We were hesitant to send our puppy, Maverick, away for training. It turned out to be a great decision. Maverick is now a great loose leash walker, has good door manners and is a good listener! And he is still has all of his great puppy energy! We are extremely happy with the work Eric did with Maverick and with us on "livabilty skills". We would highly recommend using DPTC.

“Wow! That’s a well-trained dog,” says it all. I can’t say enough great things about the program our 7 month old Maple went through. The simple commands taught by Eric and team are great, but the part that impresses me the most is how well thought-out the program is. If you read to materials, watch the videos, and listen to Eric, you will see everything they do has a purpose and intention that is backed by sound logic and years of training experience. Maple left her 3 week boarding about 2 weeks ago. She's doing a great job around the house and I can very easily teach her new things. But the basics also matter. Today, I saw two old ladies struggling to get their trash out to the road while walking Maple and didn't want her to bug the ladies if I helped. Told her “down” about 30 feet away on a sidewalk (beside the road no less), went and helped, talked for a minute, and then walked back to her waiting patiently on me. Her being capable to do that and me being confident that she could allowed me to help these struggling ladies! I don’t think the ladies even noticed Maple until I walked back to her. One of the ladies left with a parting gift to Eric and team… “Wow! That’s a well-trained dog.”

Our dog Tilly was effectively trained. After some practice following the go home orientation, we were able to effectively use the e-collar and leash in addition to voice commands. Once we practiced, we could really appreciate the results of the training. After the follow up orientation, we were able to build on our experience in the first week post training. We were able to easily establish the livability commands at our home. Our puppy is still energetic, happy, fun curious and excited! But now she behaves with her sister, in the house, on walks, everywhere. And she listens now!!!!! This training has made raising an energetic puppy 'easy' compared to the first 19 weeks!!!

Eric did amazing with my 4-month old Aussiedoodle puppy Patrick. Patrick had major separation anxiety and panicked anytime he was inside his crate. We did Board and Train for three weeks, and every weekend I saw big improvements in Patrick's behavior and confidence (see photo for Patrick practicing "place" in one of our 1:1 sessions). I loved following his progress on Facebook and Instagram and seeing how Eric was taking him on outings, working with children and other dogs, and getting him familiar with setting boundaries in a home environment. Initially I wasn't sure if I could keep Patrick because I was so overwhelmed, but he improved so much that he has become a permanent part of our family. Thank you Eric and DPTC!

We rescued Fawn at 5 months old and we had previously had a 10 lb. 16 year old Chihuahua that we lost last year. So we weren't prepared for a puppy or a larger dog then we had in the past. She brought total chaos to our household and we needed to have her fit in to our day to day life. When I read about livability on your website I knew we were on the right track. After 2 weeks of training we are definitely on the right path. We continue with the training on a daily basis and our household is much calmer these days. We are truly grateful to the dog psychology & training center. Thank you, Lorraine Kovacs
