I hired this guy a little over a year ago and wow, what a mistake. I read the negative reviews and they are all things that happened to me. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only sucker to lose $1,000 bucks to this guy. This crackpot taught my dog nothing but basic leash training in 5 sessions. He was always late, difficult to understand and insistent that I write everything down and would sometimes test me by having me read it back to him. I fired him after 5 sessions and no money back. Filed a complaint with BBB and no help there. Hire this guy if you like being talked down to, taking pages and pages of notes and getting nothing you can't get at Petsmart basic doggy training for 1/10 the price.
