After one of our dogs kept attacking our others, we were absolutely devastated. We thought we were…read moregoing to have to make an unthinkable choice. But after 2 sessions with Melanie, our grief turned to optimism and empowerment. Melanie was able to pinpoint the reason for aggression within minutes and suggested a plan that is still working perfectly. The first word that comes to mind when working with Melanie is competent. There are so many "trainers" out there that do more harm than good. But being a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst, Melanie is the real deal. Her personality complements her credentials. You automatically trust her and know you are in the very best hands. We are overjoyed that we get to keep our family intact. And we owe it all to Yoder's Applied Practice and Melanie's unique, and always gentle style.

I have had friends buy puppies from here, and it took all my strength not to completely chew them…read moreout about their decision. Look, all pet stores get their puppies from puppy mills, it really is that simple. Petland is a pet store, so their puppies come from puppy mills. That means their parents are kept in utter squalor, and are shot when they can't produce any more puppies. If that doesn't bother you, (hey some people are soulless!) the risk of adopting a puppy that has had no socialization, could have infections do to filthy conditions, and potential health issues do to improper breeding SHOULD terrify you. Also, these dogs are outrageously priced. A healthy dog from a reputable breeder can cost less than half the price of a Petland dog. You are just paying double for the ability to conveniently bundle a puppy home at first site, that day. Is it worth it? UMMMM NO!

Alex exceeds all expectations! Our work with Alex is exciting and extremely effective. After a…read moreyear of lock down, we completed his Group Obedience Class with our English Springer puppy then immediately moved to one-on-one private secessions. We enrolled in Alex's Saturday dog walks where we socialize with other dogs and their owners, working the dogs in a group environment.

He brings new activities and resources which move us quickly to become the best leaders and guardians for our dog. Who knew training could be this interesting and so much fun!

We adopted our dog from ASPCA recovery center and she had quite a few behavioral issues. She was…read morenippy, barking and jumping a lot which actually scared me since we have little kids. After working with Alex, we realized that her biggest issue was that she was "over-excited". Alex recommended her to be on anxiety medication which we found was VERY helpful and needed. He also explained to us how to monitor her levels of excitement by using commands and waiting for her to calm down before she became jumpy, nippy and barking. We also realized that we needed to use a muzzle when new people came in and around our 2 year old to make sure she's not nippy with them. All this and the commands gave us huge relief. We had 4 sessions with Alex and have had her for 3 months and we feel so much better. We definitely recommend Alex. He knows what he's doing and he's so kind with the dogs.

Instead of fear-based prong collars, Phil uses reward-based training to achieve great results.

I found Phil through the Karen Pryor Academy site which trains the trainers. Phil is often booked for weeks at a time, so I hope you can get on his schedule. Signed, happy customer.
