We started working with Will when our corgi’s, Duncan and Beau, were 1 year old and 9 months old. We had adopted Beau when he was 6 months old and he had no socialization, never been on a leash and had never been anywhere other than the breeders home. He had many different behavioral concerns on walks. He was very reactive to people, dogs and cars and would pull very hard while on leash. Duncan was well mannered on the leash towards others walking by, but would pull and was a terrible listener and very stubborn. Recall was non-existent for both. Jumping and barking at guests that would arrive to our home was also frustrating. After working with Will, both our Corgi’s are better listeners, well behaved on walks and no longer pull and will stay in a heel. Recall has drastically improved. Beau has dominance aggression which has been unfortunate, but after training with Will, we know how to work with it and have tricks to keep his reactivity to other dogs more controlled so that walks are still enjoyable. We also have them trained to place cots, where they stay calm and settled when we need them to be. It was a wonderful experience working with Will. He made sure our whole family was involved and learning to be great dog handlers. He was very patient, thorough, knowledgeable and consistent with his training techniques and it worked wonders for our dogs and family. Thanks Will!!

Working with Will has been a life changing experience! My dog struggles with anxiety and dog reactivity after being attacked in her own home. I often became overwhelmed and unsure of the life I could provide my dog. Whether it was simply going for a walk or looking out the window, she was anxious, tense, and on alert. Will not only helped my dog build confidence, but also gave me the tools and knowledge to manage my dog’s behavior. I now feel confident as a handler to take control of the situation/behavior that took away the helplessness and panic attacks I faced nearly every day. His patience, expertise, and personalized approach were exactly what we needed. Every session felt supportive and productive, and I noticed significant improvements in my dog’s behavior and my own confidence within just a few sessions. While her anxiety and dog reactivity is still a work in progress, I feel that I have been empowered in ways that decrease anxiety and increase confidence for both myself and my dog. If you’re looking for someone that genuinely cares about both dogs and their owners, Will is the one to call!

We called Will after we saw a video of our friend walking their dogs in a nice heel. We have a Bernese Mountain Dog that would jump on our guests and pull on the leash during walks. After working with Will, our 12 year old daughter can now safely walk our dog around the neighborhood, something we would never have considered before training. We took a slow, methodical approach to teaching our dog clear pictures to make her life more enjoyable. And ours. Our dog knows what to expect and how to act when we’re at home, on a walk, or at the park. Will was patient with our family, led by example, and empowered us as handlers to enjoy our dog to the fullest!
