I cannot thank Eric enough for the incredible work he has done with our dogs Cupid and Baloo. For over a year, we struggled with extreme aggression and fighting anytime the two dogs were in the same room. It was stressful, upsetting, and at times felt hopeless that they would ever get along. We had tried other trainers before but saw no improvements.
After just one session with Eric, we finally started seeing some breakthroughs. He was able to identify subtle triggers and situations where tension would escalate between them. His approach gave us the knowledge and tools to manage these moments and prevent the vicious fights that had become all too common.
The picture attached is the first day of training! Before this, they could not be next to each other without trying to attack each other.
Now, I am overjoyed to see the improved in Cupid and Baloo. I am so grateful that Eric was able to achieve what we thought was impossible - helping our dogs co-exist safely and peacefully. He has given them a second chance at happiness together. I cannot recommend him highly enough to any pet parent facing similar aggressive behavioral issues between dogs. He truly performs miracles!

"was able to identify subtle triggers and situations" 

I cannot say enough good things!! I went from having a rather out of control young German shepherd mix to getting constantly complimented on how well behaved she is. I have had people even ask me if I am a dog trainer now. Every session was full of value, but the first session we had gave me a different dog within minutes of learning how to correctly use tools and give my pup the structure that she needed! These sessions are an investment in not only your dog, but you as the owner. I had to learn some big lessons personally before I was able to really commit and show up the way that I needed to. A package of sessions with Eric will dramatically change every interaction that you have with your dog for the rest of the dogs life. How many times a day on average do you interact with your dog per day? It’s a lot. To have each of those moments go from a stressful struggle to smooth and almost effortless is priceless! Worth every penny!! Thank you for the work you did with Ochoco and I! 🐾 ⚡️

Eric was a lifesaver for us!!! We were desperate and on the verge of rehoming and he came in and completely changed our lives. We were moving in a week to a new state and we only got a few sessions but what we gained from those made it possible to get our pups under control. We had no idea how much we were contributing to the problem behaviors more so than our dogs. He was kind and understanding and had no judgment and he also helped us become accountable. We had 2 strong willed and wild dogs and now we are all finally getting to a place where we can all understand each other. We are enjoying the little things and the big things so much more. Our dogs made progress within the first hour he was over. I really didn't think it was possible but wow was I wrong. I learned so much about literally everything and learned how much everything is interconnected when addressing the dogs behaviors and our own. Don't hesitate, you will not regret it!

"dogs made progress within the first hour he was over" 

We put a lot of work into training our dog, but even by the time he was 6 months old, there were things we just couldn’t break him out of! We were starting to get concerned that we would never be able to control him.

After just one session of working with Eric, our dog was like a different dog! With proper leash training, his obedience everywhere improved. Can't recommend Eric enough. Everyone needs help training their dogs! There is so much misinformation about how dogs behave and the way they think and react. Eric trains your dog AND you to be a better leader of your dog

"his obedience everywhere improved."

Absolutely the best dog trainer in the valley! I have a 160lb mastiff that was showing some signs of aggression, Erik was able to fix that in 2 sessions. Not only did he fix the aggression but he also helped us with other things. My dog no longer will approach the door without being invited, he doesn’t pull on a leash, bark at the front door, and he will stay unleashed even when other dogs are nearby. Even now months later I can call with any question or concerns and he’s still willing to help. I can’t say enough about this guy. 100% worth the money!!

Eric saved our dog!!!!!! We got Orion our 2 year old Rottie as a puppy as a Christmas present for our daughter (ok he was really for me but you have to do what you have to do to convince the wife). We were concerned getting a large dog with small kids (8, 3, and a newborn). We have owned dogs our whole lives and I have had large dogs when I was younger. Part of the "convincing" was that we would get a professional dog training as a puppy. We paid the going rate for a high rated dog training company. We had 6 in home sessions and group training classes for 6 months..... at the end of this training Orion was very good at sitting and downs... But when it came to walking he was good until a car, human, or dog came within 10 yards of us. He would go burzerker. He also lost his temper and started to act out with aggression. We literally set a time to have him put down. A friend begged us to call Eric... He told me he could easily fix Orion's issues when the other trainers just suggested ramping up our aggression.... We were very skeptical but we love dogs and because of our friend we found the REAL DEAL in a dog trainer... No joke in 5 min on a walk he had Orion not reacating to cars. He taught us how to make him a calmer more obediant dog. It has lead to a dog that has been more intergraded into my home and loved by me and my wife and kids!!!!! I cannot express how much we owe to this man and his ability with dogs (and people)!!!!! If you have any doubts just give him a call and talk to him he is amazing!!! If you even want to talk to me let him know I really owe this guy for saving my dog!!!
