  My husband and I owe so much to Dave and his training!
  
  I reached out to Dave as a first time puppy owner when we got our little girl Abigail. A few weeks after we brought her home, we put her into puppy classes with Dave. It was one of the best decisions we've ever made in our lives. Dave was awesome! I love how he took the time to train Abigail over a period of time and that she was properly introduced to other dogs. Dave does a great job training the owner just as much as he trains the pup. As a responsible dog owner it is important to make sure you have a well behaved dog that you can control. Dave teaches you how to do this. Another reason we went with Dave was because he is a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) evaluator and could train her to pass the CGC certification, which Abigail did :). If you are in the San Diego area and debating hiring a dog trainers, don't. Just go with Dave!

  Getting my dog trained by dave is probably one of the wisest "investment" i've made. My english bulldog georgie absolutely loves him! I have a rescue bully who's scared of almost anything that moves , skiddish around men especially. He immediately warmed up to dave and even on the next session, was able to recognize him right away. Dave is amazing and i would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to have their dog go through training for whatever reason. We're not even halfway through our sessions but already loving it . He's very patient with me and georgie even though we're probably one of his worst students (ex: missing a class.) seriously, no need to think twice about getting dogs with dave for your dog training :)

  Dave is the best dog trainer! He trained my GSD (Shiloh) when she was a young pup. She passed her Good Canine Citizenship with flying colors by the age of one. She is now three years old and a mentor dog. Shiloh is very confident; loves people/children and is great with all dogs. He works in Kensington at a small park with lots of stimulation which is the perfect set up for your pup...your dog cannot fail! I really liked one on one with Dave vs others' group classes. He uses positive reinforcements and have all the answers that you may have about your fur-baby and more. "A well behaved dog is a happy dog". Your pup will love Dave!

  Dave is a kind, knowledgeable and skilled trainer - of people! Surprisingly the thing I learned best from working with Dave is that training my dog is way easier than training myself to be consistent and calm in my interactions with my dog. She does exactly what I tell her to do all the time - bug like many humans, I'm not actually telling my dog what I THINK I'm telling her. ...
