The K9 Coach

Neil is an incredible trainer. He is patient with both dog and owner! His knowledge of and experience with all types of canines is excellent. He has helped us to build confidence in our dogs, and in ourselves. His methods are safe, and logical. He not only teaches you how to train your dogs he educates you along the way, ensuring that you understand your dog’s behaviors. I would never hesitate to recommend Neil!

I am so glad I found Neil! We rescued Toby, a two year-old English Mastiff who had little to no training and was extremely anxious around new people in his home, especially men. Even though we have a lot of experience rescuing, rehabilitating and fostering giant breed dogs, Toby's particular exuberance and insecurities were difficult to tackle. Neil's methods have taught us how to help Toby become a more confident, gentle, happy boy. Neil's knowledge and patience are fantastic and he has really adapted Toby's training to address his specific disposition and problems. His approach focuses on positive training, creating a deeper bond and attentiveness in Toby and building his (and our) confidence. The exercises he taught us help Toby to listen not just at that moment but help to work towards a more relaxed happy dog overall. It's been really amazing the impact it has had. His guidance on leashes, harnesses and other equipment has also been great. Toby is doing so well thanks to Neil! I highly recommend him to anyone.

Since working with Neil over the past few months, our Lab Mix has become a more confident and well behaved dog. Neil stresses not only working with the dog, but as importantly working with the owners to ensure they fully understand the training. He helped curve Hunters fear aggression through multiple techniques, as well as trained us how to have him walk properly on a leash. We would highly recommend Neil.
