The K9 Coach

Neil has been helping us with our rotti puppy since January, as we had no idea how to control our stubborn Zeus. Neil showed us techniques to help calm Zeus in his wild man out bursts. Not only did Neil teach us life long skills, he also taught us how dogs communicate and how to build a relationship with our pup. Zeus was horrible walking on a harness, and we were very frustrated. Neil never gave up and was very patient in teaching us how to train Zeus on a harness. Now I am able to take Zeus to parks and he walks nicely right by my side! Zeus is a much better behaved boy now, Neil truly is the dog whisperer!! I would recommend Neil’s dog training services to anyone needing help! He is patient, competent, gentle and very effective in his training techniques. Training dogs is truly his passion, and let me tell you, Zeus LOVED Neil, you’d think Zeus was a police trained dog just by the way Zeus obeyed him. We were Always amazed how Zeus just respected Neil. Thanks to Neil, I can enjoy this summer with my pup walking nicely by my side and listening to his commands outside!

We adopted a very sweet 3 year old goldendoodle who had been awful on a leash about a year and half ago. Our family all dreaded taking her on walks because your bicep would get a workout holding her back from dragging you across the asphalt. She also would run through any open door. It was an episode even trying to open our front door, worrying she may escape and run into danger. We had tried 2 other trainers who basically told us we needed a shock collar. With just 4 sessions, not only has Neil taught us how to walk our dog, where we can hold the leash with just a pinky finger, she also has become confident and relaxed. The other day, I was taking the recycling to the curb and forgot I had left the door to the house wide open. Before Neil, this would have been a disaster. When I noticed the front door open, our sweet dog was seated at attention by the front door, wide open, waiting patiently for either her command to come or to continue to stay. This brought tears of relief to my eyes. Neil is a patient, loving, calm instructor and believe me when I say his techniques work. He’s made our family believe all dogs are trainable and they are never too old to learn new tricks!
