Some of our clients have driven hours to see us and they'll tell you it's well worth the trip!!!
Just a few testimonials from previous clients!
Hi Dave - We couldn't be happier with the training we received with you. I doubt Schultz would have ever gotten off leash if not for you. It’s great to take him hiking or just playing in the backyard with the family. We know his hunting instincts are dominant. Yet with the training we received from you, Schultz is becoming a wonderful family dog. Even his house manners have improved. We have a friend who has a strong fear of dogs. She is able to pet and socialize with Schultz because we’ve been able to control his jumping. He never jumps on anyone. We don’t know where Schultz and our family would be without his training. I’m sure his life is more enjoyable because of it. We enjoy him to the max. We would also like to add that we found your facility clean and well kept. Your property is nicely situated on a wooded lot away from highway traffic. We were also impressed with your professionalism and knowledge of dogs. We have highly recommended you to several people.

Dear Dave - I have recommended you to several people who are and were having problems with their dogs. Mack is wonderful thanks to you and the training we both received has helped immensely. He now finally understands that he should not bolt away into the woods, disappearing for hours. I have also used your wonderful teaching methods on our other dog, Otis and he has learned to obey us better and to stay home. Mack, Otis, Bob and I thank you again and again. If it weren’t for you, I’m certain that all my chickens and ducks would be dead and the cats would have to live up in the trees!

Hi! Here’s something I tell anyone who listens to me talk about Lucy’s instruction: This was one of the most interesting things I’ve ever done. I learned a lot and really enjoyed it.

Just a note for you. We took Bozley to get his picture taken for his first birthday. The photographer said he was the most well-behaved Mastiff she ever saw. We get a lot of compliments like this when we take him places. Thanks to your training.

Dear Mr. Balmat - Thank you so much for letting me do my apprenticeship with you. I’m also happy I was able to see a lot of other dogs, as it showed me a variety of the breeds you work with, and the things you train them. I liked the tracking and bitework best. It was exciting, and I’ve always been interested in having a dog that is more than just a well behaved family pet. Thanks again for the wonderful experience.

Hello Dave - I enjoyed the classes and feel it was very beneficial for the both of us. I feel I’ve become a more responsible pet owner and that I can better discipline Schultz and Schultz has become a responsible pet thanks to the training we received at your classes.

Dear Dave, Schauntzie and I could never have done it without you. Thanks so very much for helping me have a really great and obedient dog. By the way, Schauntzie is not the only one who has learned things from you, Dave. You have taught me also. I’ve learned that consistency, firmness, and a loving pat on the head can turn the worst protester into a valuable, loving, trusting companion. Believe me that’s saying a lot for a dog I almost gave up on. Thanks again.
Sincerely,

Hello Dave, Just thought I’d drop you a note. It’s been over a year since I first spoke to you on the phone about finding a home for Buddy. He was truly driving me crazy. Now I can’t imagine what I would do without him. It was one of the best investments I’ve ever made, coming to train with you. He is truly a joy to be around now and I take him everywhere. Buddy and I thank you.

Dear Mr. Balmat, We wanted to thank you for meeting with us and our dog Nel’s Drummer recently. We were very impressed with your service and facility and will highly recommend you to our friends, family, and acquaintances in the future. Thank you very much for helping us.

Hi Dave,
We just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with your dog training classes.
Our Golden Retriever is such a loving dog that we could barely contain her when guests would come to our house. She was literally all over them! Now, after sticking to the training process, she is able to sit and stay until we tell her it's ok to go. Our walks are no longer a tug of war but a joy for all of us.
Thanks again,
The Werkheisers,

Dear Dave....
Thank you so much for the wonderful training of our dog, Cholo, that we received from you. As you know, he was six months old when we got him and not housebroken and had not been exposed to much other than other dogs. He's now well socialized and is a pleasure to share our home with. We all learned alot during the initial obedience training and we'll be back for the next stage of training. Thanks again, Dave!

Hi Dave,
I just want to say that I am very happy with the training Dino & I both received. Your instruction was excellent.You built up confidence in both of us. Dino is still quite a puppy in many ways, but if you recall the one command I wanted him to learn was to come when called, no matter what. And he does this without hesitation. He really is a good dog and your obedience program played a huge roll in his behavior.
Thank You Again,
Gail
Dear Dave,
We would like to thank you again for the productive training experience we had. We can see a very positive change in our dogs behaviors. Your knowledgable and friendly manner helped us gain control of Jackson and Petie. Thank you again for all your help!

Dear Dave,
Just want to thank you for all you did for us with Stony. For as much as we love him we were getting rather disgusted with him for taking off on us, and we'd have to go after him and he wouldn't come to us. With Stoney, your knowledge and know-how showed us the way to work with him and we accomplished by the time he was 8 months old what took a couple of years to do with our other dog, Yeller. It's a pleasure to go outside with him and have us in command of him, instead of him in command of us. You gave us our life back and made it easier and more enjoyable for him and us! If we ever get another dog we wouldn't hesitate to bring him to you. Your evaluation of Stoney was correct and showed us the areas we needed to work on to make him the dog he is today!
Thank you again for all your help and making it so very easy for a dog that listens so well.
