Specialty Dog Training

I do not recommend Specialty Dog Training. I spent $5000 and my dog will not deliver and drop a ball. I can not walk him because he has so much reactivity to other dogs that I will be pulled across the street even with a prong and e-collar. He barks when he never barked before. I do not recommend a dog training facility located next to a humane society. Dogs bark all the time. It is a terrible location. I trusted Specialty Dog Training with my English Mastiff. I waited to get an English Mastiff for forty years. He is precious to me. I am so disappointed that I do not have quality time with him when we play ball. I have to be on the look out for other dogs when we walk up and down the street or around the block to do a turnaround. When I left a message for Graham Blair after the first time Bodie pulled me across the street, he never called me back. Never called a customer who cried on the phone. And please do not insult me by saying I don’t handle my dog correctly.

Just finished a four week program for our English Bulldog and are amazed at the results. Prior to the program, our one year old dog had issues with pulling on the leash during walks, surging and jumping up on guests. He would never be able to hold a sit or down for more than a few seconds, but he has come back a transformed dog. Walks and outings in public places are much less stressful now and other dog owners have come up to me saying what a calm, gentle dog we have. Andres and the front desk staff were absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend Specialty Dog Training to anyone.

We first met Graham after we rescued a 5 year old heeler that was very dominant, aggressive, very behaviorally challenged. Graham has the presence that our dog immediately clued in to and with his patience, his expressions, his manner, he was able to connect with our dog on his level, to gain his trust and have him respond to his training. Grahams main interest truly is to provide the structure for a happy, confident, obedient dog. And always in a soft but firm and non-aggressive manner. Graham is now working with a third dog for us; this one is a young dog that is learning from the beginning acceptable behavior in all situations. Graham has also kept us tuned in to how to direct our dogs attention the right way, to keep us sharp to notice pattern changes and how to quickly bring the focus back to where it belongs, and help us all to better understand each other. It has been a pleasure to have Graham in our lives; we are much a happier ‘pack’ thanks to Grahams skill and devotion. Graham is an awesome dog trainer and is someone I highly recommend, if you want what is best for your best friend.
