After the passing of our senior dog a couple of years ago, my husband & I decided to adopt/rescue another dog. Since we had watched just about every episode of the ?Dog Whisper?, it was decided to have the new dog professionally trained. We had used Kennelwood Pet Resorts at Lindbergh & Page for boarding & grooming in the past & it made sense to start there with our training needs. We were referred to Dave van Garderen & we were pleasantly pleased to see his desk was the one filled with trophies that we had admired on our past visits!
Not only did Dave train our dog for basic obedience but also gave us a view into a dogs world/life that we had not thought of before. He displaced endless patience & knowledge about dogs with us & to our dog. It became very clear that not only is Dave knowledgeable about dogs but very passionate about the dog?s well-being, it is no secret that a trained dog is a happy dog! We have a perfectly well behaved dog that is quite fun to live with & sometimes to show off as we go for walks & to the local pet supply store, etc. Since then we have adopted another dog & there was NO question in our minds who to go to for training. We have referred Dave to two other family members & many friends who also love living with their well-behaved family member! We HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Dave van Garderen with Kennelwood Pet Resorts for your dog training. Old dogs can learn new tricks at our adopted dog did!
