Testimonials & Feedback
“Lee is an AMAZING trainer! Our dachshund Noodles had been abused by his first owner, a male. As a result Noodles was much too affectionate with my husband and very aggressive toward me. Lee worked his magic and now Noodles is just wonderful with both of us! He's so well-behaved!”

“Lee is very knowledgeable and empathetic with neurotic NYC canines (and their owners). He has been wonderful in transforming our overly snappish Eskimo dog, Hamilton, into a kinder and gentler pooch. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
—Ann Fox
“We met Lee about a year ago after moving from Australia with our rescue dog Toby, who was severely traumatized as a young pup. Toby used to bark at every dog he saw. Then Lee taught us his unique methods. It was hard at first to 'praise' Toby while he was barking at other dogs but it works! He responds really well to it. It's made our lives so much easier!”

“Thank you so much for your blog on Canine PTSD.
I first wrote to you about our dog Alpine after a rain storm caused him to try to escape through every door and window in the house. Immediately after writing to you, we started the pushing exercise, as you suggested, as well as tug and bark therapy.
The other day it was raining loudly enough to get him into a full quiver and panic. I was shocked….on his own he retreated to a room that is quiet (no sky lights) and was sound asleep! What a difference!
I can't thank you enough for your blog and your suggestions on how specifically we might help him. I feel it saved his life…”

“When my bichon Kobe and I moved to New York he developed separation anxiety. Lee taught me how to do pushing and collecting with Kobe. He loves these games. He's gotten so much better in just the last two weeks! He's so much happier! THANKS, LEE!”

“Lee’s techniques facilitate an amazing connection with your dog. I could never have achieved slavish obedience with my Tibetan spaniel, Butters, but I have something much better—Butters is my buddy, he is in my head and knows what is needed, and he does what is needed because he wants to.”
—Margot Donkersloot
“My rescue dog Bailey used to have leash aggression with other dogs on the street, but only if they were his size or bigger. He was also getting into fights at the dog run. I hired Lee, and he fixed everything. Now Bailey is a total love muffin. Lee is a lifesaver!”

It's not unusual for dog trainers to ask some of their former clients to post testimonials on their websites as I've done here. But I've also added a unique feature: a place for dis-satisfied customers—if any—to post their feedback (though I won't object if you post nice things instead).
Note: This feature may not show up on some mobile devices.
