Darryl has been an incredible asset in helping us understand and address our dog Callie’s behavioral challenges. As my third Miniature Schnauzer, Callie was very different from my previous dogs, and we quickly faced some unexpected behaviors. Darryl immediately recognized her unique needs and provided practical solutions. One of our biggest issues was Callie bolting out the front door and running across the street. Thanks to Darryl’s guidance, we can now have conversations with the door wide open, and she no longer runs off.

​Darryl also suggested Agility training to help channel Callie’s high energy. We enrolled her in classes, and she thrived! She loved it and was exhausted for days—an unexpected bonus. Darryl’s keen insight extended to everyday activities, like teaching us the benefits of Rope Tug, which became an instant favorite for burning off energy. What stands out the most is Darryl’s ability to explain the “why” behind each technique, giving us a deeper understanding of how Callie responds to us. He taught us that training begins with us, the owners. His patience, clear advice, and realistic feedback have given us the confidence to implement these strategies with lasting success. Darryl truly loves what he does, and it shows in the results we’ve achieved with Callie.
