I just completed Don's 8 week on-leash beginner's class with my black lab who just turned two. When I signed up for the class, I didn't really expect miracles - just a dog who would be a little easier to manage on a leash. After just 8 weeks, he is like a different dog. We are walking virtually "hands free" in my neighborhood and with almost no resistance at all in public places. Don is an extremely knowledgeable, intuitive, experienced trainer. He trains the humans - not the dog and while he is an assertive leader, he throws in so much humor, he has everyone laughing. This class is like a boot camp/comedy hour mix. Don really makes dog training enjoyable and we could all see the results very quickly. I don't want to forget to also thank his assistants who were supportive and encouraging every step of the way. I loved the one-on-one help that they provided. I will miss going there each Saturday morning but I am looking forward to the next class in September. Thanks so much, Don (and team). You are true motivational leaders!
