  •  Tails of Success...

    "Chad has a real instinct when it comes to what dogs need and want.  Though he is well trained, I think he has a raw talent that many trainers lack.  He seems to be able to actually communicate with dogs.  He was genuinely invested in Tucker and could pick up character traits that were unique to him.  Not only did he help with the training, he was helpful at pointing me in the right direction with diet, veterinary recommendations, daily routines, etc.....  I never could have made it through the first few months without having Chad there to guide me."

    ~Gemma and Tucker

  • "First, I have to admit that the whole training process with Chad, Dyna and myself was more enjoyable than any obligation rightfully should be.  Chad's soothing energy, quick wit and patience would make the dullest of classes seem bearable.  However, that aside, the reason I chose to work with Chad is the personalized, down-to-earth training program he creates that allows you and your pet to co-habitat gracefully in everyday life.  Chad came to my home, and quietly observed my routines and boundaries; then actualized a plan and rules for myself and Dyna that are exclusive to us and therefore very achievable.  To my mind, very few people fit within the confines of large cookie cutter classes, and instead, it is Chad's ability to modify behavior and work within your unique real world that sets you and your pet up for success.  I would recommend him to anyone."

  • Hi Chad, 

    Took Mollie to Santa Barbara for the 4 day weekend and she was PERFECT!
    She loved long walks on the beach and downtown.  Went to 2 Art Shows with her and she was so good on the leash and just ignored all the people....unless they wanted to pet her and WE said it was o.k.! 

    THANK YOU!  Ed, Sue and Mollie! 

    P.S.  She definitely has a big preference for men over women now!  I wonder why?

  • Hi Chad,

    I just got back from walking Jack. We took an hour walk and I was so super stoked that today was the first time we ever played fetch with the ball and he actually would bring it back to me each time and then drop it. It was awesome~!! I don't know what you did, but it worked fantastic!! We are so happy that you were able to walk with him each day and also, work with him. He seems very balanced.Jack

    Mark and I are learning so much from you and Jack. Mark and I are still needing some training ourselves and would like to meet with you again for a one-on-one session. We wanted to join your group sessions too.

    talk soon and thanks again,
    Ann
