client review of The K9 Guy

Guy certainly is highly skilled in training dogs. My son's first response when Guy took our dog for a short walk to assess her was "Look Mom, she is listening!!" The instruction and basic dog training that was provided to our dog and to us has enabled us to manage the training on our own. Although it takes time, the small changes in her in a short period of time is worth the money spent. Guy's use of technology to manage his business also proves to be very user friendly. He has the necessary tools available to get the job done in an easy and painless way and is a wealth of knowledge. I will recommend Guy to anyone that may have a need. FANTASTIC!

We are so happy that we chose Guy to help us with our 2 girls. Our problem was that the one started attacking the other. We have had both since they were pups and couldn't understand why or how to stop it. They are both spayed and got along okay before. Needless to say,it was heartbreaking to see this behavior. We love them both and when I started to read about 2 females not getting along in the same house I felt very discouraged. Some decided to rehome one or keep them separated at all times. These weren't options we wanted to do. However, we felt responsible for both and didn't want either of them injured. After trying on our own to stop the problem(time out alone, etc.)with no success we called Guy. I can't get over the fact that in one visit,he helped so much! He told us exactly what we needed to do to stop the behavior. He gave us so much insight into the problem. He didn't tell us we were making the problem worse(but after listening to him we realized that we were.) He told us exactly what we needed to change. He even wrote down his recommendations,which I have reread since he came. We have been following all of them daily,and the results are excellent. We already see a great improvement and much more content dogs. I can't thank Guy enough for his knowledge and skill with dogs. Our only regret is not calling him sooner! We highly recommend Guy for whatever goal.

Upon bringing Reilly home I had researched different avenues of obedience schools & dog training available in the Columbus area. I was left with concerns as none of these avenues provided any guarantee despite the time, money & effort that would go into the training. I stumbled onto Guys website & watched the You Tube videos & thought this may be the solution. The guarantee that Guys services have made a difference is evident by our dog’s behavior. We have combated pulling, jumping & barking with the help of Guy. His knowledge of breeds & behaviors is transcended thru the training. The one-on-one training provided in the dog’s environment is unsurpassable. We are stopped frequently & asked where we got Reilly trained. I’m so relieved we didn’t waste the time or money with any other training/obedience service out there. Listen to Guy, do the work & you will be pleased as well. Thanks Guy!

My boyfriend and I adopted Sammy from the shelter. Our anticipation was that we would adopt an older, trained dog. Instead we ended up with a younger dog with many behavioral problems. She would lose complete control at the sight of other dogs when we would walk her. She is 90lbs, so I was unable to walk her because she would pull me down or drag me to the point it wasn't safe. Others in our neighborhood were not too happy with us either. Walks became stressful for us and Sammy. We would go days at a time without walking her because she was too difficult to manage. Then we ended up with a bored dog who began to chew and become destructive around the house. We felt like we failed as dog owners, and Guy was our last resort. We had great results after our first session. We were finally given the tools we needed to help Sammy. We requested a follow up visit because we were still having a hard time encountering other dogs, so Guy came back with another plan for us, and we have had great success! We can now walk Sammy with little effort, and actually enjoy taking her! She is no longer destructive around the house, and even visits weekly at my Grandma's nursing home. We couldn't thank Guy enough for helping us!

Before getting help from Guy, my two daschunds dragged me on walks. Now, I am the leader and totally enjoy the walks. The dogs sleep in their crates now and no longer jump on my bed at night and they don't attack at the door anymore. I love watching and learning from Ceasar Melan and now I am so thankful that we have Guy to turn to. He is just as impressive and really kind. If you are ready to listen and follow instructions, Guy is the person to call. He did amazing things in two hours! I will call on him again if ever needed!! Thanks Guy.

I really enjoyed the insight as to why my dogs were behaving certain ways and how to work with them to improve not only my living enviroment but theirs as well.

Guy was a great help to us and our new puppy. He is direct and easy to understand. He gives you information that is so helpful and easy to follow. Thanks Guy. It is obvious that you love dogs as much as we do !

client review of The K9 Guy

I was very impressed with Guy's professionalism, knowledge, and communication skills with my dogs and me. One of my dogs was especially troublesome, and very difficult on the leash to the point that I was dreading walking her. Guy worked with her AND me to demonstrate how to communicate to my dog what my expectations were and the positive results of behaving properly (praise, petting and a MUCH more enjoyable walk for both of us). Guy obviously loves dogs, is very knowledgable about their thinking and behavior, and is patient with both owner and dog. My dog now walks at my side and is a pleasure to walk. As Guy points out, such behavior changes require consistency, firmness, and praise for the desired behavior. I was amazed how quickly my dog responded once I knew what to do. I am so grateful to Guy for his help, and I highly recommend him to others, especially if you're feeling like you've tried everything and nothing seems to work with your particular dog. Guy can help!

We were at a complete loss as to how to train our dog Hope. She was horrible on a leash (she pulled like a sled dog)and she refused to listen to us when we told her to stop doing something. She barked viciously if anyone came to the door and if they came in the house it was even worse; she did the same thing when she saw someone on the street, along with pulling very hard on the leash. Kevin found Guy through a google search and called him to set up an appointment. I was very doubtful at first - I highly doubted that someone could really make a difference during a 2 hour visit. I was so wrong! Now on walks Hope is like an entirely different dog and it is to the point that I can hold the leash with one finger and she doesn't even realize it, she just stays right next to me. As for barking when people come to the door, she still barks some, however, once they get in the house she stops and just sniffs them. When she meets people outside she hardly ever barks anymore and she only pulls a little bit when she sees another dog. We have recommended him to all our friends and family, and we refer to him as "our dog whisperer". We are so thankful for Guy and all his help!

You are the greatest. Before you came we had no control over our dog, Sammy, at all. Now, thanks to you, we are in control. Sammy no longer runs out the door when it is open. He no longer pulls us when we go for walks, and he listens. It is great to know we can call you if we run into any problems. thank you

We really enjoyed having Guy come to our home and help with the issues we were having with our dog. We are now enjoying walks with our dog and look forward to them daily. Before Guy came our dog was walking us! He left us with daily homework and it has made our life so much easier. We highly recommend Guy!
