Auggie
"So glad we found Ethan! He's a calm and effective dog trainer with so much knowledge and positivity. Our large dog can be reactive, anxious, and is very strong on the leash. Ethan taught me how to keep him engaged so we can both walk safely together. Ethan has a quiet confidence about him that works well. He's also a great listener and will really take the time to determine what will work best for you and your dog. I was so impressed by how our dog was around him - very calm and receptive. We will definitely continue to hire Ethan for any needed future dog training, his method is realistic and very effective. Thanks Ethan for helping us with August!"

Lennon
"'Ethan is a wonderful dog walker and our dog "Lennon" absolutely adores him. Ethan is very patient and loving towards Lennon (who can be pretty hyper) and every time Ethan comes to walk him, Lennon literally bounces with joy. I highly recommend Ethan for your pet'"

Thor
"Ethan has dog and house sat for us for 2 years now. Thor is a big dog and can be a bit unpredictable on walks, but Ethan knows how to manage him and we have total trust in his care of our fur baby. Ethan also cares for the house well while we are away, taking care of garbage and recycling, and anything else we ask of him. Ethan has a dog training background, which makes him great if you are concerned about a pup with special needs. Ethan also loves cats and is great with them too!"

Daisy
"Ethan was very friendly and worked well with Daisy. She's an older rescue dog that needed help with walking, greeting people appropriately and learning how to manage her barking. Ethan gave clear instructions, demonstrations and coached me with the different training steps. He followed up with us to see how we were doing. I would certainly recommend him for your dog training needs!"

Ranger
"I own a 10-year-old Great Dane German Shepard mix rescue dog. Ranger joined our family when he was about 2 years old. He was a very frightened traumatized dog. Ranger was afraid of men and began reacting to other dogs out of fear. Being a big dog, I became hesitant to take Ranger on walks, as I was never sure when he may react to other dogs. Ethan did not hesitate to work with Ranger, and Ranger responded well to Ethan’s calm, yet firm manner of correction using voice commands and leash correction. Ethan confidently took Ranger for a walk, paying attention to his body language and using gentle correction he redirected Ranger quickly and successfully upon seeing other dogs. It was so nice to see Ranger walking calmly! Ethan accompanied me on a few walks, providing encouragement and guidance, as needed, to ensure Ranger remained calm and not reactive. Ethan has a natural ability to understand why a dog is behaving in a certain way and I found him to be skilled at providing the needed redirection or correction.”

Coco
“Ethan was very informative and helpful with Coco. He gave amazing advice on how to correct leash pulling, reactivity to other dogs and people. As well as a whole guide to helping Coco with his separation anxiety. I can not thank Ethan enough for guiding us to a new and better future. Forever grateful from Coco and Kerri”

Lennon and I had a 1 hr session with Ethan and Buddy, and they are both so calm and easy going that Lennon loved it. Lennon’s issue has been passing other dogs and reacting to them. Ethan gave us some great training on how to redirect Lennon’s focus and encourage good behaviour. It was fun and the hour flew by. I highly recommend his services.

Ethan was generous with his time, patient with my nervous puppy, calm and reassuring. He gave me the skills to keep working with my dog to build her confidence. I'm thrilled he'll continue to support me as I learn how to train a dog with gentle compassion.

My spouse and I contacted Ethan to watch our dog and cat for four days while we were on vacation. Ethan did a fantastic job; both pets were well fed and socialized, and our dog's complicated medicine routine was followed perfectly. Ethan proved to have great instincts and strategies for endearing himself both to our affectionate but stubborn dog and our mischievous, aloof cat. The house was in immaculate shape when we returned home, and both pets were clearly in good spirits. We would definitely hire Ethan again and we have recommended him to several of our friends. Thank you Ethan!!

Ethan has a gift with dogs. We have a highly reactive rescue and by the end of our first session he was hand feeding her treats without a muzzle and she was as calm as a cucumber. I'm excited to keep seeing how she progresses working with Ethan.
