"Amazing human being. I'm thrilled. I rescued a pug that became very aggressive towards people and other dogs. Rob came to my house and from the moment he opened the door, he worked with the new rescue and me including my other dog. He taught me the commands. He worked an hour and a half with me and just absolutely changed this dog to what it should be. I am so excited. I am so thrilled. I highly recommend him - every cent you pay - this man earns. Best investment ever. We even had a neighbor come out with his dog that my new dog barked and lunged at just yesterday. Within a brief time he had all three dogs walking together. No barking; no lunging. He also helped this dog come out of its shell as it was timid and shaking and honestly stated small dogs do shake; something you should consider to accept. Honesty! He will be working with that dog and owner as well as that neighbor was thrilled with the outcome. Thank you Rob for being you. Thank you for giving my dog the ability to be a great dog." ~ Joanne Lawsen

"Rob is an absolutely outstanding trainer who assisted my family and I with our rescue dog. Prior to finding Rob, we tried other trainers who simply taught my dog how to get a treat. When Rob came along, however, he had an exponentially more effective approach, utilizing his deep understanding of both animal behavior and family dynamics to help change my dog's behavior (and my behavior as a pet owner). After the first round of training my friends and family recognized the difference and said, my dog was 'a changed dog'. My family and I have continually trusted Rob throughout the years, and most recently have worked with him to help with toddler/dog interactions. As always, he has been outstanding and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend." ~ Matt DeFrancesco

"Rob is the best dog trainer I have ever met. I have two young Australian Shepherds. They are a very high energy working breed. I coincidentally met Rob as I was having difficulty walking my dogs on a nearby dirt road. Rob was driving by and was kind enough to pull over and offer me assistance. He introduced himself as a local horse and dog trainer and said he could help me. Rob is very unique and different than any trainer I have ever encountered. His focus is on animal behavior and the dynamic of the relationship between owner and pet. He does not use any treats, thereby avoiding any food aggression. His approach to training is logical and intuitive, thereby achieving real sustainable results. He is truly an amazing trainer who has allowed me to develop a relationship with my dogs that I previously thought could never be attained. I have recommended Rob to multiple friends and they have had similar results. Rob is a gem and the best kept secret in K9 training." ~ Robert Epstein

"Rob has been working with my mini mare who has many issues. We have made much progress in a short time. I recommend Rob to anyone with a horse with issues being handled." ~ Laurie T.

"Look no further if you need help in training, or better word would be understanding, your puppy or dog. As an owner of three rescue dogs, who all came from different places and backgrounds, are home was in a "bit" of turmoil. With Rob's patient guidance, we learned how to apply certain techniques that helped us to better understand the needs of  "our pack". Our home is now a much happier place for everyone. I would highly recommend Rob to anyone and can't thank him enough." ~ Christine Calabrese McAllister

"Best trainer of animals I know, whether dog or horse he has endless knowledge and a special way of communicating with them. I have worked with Rob for two years and would highly recommend him for any degree of training." ~ Barbara Schnitzer

"I can honestly say that Rob changed my entire life, household etc by teaching us the "ins and outs" of doggy parenting. I adopted my latest dog from his wife and brought her into a home where my 4 year old shih tzu ruled the roost, the peace and harmony he brought here is amazing!!!" ~ Kathy Carleton DeSantis

"I have known Rob for many years in his capacity as a horseman. He grew up working on the Standardbred race horse track with his dad. Rob is tons savvy around horses, has a wonderful sense of humor and has helped me countless times with veterinary procedures, restraining and working with difficult horses. Responsible, reliable and hardworking, Rob and his wife Kristi have undertaken the noble mission of rescuing dogs and cats from animal shelters in the south. Additionally, Rob is now working as a canine trainer/consultant." ~ Dr. Matt Elliot, DVM

"Rob and Kristi helped us pick the perfect dog for our family. Rob has been very helpful by providing some training tips- and he gave us an in-home session to help ease the transition. Dante is a fantastic pet! We couldn't be happier and I highly recommend Rob's services." ~ Mara Freeman

"Rob's work with our rescue Shepherd Sam has been invaluable. Rob taught us how to keep Sam from bolting through an open door and it is amazing to see him now sit peacefully when the door is wide open. He taught us how to keep Sam from barking and running to the door when people come to our house, how to properly feed Sam and reward him, (without treats!), when deserved. Most importantly he crate trained Sam in one session which was no easy task since Sam has a severe crate aversion. Rob truly understands dogs and has taught us to see and appreciate our dog in a new light. His methods work and I would recommend him to anyone." ~ Cathy Dulecki
