Rod has been working with my dog Shorty in the San Francisco Bay Area. Shorty is a four-year-old Yorkie Terrier mix with established bad habits. Rod established a good bond with Shorty, with a firm but loving/gentle hand right from the beginning. He has been updating me on Shortys progress, which already shows promising results! They are working on basic commands on and off leash, socialization as well as food possession. He is experienced, competent, patient and loving. I would HIGHLY recommend Rod. Can't wait to update with the final results!
