Thank you so very much for your kindness and wonderful instruction. You made the CGC test a relaxed and fun experience. Polly and I have enjoyed your classes and have learned so much. I feel very lucky to have you as my instructor.

I don’t normally write reviews and rarely give top marks but Ron is incredible!! If you are reading this review and are in search of a trainer – stop here – do yourself a favor and hire Ron. The great thing is Ron trains dogs out of state as well as in - state, we are lucky that he is not that far away but if you live out of state you can make arrangements with Ron to get your dog trained. We have 2 GSD puppies we purchased and had them since they were 6 weeks old. They are great dogs but they don’t listen. They had a relational bond issue. At 4 months old they are dragging us down the street on their walks. 4 months old just imagine if we didn’t get any help, we wouldn’t be able to walk them. Everyone told us we would have to rehome one of our pups because it would never work. We were appalled because we love both of them. They are a part of our family and we will do whatever it takes to keep them together. I called a couple professional trainers and no one wanted to help us since our GSD's were male and brothers. Then I saw Ron's video on You Tube watched it several times, kept going back to it ( I think divine intervention) and decided to give him a call. He was so awesome on the phone. I told him our situation and he gave me some ideas to use with the dogs before we had a chance to bring them in. He also said it sounded like we were doing a good job with them and it made us feel better about everything. I convinced my husband that Ron could help us. Ron couldn't believe the size of our dogs and said it was a good thing we brought them in because they would be harder to control as they grew up together with bad habits. In 10 minutes he had James under control, heeling, sitting etc. it was amazing. He then did the same with Jesse. Jesse has had a problem jumping on people. He took Jesse and had him heeling, sitting and listening in 10 minutes and then he worked on the jumping up on me. In 3 passes Jesse no longer jumped on me. My husband and I were amazed. Of course Ron explained that what he is able to do with the dogs can also be transferred to us but we would have to do our homework and transfer the leadership skills from himself to one of us first off and then both of us a couple weeks down the line. Ron and Melissa are two wonderful people. They have a nice clean home and kept the dogs in the house and in a very clean area. Their home doesn't smell of dogs at all as a matter of fact if you the cages weren't lined up in the room, you wouldn't know an animal was in the home. I think he loves them as much as we do:) Before we took Jesse, home Ron trained me on what I need to do to keep Jesse on the right track with training at home and taking the leadership role. It’s been two weeks and we took Jesse home yesterday and at first we let him check out the house and I saw that if we didn’t do what Ron said, Jesse would try to take back the leadership role.You have to get your dog to see you as the leader and not Ron. My training this morning went Awesome. Jesse listened to me and sat and stayed in his place as told. It was crazy awesome. I can’t say enough about this guy. We have referred several of our friends to him as well. If you are looking for a true dog whisperer, who cares about your family member and will make a huge difference in both of your lives in a positive and caring way you need to give Ron a call. I feel God led me to Ron and I am 100% Satisfied!!!

I have a Siberian Husky who is extremely stubborn. Over a telephone conversation Ron was able to pinpoint every characteristic of Maverick without even meeting him. Maverick's biggest problem in my eyes was possessiveness over food and stubborn. Maverick attacked our new puppy 3 times when I realized I needed help! The evaluation really opened my eyes. Ron was able to help me realize that Maverick learned to use aggression when he did not want to something that we asked of him. Ron explained that since this was a behavior he had learn he can unlearn it with a strict schedule and helping Maverick learn that he needs to work for us not for himself to be happy. My Husky stayed with Ron for 2 weeks - Ron posted videos of his progress even though one was very hard to watch -- Maverick was being aggressive on the leash because he did not want to do what he was being told-- the second one was a completely different dog. When I brought Maverick home I was scared I was going to have a different dog and I would miss Maverick's old personality -- but his corky characteristics that I loved didn't go anywhere!! Within 10 minutes of being home from bootcamp I brushed him (which before was always made me nervous before due to him baring his teeth and snapping at me) I was able to completely brush maverick out with out any type of aggression- he was actually wagging his tail!! Ron solved his food possession and his aggressive outbursts. We are continuing to work with Maverick and seeing more improvement after each time! Thanks Ron for making my already perfect baby boy more obedient, happier and overall a safer dog for our family.
