Rick is amazing!
”We brought our 1 year old working line GSD to him after struggling with reactivity and lack of impulse control/overall confidence. Our pup was exposed to agitation work far too early from a previous trainer, and it just created a bunch of problems down the line. Rick is extremely knowledgeable, and understands how frustrating and disheartening it can be sometimes when you’re dealing with a reactive pup. We are so thankful for all of his support, and we have seen such amazing progress in our dog since we started with him. He’s given us the tools to continue to strengthen the bond we have with our girl and to help her grow into the dog we know she can be!”

LET’S HEAR FROM THE CUSTOMERS

  • New List Item

    Description goes Your family and dog will absolutely benefit from Rick’s training. We have used other dog trainers in the past and none were as knowledgeable as Rick. We were immediately impressed in his ability to assess our dog’s behavior and develop a personalized training experience. After our first training lesson we went home with new tools which we worked on all week until our next class. Our pup’s behavior quickly modified towards the improvements we hoped for. After several more classes, our dog has transformed into the family dog we had hoped for. We highly recommended Rick and Impactful Canine Training to anyone wanting better behavior from their dog.
