Lori E. - Ruby I can't recommend Doug enough! He is an attentive, patient, professional, and experienced dog trainer and a really nice guy! Doug is super knowledgeable and understands how to read my dog's habits and tendencies. He worked with me to understand the fundamentals behind my dog's behavior and how to strengthen and improve that behavior. He has helped me learn to follow good habits for my dog, along with giving me many tips on how to continue to build and reinforce those good habits. He is an excellent communicator and provides summaries and suggestions after each session. I'm really so grateful to Doug because he has taught me so many invaluable things about being a good, responsible dog owner, and through his guidance, our 2-year-old MinPin Chi Chi rescue, named Ruby, has really become such a well-behaved and super-friendly pupster! He has also helped me socialize Ruby with my two daughters' dogs so that they can all be together and get along well. I was really worried about this, but Doug spent time advising me about having all 3 dogs together, so now I have the confidence and knowledge to be able to deal with this situation, and thankfully, it has been working out well!! If you want an experienced, dedicated and compassionate trainer for your dog, Doug is your guy! I highly recommend him!
