"My husband and I often talk about how lucky we feel that we found Seth. Truthfully, being taught by Seth has been life-changing. We adopted our pup as a 4 month old who would grow to be a large dog. My husband and I have only had small to medium dogs in our family all our lives and we were also expecting our second child, so we knew we had to make sure we committed as much time and energy as possible to train our pup before the baby came. We started with puppy classes with Seth and learned the fundamentals of leash pressure and rewards. It was so eye-opening to learn methods that felt very natural and intuitive. She was already a smart pup (part Australian cattle dog and shepherd) and she thrived with the structure and accountability Seth taught us to provide to her. He also emphasized how important it was to meet her where she was at in terms of age and energy and I really appreciated his emphasis on that structure and accountability while reminding us to give her lots of love and breaks.

After the puppy classes, we decided to go for private and group sessions to continue her consistency and exposure to other dogs. A shining moment for us was after maybe our 3rd private session, we took her to a park and let her leash go so she could roam with lots of distractions for the first time (squirrels, people, kids, bikes, other dogs) and she listened to every ‘leave it’ and ‘come’ command despite all those things. We were floored and thoroughly impressed!!

I’m the type of person who asks a ton of questions when learning and constantly peppered Seth with questions during our sessions and he always gave us really clear and concise directions. He was consistent with the principles he applied, which made his lessons and advice easy to follow, and any time we were confused, he was very patient with repeating with us. You can tell he loves what he does and loves dogs and truly believes in their capabilities. He’s also hilarious and entertaining, breaking things down with real world examples.

We also did a 2 week board and train to train Sesame on an e-collar and Seth was super patient with her and us and though it took some time for us to get used to it and learn it, she’s a rockstar and we have so much confidence with her being off leash with the e-collar now. 

In all honesty, it took a lot of work and discipline to learn and train ourselves and hold ourselves accountable to being consistent with her training and Seth was there with us every step of the way, answering every question and giving suggestions. If you are willing to learn and truly want to create a strong bond with your dog, I cannot recommend Seth enough."​
