Comments from recent clients . . .

Guy-is a wonderful trainer and a true professional! We highly recommend him.

He immediately helped us and Tanner, our dog, feel at ease at our very first training sesion. I was amazed at how in one session we saw improvement in getting Tanner to heel on a walk, something I had not been able to do in 4 years (turns out I needed more help then Tanner)! He is extremely patient, gives easy to follow directions, and very insightful tips/suggestions. Guy has helped us improve Tanner's manners and made walks a true pleasure.

In addition, he has helped me gain more confidence in walking Tanner past loose dogs in the nieghborhood-how to stay calm, assess the situation, and tips on how to handle various situations that can arise. He also worked with us on making Tanner less territorial towards other animals that wander into our yard.

We are truly grateful for his help!

I highly recommend K9 guy! Our dog Toby was about to be taken back because of his whining, growling, chewing and inability to take him on a walk. He'd jump on everyone coming in the door, chew up our furniture and whine and howl when we'd get fed up and put him in his kennel...your basic frusterating dog behavior. With the help of Guy and continued training on our part, Toby is a great dog now! We can take him on walks and he listens, the chewing and whining has stopped and he's not a kennel dog anymore :) Thanks Guy!

I'm a first-time dog owner, and Guy has been a terrific advisor for raising a dog. He is a solid trainer and an excellent teacher for both humans and canines!

Tom and I rescued a puggle when he was 6 months old,who is now 16 months old, he is super hyper pup who jumped on everyone who came through the door and wanted to nip them. He is a smart dog and is able to sit, stay, roll over, catch a ball etc, but he didn't like walking on a leash, he wanted to pull you down the street. Guy worked with us and the dog for over two hours and it has been two weeks since he was at the house. He had us change his collar which was one of the best things that helped us with the walking and he is not jumping on folks when they come to the door now. His techniques work. Thank you K9 Guy. He came highly recommended to us by 3 different friends. The time and the money is well worth it. Thanks Guy!

Guy was very helpful in training our 5 month old Silky Terrier to walk properly on leash, sit, down and off. We noticed a difference the very next day and so did our neighbor! I plan to have Guy do more training in the near future. His prices are very reasonable for the length of service he provides. Thanks again!

Guy,

Thank you for all the advice and ideas you have given me in regards to house training my bishon. As you know, I tried everything from potty pads to obedience training without success. After one visit from you, my bishon is well on her way to becoming a wonderful little pet. I have told many of my friends with problem puppies about your service. Thanks again for all your help.

Cheryl U. / Reynoldsburg, OH

We had been through puppy training and I have let some of Abby's bad habits rule. Guy reinforced training for me that helped get things back on track.

Susan K. / Westerville, OH

Guy,

I just wanted to thank you for all your help. My dog "Pete" is walking on his leash with ease after our session with you. I was very impressed with your technique and abilty to work with "Pete". Thanks Again.

Andrew / Columbus, OH

Guy has been wonderful helping us with our labrador. Guy is very patient, focused, and really listened to what our problems were and addressed them. You can really tell in the way the dog responds to Guy,that he knows what he's doing. He is truly professional. We will definitely continue to use Guy's services and would highly recommend him to anyone!

Jay A. / Westerville, OH

Guy is a terrific trainer. His demeanor and knowledge of dogs is outstanding. The sessions were fun, easy to understand and effective. Results with my 4 month old Labradoodle were almost immediate. I would highly recommend Guy. The sessions make a great gift.

Bob B. / Columbus, OH

My 11 1/2 year old dog, CoCo Bean, and I take daily walks throughout the neighborhood. Over the past 2 years - with home sales we have noticed an increased trend in neighbors allowing their dogs to be loose in the front yard. Several dog confrontations leading to dog fights have occurred as we pass by. This created fear in me and in CoCo and I sought the advice of the K-9 Guy to work with us. Guy was wonderful in assessing the personality and disposition of CoCo and in targeting behavior modifications for both CoCo and me! (Yes, I need to modify how I respond when I see a loose dog.) The # 1 goal for me was to relax, translate that to CoCo and to calmly assess a situation when approached by a loose dog. Guy listened to my concerns and offered proactive ideas and helped me by walking me through the techniques. It was amazing what 2 visits did to help the situation. I now feel more confident when walking and approached by a unrestrained dog and this has helped CoCo feel more relaxed, too. We enjoy our walks and continue for exercise, health and our own special bond.

I would like to "Thank" Guy for his insight and expertise and in designing techniques to meet our outcome. I highly recommend the K-9 Guy for any dog owner for behavior assessment for successful results.

Lynda / Pataskala, OH

Guy is true professional. We asked Guy to work with us for our 12 yr old dog who had developed some behavior issues. Guy was thoughtful and truthful. Our issues have only mildly improved, but not through the fault of Guy! He gave us great ideas, suggestions, and training tips to help control the behavior. I would highly recommend Guy to others whose dog may have a behavior issue and definitely for any obedience training!

Jackie S. - Westerville, OH

I mentioned to one of my co-workers that I was having some training issues with my dog. She suggested that I contact Guy.

With Guy's help, I was able to train my dog to walk beside me and only sit on furniture when told. He now sits before he gets his food and sits at the front door before we go outside. In fact, I now go outside first. The dog is now calmer and knows who is in charge.

Jan / Columbus, OH

I only used Guy once (I have terrible follow through!) but he did teach me some great immediate things I could try with my dogs. Especially helpful was the leash training he taught me, as well as helping me to better understand the authority I need to be!

Kathy / Galena, OH

Hello, Guy.

Thanks for emailing me regarding Charlie and Boomer. Both dogs are doing good. Terry said they are especially good at "heeling". He can sit outside on the deck, say "heel", and they both come running. They come up to him and sit -- mind you they are not sitting by his side but they sit facing him. ha.ha. They still get a little crazy when we have visitors at the front door. We are working on it though. They are walking better on their leashes and love walks. Guy, you have been a huge help with both dogs and helping me to diagnose Charlie's possible problem interest in cats -- which both you and I decided would be safer to just basically keep our cat and Charlie in different areas of the house. I rate your services A+ and, when the need arises, I will give you a call.

Thanks, Guy!!
