Pat is truly amazing. We have two dogs, a cat and a nine month old, so most days we live in…read moreorganized chaos. We have had other "trainers" before but none like Pat. Our main goals were to address poor manners when people came over (jumping/barking), poor leash manners (pulling/leading the walk/leash aggression for one of them), and all around general behavior training. We wanted, and needed, help to rectify these things before our son became truly mobile. We emailed Pat on a Friday night and he called the next day. We spoke for over an hour and he reassured us that things would be okay. We scheduled a training session for later that week and haven't looked back. He is an incredible teacher; he took the time to learn about our dogs, our family dynamic, and what our hopes were for the training sessions. He began teaching us right away and showed us how to get into the minds of our dogs. We are five sessions in and there has been such a vast improvement already. We are currently working on walking both dogs and pushing the stroller - a dream of mine - that is soon to be a reality. We genuinely look forward to each session and getting to hang with Pat. Our pack was definitely out of whack but Pat has been instrumental in teaching us how to teach our dogs and reframe our thinking. If you are looking for a no BS, honest, caring trainer/behaviorist, and you are willing to trust someone, and put in the time and work, look no further - he is definitely your guy. We cannot recommend him enough.

From the start, LECA provided the perfect mix of socialization, enrichment, and training. With a hyper-energetic, highly intelligent, and sensitive Australian Shepherd, we wanted to ensure she had positive experiences while also satisfying her natural drive to "work." LECA has been instrumental in making that happen. Beyond socials, we've taken several classes to become better dog guardians and help our pup overcome her early socialization deficits--especially her fears. The team truly cares, always listening to our feedback and tailoring their approach to our dog's needs. Our biggest win? Addressing her leash reactivity early on and helping her grow into a more confident dog. But don't just take our word for it--her happy smile in the photos says it all! The LECA staff are some of her favorite people!

Words cannot describe how grateful our family is to have met Tom and for all of the work he has…read moredone with our dogs. We first started working with Tom when we brought our second (yes second!!) puppy home. We were trying to integrate 2 puppies under 6 months old (a Lab and Shih Tzu) in 1 household. Tom gave us reassurance and additional tips and tricks to manage the household with 2 puppies. Our Lab went through the offleash training program that Tom has to offer and it is incredible how quickly she learned! Tom has the patience that you'd want in any dog trainer and is so extremely knowledgeable. He treated our dogs like they were his own and never rushed us through our sessions. Tom takes the time and really invests his energy into his clients and their success. During the timing of our offleash training, we were experiencing some territorial behavior issues with our Shih Tzu. If it wasn't for Tom, I don't know how we would have ever gotten our Shih Tzu to be where he is now. He is a completely better and different dog than he was. He listens better than any Shih Tzu I have ever met (especially being a stubborn breed)! If you are looking for a trainer who cares, who is knowledgeable, and who will invest the time into your dogs, you found the right person. Tom, thank you again for all that you have done for Dakota and Moose! We are forever grateful for you!!!

I cannot begin to tell you how fortunate I was to find Tom's card at my vet's office. I have a 7…read moreyear old Pug that I trained by myself but when I introduced a Pug puppy I knew I needed help. All that Tom did with Dahlia (6 months old) Tulip (7 years old) wanted to be included which Tom did willingly. He would show me something a few times then hand me the leash to do it myself. Everything he taught 'us' we did at least 2-3 times a day every day and that is what you have to do to keep the puppy learning. Of course his Happy Howie treats that he carries in a bag no his belt was the best incentive ever. He even sent me a picture of what I should buy on Amazon. Both dogs love it and really listen to the commands to get some of the treats. Even Tulip does "Place" now a well as Dahlia! I can't say enough about Tom...his manner, personality and his huge repertoire are the best things about him except his professional manner. Dahlia and I are working hard on 'off leash' and he is doing really well. I would recommend Tom to anyone having an behavior problems.. He also will text you back with any issues you might have which is the best part of it all. Thank you Tom for everything!!

When it became obvious that muzzling, scolding and isolation only escalated his unruly excitability, I reached out to Happy Dog Training (Samantha Cordon) for help. Learning to reward Lucky's good manners with positive reinforcement while introducing calming techniques has created a respectful bond between us and a more pleasant atmosphere for our family and guests. Samantha's patient demeanor and true understanding of canine behavior as well as her useful recommendations -- including links to informative literature, tips/exercises and solution-related products -- were an extremely effective mix for shaping our crazed, 16-month-old, 80-pound housemate into a lovable, work-in-progress. The favorable outcome of Samantha's methods made such an impact on our family that I am planning to follow up with a refresher session in a few months as a means to prevent a backslide with my being consistent, and more optimistically -- demonstrate the success of our polite pup.
