Divine Canine Solutions

I was having some socialization issues with my two puppies I adopted, one was grumbling at people walking past and the other was experiencing anxiety with new people and new places. It was becoming a problem, especially since I wanted the one with anxiety to be able to certify for search and rescue. I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong training wise because I was constantly training. So I talked with my vet and he recommended Ricky and Divine Canine Solutions and I couldn’t be happier. Not only did he help with the issues I knew I was having but he really helped open my eyes to other holes in our training program. Ricky focuses on communication with your dog and fun ways to stay engaged, which I love because my dog is very smart and very active. I have been around dogs a long time and have trained, been to other trainers, etc, and Ricky stands out with his enthusiasm and skills on building relationships. Even if you think you are in a good place with your dog, Ricky can elevate the relationship and bring it to the next level.

Ricky was recommended to me by a friend and I couldn't be happier to have him working with me and my Australian Shepherd. My pup was very reactive on a leash towards other dogs and people and it made going for walks very frustrating. Since working with Ricky my connection with my pup has improved greatly. He explains how to carry out the exercises to practice with your dog very well and is always available for questions and to provide suggestions to have a more rewarding training experience. His program is very easy to follow and has truly helped me have a more enjoyable experience when i'm out with my pup. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a trainer that actually cares about improving your relationship with your dog and who will listen to you and help you and your pup be successful.
