Frequently asked questions
What Our Clients Say
"Byron has been a true Godsend to us! He has transformed our 2-year-old German Shepherd, Dakota, into a more respectful, calm, attentive, and loving companion. Byron listened intently to what our challenges were with Dakota (recall, barrier aggression, pulling on the leash, sense of “place,” etc.) and masterfully addressed each one with an excellent balance of patience, firmness, and praise. His knowledge of how a dog thinks, reacts, responds, and learns is extremely impressive! As much as Byron has successfully worked with Dakota, he has also expertly (and patiently) assisted my husband and I when managing and instructing Dakota. I would HIGHLY recommend Byron!!"
LaRae
This is Koda,She is a very sweet German Shepherd/Heeler mix with people. My problem was she was very aggressive with other dogs across the fence and on a leash at stores. We really wanted her to be able to be around other dogs and go for walks in public places. After just one session Byon had her accepting dogs by a fence and actually walking by other aggressive dogs barking without reaction. I was absolutely shocked. It was my moment like you see on the TV with the trainer in CA. My husband couldn’t believe it either. She had been in training for a couple of months with a different trainer prior without hardly any progress. My son came over one day and without knowing about her training came in and said “Wow, Koda is like a different dog.” We have horses and now Bryon is working with us on getting her to be okay and not aggressive with the horses. He is calm, gentle and effective! We are so excited to have found him!
Becky
"I can’t thank Byron, enough! My dog Roxanne was terrified of people and other dogs, but in just three sessions, she went from hiding to happily playing with dogs twice her size and even approaching new people! My other dog, Eugen, also gained the confidence to start agility training and now jumps through hoops like a champ. has a real gift with dog highly recommend!"
