Dave has allowed myself and my fiancee establish a relationship with our dog that we had never thought possible. We had adopted Morty from a rescue facility with no idea what his background was. He was a spaz, but a lovable spaz and we instantly knew that he was coming home with us. Three weeks later, we were at the end of our rope. Morty was becoming aggressive, snapping at me and bearing his teeth. We were completely lost, had no idea what to do and were even considering giving him back to the shelter. And then we found Dave. After interviewing with a few different trainers that were either cookie-pushers or totalitarians, Dave outlined to us his measured but firm attitude towards rearing one's dog. We were sold. After a three-week board and train session with Dave, Morty had the foundational structure and tools for being the companion that my fiancee and I had dreamed he could be. The best part, Morty isn't a completely new dog with some soul-crushing regiment to keep him in line. He's still our lovable spaz. With Dave's guidance and training, we've grown to have a dog that we can understand. You'll develop a truly communicative relationship with your dog that one would think impossible. If you are at all considering dog training, whether it be for fundamental behavioral problems or for developing some basic obedience training, look no further.
