Bruce Maldonado came highly recommended to us after seeking out a dog trainer on a local Facebook community page, and we couldn’t be happier. Ottie is our four year old English Setter—he was impossible to walk on a leash, listened to commands pretty selectively, and was so anxious in the car that he chewed through seatbelts and headrests. Bruce taught us a lot about having influence over the dog, making him think, and challenging him in a way that played off his natural instincts. We took things slow, but stayed consistent—and most importantly, we trusted the training process and tried to do everything Bruce instructed. Ottie has always been a really good boy, but after training, he’s an excellent listener and it’s clear he finally trusts us to take the lead.
