If you are looking for professionalism, kindness and growth within yourself and your canine companion-you have arrived at your destination. We were skeptical and concerned about our future with our beloved 1 1/2 yr old mini dachshund named Archie. We bought the 6 session package. He has learned all the commands and taking him for a walk is our favorite thing to do now! Archie is a much happier pooch and we are much happier parents. We highly recommend Dion. The investment is well worth a happy future.

Two years ago I rescued Gilbert, a truly remarkable but quirky and energetic dog. My best friend thinks he was struck by lightning as a puppy, only partly in jest. I think I did a great job raising him, but Dion has been a revelation. He's given me such an amazing set of tools to help Gilbert and me and our roommates all live together more happily. In part this was Dion correcting mistakes I didn't realize I was making, like using a harness despite Gilbert pulling all the time, but more than that Dion helped me understand how Gilbert thinks. I remember thinking, confused, how can it be that a stranger understands my dog better than me? It's a testament to Dion that he does. He also understands me as a dog owner, and has been empathetic and accommodating of who I am and what I want from owning a dog. I cannot recommend Dion enough. If all you want is to correct minor inconvenient behavior, he's your trainer. If you want to get your dog off leash on trails, he's your trainer. And, though I don't want to take Gilbert to dog shows or through agility exercises, I believe if you do Dion is also your trainer. For your sake and your dog's sake, spend an hour with him. You'll look back and wonder why you spent so long not properly training your dog.

I have an Akita puppy that completed 2 levels of group training classes at one of the big pet stores. She would listen for treats but was becoming aggressive towards one of my other dogs. I was desperate for help when I contacted Dion. After the first training session, I could see a huge difference in her attitude. She looked up to me as a leader and actually started listening without me having to bribe her with treats. We just completed our training yesterday and she is a totally different dog! Dion is amazing at what he does. He does a phenomenal job working together with the dog and owner. If you want to learn how to train your dog and gain their respect, Ancillary K9 is the answer!
