I totally enjoyed working with these pups and their human! I look forward to continuing our journey together!

My two dogs had an immediate same-day response to the training that's only gotten better with practice. The guidelines have been so helpful that my Australian Shepherd mix's separation anxiety has been totally resolved after just one visit and a few days of training in other areas to alleviate his anxiety. There's still more we have to work on, but there's already a world of difference after only a week.
I am so happy to get to work with this amazing pack! I can't wait to see and participate in their progress!

Most dog training is about training the owner. This system is no different. I'm sure if you follow it, you'll have a dog who appears well behaved... you just may not be allowed to interact with your dog in the way YOU prefer to.
My problems with the system and the company are as follows:
- The system is based on a certain way to give your dog attention - it doesn't adapt to YOUR personality as a pet owner. If you like to give your dog a pat on the head when they come and request one, this is not the system for you.
- The system is based on a key correction word and movements that escalate in volume and involve assertive charging or stomping movements. Being the whole point of my search for training was I wanted LESS volume and less physical action to correct, this system works in a very opposite way.
- The company (or at least my assigned trainer) WILL NOT proactively schedule sessions. It's all "needs based" - so you have to reach out if you want another session and they will not schedule any future sessions in advance. The trainer also implied that he'd check video and email descriptions BEFORE coming back to my home, essentially making me feel like it would be a chore to get him to come back if I wanted him to.
- Other correction tools offered like squirt bottles and noise makers are pretty standard to any kind of training. There's nothing overall unique here that makes it feel worth the price.
All in all, I don't think this system is a good fit for the way most modern dog owners prefer to interact with their dogs and there isn't anything special that differentiates this system from others. For me, absolutely not worth the money.
We have only had our first visit with Damon and it was less than 24 hours ago. I was at the end of my rope with one my dogs aggression towards the others and wasn't sure what we were going to have to do and my heart was breaking. Another one of our dogs is a bit older and barks a lot, the last is a 5 month old puppy, so i dont have to explain her issues. They are all large breed. Damon explained everything so clearly to us in our home so we have the instructions to correct their behaviors. We know we have work to do to keep their progress going but we are absolutely stunned at how much our 3 dogs have started listening more and behaving better, literally night and day. My husband and I cannot stop talking about it. Without hesitation, we would recommend this program to anyone that needs help with their dogs.
I loved meeting and working with this family! Working with them is going to be a joy!

Damon spent an afternoon with my wife and me - so much good information shared that we are able to use immediately - and the tips and advice helped with immediate behavior change for our 9 yr. old Chocolate Lab
I had an awesome time with this wonderful family and look forward to continue working with them!

Damon was a pleasure to work with. After our first session, we immediately noticed improvements with our Golden Retriever puppy. We look forward to working with Damon further!
It was a joy meeting this family and look forward to working them toward a calmer existence!

We had a great training session with Damon coming to our home a little over a week ago! He was patient and took time to explain Milo's behavior (barking at and jumping up on guests) and how we can better communicate with him to show him he doesn't have to be in charge. Since our training session we have been consistent in our training and Milo has showed some major improvement! We still have a ways to go to improve, but we have been nothing but impressed and hopeful that we can create a calm environment for guests moving forward and show Milo that visitors are not scary. Can't wait to have Damon back out to continue working soon!
A great pup and family! Looking forward to working with them in the future. Good boy, Milo!

Damon is absolutely amazing! He spent enough time with me to teach me how to handle Jasmine, my exuberant labradoodle. I recommend him to anyone who is in need of dog training lessons. You will not be disappointed!

Very good training. Instant results. From the dogs point of view.

We have seen great improvements even after the first meeting! Significantly less barking, jumping, and entrance/exits.
