What clients are saying
5/5
About a year ago, my doctor told me.I could use a service dog for my cptsd and my syncope. She recommended Eric as a trainer. One of the things I liked about Eric versus other trainers I had contacted was that he was going to let my dog live with him while training instead of being kennelled all day and taken out for a couple hours when they had time for her. Upon meeting Eric, he immediately put my mind at peace. It made me feel calm, and he seemed to understand my issues of why I needed a service dog. Eric constantly sent me videos of her progress, and in just five short weeks, she came back home and has constantly by my side, watching for signs of fainting or anxiousness. We have become a team, and she goes everywhere with me.
This has brought such calm into my life. Going to a movie, the grocery store church a restaurant. It doesn't matter where I go. She is there. And I am her main focus.
Eric is always on call to answer questions or to settle my mind if I think there is an issue with my dog. I will never be able to repay him. For what he has done for me and how it has improved my life.
I highly recommend that if you are looking for an obedience trainer therapy trainer, a support trainer, or a service dog trainer, Eric would be the one to choose

The two week boot camp was a big hame changer for Moose. It was like I got back a completely different dog that was easy to handle and listened to my commands. I'm over the moon with the results. Eric does such great work with all his clients and really cares about their progress.

I adopted Buddy about 2 months ago, and while loveable, he obviously didn't have a real obedience training. He was constantly jumping, barking and putting paws (painfully) on myself and guests. Just two weeks with Eric have made a world of difference in him! He obeys commands, stays by my side on walks, no longer jumps or puts paws on me, and even tolerates his Husky sister so much better now. I can't thank Eric enough!

Eric worked with my service pup, River, and I cannot sing his praises enough. In a short 2 weeks my pup came home a different dog which speaks VOLUMES to Eric’s skill, patience, and fluency with dog training.
My entire experience with him was far beyond anything I could have anticipated following making the decision to send my dog to get some extra help (which I was weary about) but Eric made the entire experience anxiety free and seamless.
From the first point of contact, Eric was receptive and very diligent in learning about River and what my long term goals were with her. He tackled EVERY obstacle I brought up during his time with her and ensured she would be set up for success with me as a service dog team.
Now, at a little over a year old, she has accompanied me to the hospital for multiple procedures and appointments, has travelled on planes across state lines, and has been as close to perfect as any other service dog I have come across in my lifetime.
Despite being done with training, Eric still maintains contact and is always open to answer any questions I may have and provide constructive direction for me to tackle obstacles head on before they become an issue.
Throughout my entire experience with Eric, I received daily updates and KNEW my pup was in good hands - this was especially evident when I saw the two of them working together at the handoff.
I would, in a heartbeat, recommend Eric to any and everybody looking to get some extra help with their dogs. And to all of the service dog handlers out there - look no further.
Eric, thank you for helping me and my best friend. Without you, the bond that we have and the skills that we have obtained as a service dog team wouldn’t have been attainable.
