Liberty Canine Academy

Thanks to Walt for saving my relation with my puppy. I did the "adopt a puppy during the pandemic" without realizing how much work a puppy would be. Willow was a high energy golden retriever. Walt was recommended by a friend who was familiar with his academy. We worked with Walt to put her through his puppy training program in order to properly socialize her and introduce her to basic commands. During the months that he worked with her, she went from being a slightly out of control (but lovable) puppy to a properly crate and leash trained puppy. Walt also gave us tips for reinforcing this behavior after she graduated puppy training. Thanks to Walt's help and training, Willow grew up to be such a great dog. She now has great leash, obedience, recall, sit and stay skills. Actually enjoy walking her now...instead of her walking me (or rather pulling me ). Thanks to Walt, Willow has blended into our family and we could not have done it without his help.

Unruly. Unmanageable. Disobedient. Uncontrollable. All those words described our Husky. Believe me when I say there was very little sweet about our dog, Sugar. We took her to Walt who trained her. Walt absolutely knows what he is doing and is a terrific trainer and dog handler. Sugar is a completely different dog after going through Liberty Canine Academy. I'm convinced Walt is one of the smartest people around when it comes to dogs.

I just recently had my dog Buster complete the 3 week board and train program with Walt at Liberty Canine Academy. I was beyond impressed and pleased with the progress he made within a few short weeks. He went from pulling and being very opinionated on walks to now confidently walking by my side. Walt was able to work on impulse control and work on his confidence around strangers. I even starting to expand my trust with him off leash in small doses. The training really felt personalized and tailored to Buster’s and my needs. I thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Walt and Liberty Canine. Communication was extremely clear, thorough, and consistent throughout the duration of his stay. I received updates during Buster’s stay and Walt really worked hard making sure he was obedient in various settings. The in home pickup and drop off was also extremely convenient. Walt did a great job walking me through all I needed to know upon drop off as well. I can’t recommend Walt and Liberty Canine enough.
