Erick was amazing with my girl! I brought her to him for a 3 week board and train for her reactivity/leash aggression issues. Not only did she learn to trust him, she has become calmer when walking. He gave me the tools i needed as well … More to continue making progress at home. He’s truly a dog whisperer, my dog respected him so much! His two follow up training sessions addressed any further practice we BOTH needed and I feel confident in me and my dogs future of living in harmony with our neighbors! Thanks Erick!!

Our 4month old golden retriever was wearing us out!! Then we heard about Erik and after 3 weeks with him she was a different dog!! We are following up daily with her training and Erik will have her for 3 more weeks when she turns 8 months. … More He is kind and patient and truly cares about each of the dogs he trains! We have had a lot of trainers over the years and Erik is the best!!

My dogs were running my household!! I gave Erik my two dogs for a 5 week board and train because I was ready to get rid of them altogether - my house had become very chaotic with both of them and a new baby. They are now home and are new … More dogs! They have boundaries now, with each other and with the house. The codependency has been addressed, and they are able to be apart without crying and barking. They listen and are engaged with my husband and I - no longer flying all over the furniture and smothering my little baby girl with slobber and sniffs.Erik sent me videos throughout the process, and from the first time meeting him I felt very safe leaving my dogs in his care. You can tell they were happy to be there, and when he comes to the home visits they are excited to see him!Thank you Erik for giving me my babies back just the way I expected - maybe even better!

Words can not express the amount of peace and relief Erik brought into our home! I came to him in serious need of help with our Shepherd/Boxer 10 month old. Pregnant and injured he immediately got me on the schedule and started working … More with Shelby. After a month long training, Shelby came home a transformed dog. He is also an extremely good human trainer!😊 My family now has the tools and knowledge needed to live in peace with our sweet Shelby. Worth every penny and more, would HIGHLY recommend to anyone!

Erik is a rockstar! He is so good with Stevie and helped me understand how training a dog works, and with some simple commands and consistency she has already improved so much since I adopted her. He is extremely knowledgeable and extremely … More patient. The facility is wonderful, always extremely clean and a perfect setup for training your dog! I can’t wait to continue bringing stevie back for classes!

Erik did an awesome job helping a first time pet parent better understand a small puppy and better care for him. The 4 weeks away from home made a big difference on Fabio.

I was convinced that our sweet (with family) 65 lb dog was aggressive with strangers. With three kids, that behavior wasn’t going to work. I was at my wits end and was willing to do just about anything to prevent Finn being put down. That’s … More where Erik came in and let me tell you what a God send he was. He was able to tell at first meet that Finn was not aggressive but had boundary issues. Erik requested a month to work with him. During that month, he sent videos to show Finn’s progress. I could tell within a week that Finn was flourishing under Erik’s guidance. The best part is towards the end of Finn’s training, my family was able to work with Erik and Finn to prepare for the transition home. Finn is now much more confident which has lead to better behavior. He listens to commands. We can take him on walks now without fear of Cujo making an appearance. Erik has made himself available for any questions and concerns during and after the month period. My biggest fear was taking Finn to the vet because he was muzzled last time he was there. Erik agreed to go with me as a part of the two follow up visits. The appointment went beautifully and I could have cried with how happy and relieved I felt. My family and I cannot fully express how thankful we are to Erik and we will be working with him further in group classes to continue Finn’s socializing and success as well as building our confidence as dog owners.

Thanks to Erik I have a new dog!! Erik did a fantastic job of working with our dog for 3 weeks. He took videos while he was working with Hans and sent to us which we can now view and use to continue the training. Hans is now well trained … More and Erik followed up with us with several visits to show us how to continue the journey to having a well trained dog. I would highly recommend Erik...and so would Hans 🤗

Highly recommend!! We dropped off our pup for 4 weeks of training to manage her anxiety and aggression — not only did she come back a calmer and more disciplined pup but happier as well! She is now fit and better trained than we could have … More imagined!

Erik is like a “dog whisperer”. He is very experienced, professional, patient, and committed to both the dog and the owners. We are first time dog owners and were unable to get our dog to listen to basic commands until we sent our 1 year … More old German Shepherd “Valor” to Erik for 4 weeks of obedience training. The before and after transformation of Valor has exceeded our expectations! Erik continues to provide us feedback, solutions, and ongoing support with Valor, and to us individually as dog owners. Our experience with Erik has been life changing for our family and for Valor.

Erik is a great trainer, my dog has a lot of fearful responses to different situations and Erik gave me the tools to work through those. He works with the dogs slowly at first and really earns their trust before starting actual training. … More Opie loves him and working with him!!

Erik was wonderful helping me train my new Greyhound. He is honest about the amount of training needed. It only took a few sessions to help get my new dog trained.
