Training our sweet but nippy puppy!

Trainer : Emily Fleming

We recently worked with Emily for our dog, Lucas. Prior to working with Emily, we felt his poor behaviors were going to continue indefinitely. After just one session with her, we felt confident enough to start the process of re-learning good behaviors. After only...

Satisfied Clients!

Trainer : Gordon Fontaine

Gordon is an absolute gem! He is so knowledgeable but down to earth; he really took a lot of our stress away over our two sessions. He is a breath of fresh air from some of the more elitist dog trainers and owners we have interacted with. We appreciated his calm but...

Training Bleu the Sheltie

Trainer : Julie Mendelsohn

Julie and her Zen Dog methods have resolved a problem I’ve had with my dog since adopting him 3 years ago. Getting Bleu’s leash on him to go out was a struggle to say the least as Bleu thought a game of chase for 10 minutes was the accepted norm. Being a...

Positive Reinforcement training made a big difference

Trainer : Gordon Fontaine

We had a great experience with Gordon’s puppy class in Arlington! He’s so knowledgeable and patient, and he balances the class so that the puppies get to practice their training, but also get to play and socialize while Gordon watches. The socialization...

Trainer : Neil Simmons

Trainer : Neil Simmons

Neil has been a fantastic help! Our dog was having separation anxiety when we would leave the house which was leading to accidents. She would have these accidents even if we left for just a few minutes! Thanks to Neil and the plan he helped implement, our dog is now...

Excessive Jumping and Nipping — Baby on the way!

Trainer : Gordon Fontaine

Gordon just left our house after an amazing evaluation and training session for our dog, Leo. First off, his service area doesn’t include the town that we live in so we were extremely grateful when he said he would come out to us. I’m 39 weeks pregnant and...

Puppy Play Biting

Puppy Play Biting

Trainer : Elissa Carreras

My session with Elissa last month was INCREDIBLE and solved so many of our problems with Riggins immediately. No more barking in his crate (or barking for attention) and no more play biting. Not to mention that all the games/exercises that she taught us (and left us...
