- Betsy GWe did the Basic Manners package with Derek and it was super helpful and effective. Derek is patient and has a wonderful way with dogs. Our kids participated as well and he worked well with all of us!
- Zoë KDerek's 5-session "Puppy Basic Manners" course was just what we needed as new dog owners. He introduced us to positive training methods, which were different than the dominance-based methods we grew up with. Besides learning both basic commands and the foundation of more complex learning for our pup, Derek also emphasized health and safety guidelines for dog care. He's also given us a ton of videos, articles, and detailed write-ups of what he's taught us that will be useful as we continue to learn along with our dog. Although our puppy had a pretty basic (easy!) personality, it was clear that Derek is very experienced with fearful dogs, or dogs with tough early lives and/or more challenging issues. Derek has a lovely gentle personality, a great depth of knowledge about dogs, and the BEST treats. I would highly recommend this course to anyone with a new-to-them dog in their family.
- Bianca HMy partner and I adopted our pup, Arlo, from a rescue org. It was clear that Arlo was super motivated and very high energy, but we knew we needed some reinforcement. Derek was amazing! Not only was Arlo always so happy to see him, but so were we. Arlo is so well behaved and is great with his commands. People are always so impressed with him. Derek also helped us introduce Arlo to my senior pup, Choco. We really couldn’t have gotten to where we are with training without Derek. Although we’re working on training on our own now, it’s only because Derek gave us the tools to do so. I wont hesitate to reach out to Derek again in the future.
