pup, it’s worth it. He truly cares about these dogs!

Blue was rescued at 4 months, shorty after we knew we needed help, we did all the youTube but it was not effective. Blue was increasingly fixated, aggressive and territorial.
We contacted Eddie and ultimately ended up doing the 6 week training. During the 6 weeks we got updates daily. He sent pictures and targeted the areas of importance to our family which were safety and being able to take Blue out in public.
Blue has been home almost 2 months now and we can say that he is another dog. He is happy and relaxed. He follows directions and is not fixated. Following the tasks and recommendations from Eddie daily has helped us establish a routine and ultimately keep Blue. We would recommend Critical thinking dog service because Eddie was not intimidated by the challenge, he saw the good in Blue as we did. We are grateful for the effort and time put into our pup, as now we can enjoy his company without being fearful.

We cannot be more pleased to have chosen Eddie (critical thinking dog services) to guide our boy Diesel through his first board and train experience. Eddie was very professional as well as VERY informative from the start and throughout the entire process. Although it was difficult being away from our boy for 2 weeks Eddie was great about updating us with pictures and videos Vía Instagram and or Text. We have and will continue to share our great experience as well as recommend Eddie’s program to anyone looking for training.

Eddie was referred to us by a close friend and at first we were wary about how a board and train worked. We new that our dog Mistico needed the extra work, but we were scared to release him to someone else for 6 weeks. From the first moment we met Eddie he explained everything to us and did an assessment of Mistico’s behavior and let us know of the options that he recommended for Mistico. We signed up for the program and throughout the 6 weeks, Eddie was great at communicating with us how Mistico was doing and sending us pictures of the process. We could see that Mistico was learning the tools that he needed to succeed. Once we got Mistico back home, Eddie walked us through the steps and trainings we needed to keep us so Mistico can keep improving. We definitely see a change in Mistico, he would be very reactive when meeting new people coming to the home but Eddie showed us the tools to help Mistico and feel more confident in himself. We would definitely recommend Eddie to anyone that is looking to give your dog more confidence, obedience and for owners that want to learn more ways to help your dogs. Eddie is great and you can really see that he loves what he does and truly cares for each dog he trains.
