Eric Temple Dog Training

Training with Eric was extremely helpful. We have a high energy, stubborn two year old husky. Our main goal was for reliable recall off leash. After just a few training sessions with Eric, we were able to establish the priority of our commands not only in the home, but also in active outdoor situations (other dogs, animals, people). Eric has a kind and relaxed manner that made us comfortable while also providing an extremely effective way of coaching. He incorporates techniques to make training fun for both the owners and the dog! We simply cannot thank Eric enough!”

Eric is a great dog trainer and person. He loves dogs and treated our dog like he is his own. Eric was very honest with us from the beginning and told us what he thinks would be the best training strategy for our rottie. We adopted Calvin at the age of 2 and he had a few things that needed improvement. Eric was able to help Calvin achieve his and our goals. He involved us in the training and that helped us get to know our dog plus we were able to build a relationship with Calvin. Neighbors and other dog owners noticed Calvins improved behavior and that showed us that Eric did his job! I have no doubts in referring Eric to other dog owners and can recommend him to anyone!

We had a wonderful experience with Eric when we rescued our dog Ellie. He was responsive to initial inquiries and flexible with his availability. He clearly truly adores dogs. He provides a knowledgeable and often “play based” technique and reward system which we appreciated because we didn’t want our girl packing on the pounds from treats. He’s very honest and empowered us as owners that we were capable of caring for our dog after his instruction

Right from the start I knew that Eric would be the perfect trainer for both my dog Penny (an independently minded Australian Labradoodle) and me. I was totally impressed with his training experience and his vast knowledge of dog behavior. He approaches his training process with authority and conveys his methods to each dog with his direct heartfelt focus. His lesson plans are all approached with clarity. He sensitively listens to your needs and then modifies his methods to your dog’s particular training goals. My dog is always delighted to work with Eric. His passion for dogs convinced Penny that training could be fun. I’m particularly delighted that we have been able to play fetch together as a daily exercise. Eric is a vault of dog knowledge and is an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend that you consider Eric for your training needs.”

We weren't sure where to start with training when we adopted our 6 month old puppy, Rio. From day one, Eric made training sessions both informative and fun. He helped us navigate everything from cooperative play to seting and enforcing boundaries, and Rio loved him immediately. Investing in the homeschool training program was definitely the right move for us. Rio made so much progress over the 4-week period, and we left feeling much more confident in our ability to care for and train him. If you're in need of some expert guidance, I highly recommend Eric!
