My husband and I were at our wits end with our Australian Shepherd puppy when we called Dillon for help. We set up a meet and greet and were instantly impressed with his training background and the feedback we saw from his other clients. Within the first couple of weeks of training, we were able to see a huge change! We can go on walks now and actually enjoy ourselves! We can go to the dog park and not worry about him running off and not listening to us when he finds other dogs to play with. We can even go on off leash walks with him and 100% trust him- something I never even fathomed would be possible anytime soon. We finally have the relationship with him we’ve always wanted and we constantly say how much it was some of the best dollars we’ve ever spent. I will forever recommend!
Easily the best dog training you can get, and its worth every penny! Dillon was great! We have 2 japanese akitas and the younger one had some bad habits. With Dillons help we stopped barking and socialized safely. He not only helped us train better habits but also helped us understand our fur babies better and taught us how to train beyond the sessions. Everything was customized to our dogs and us.
We recently had the pleasure of working with Dillon to help train our two Cane Corso puppies—aka our little (but actually massive) mini horses—and the experience was phenomenal. From day one, he was incredibly informative, patient, and hands off so we were in control and learning rather than him just doing it. He didn’t just teach our pups—he taught us how to understand and communicate with them better. His approach was structured yet flexible, adapting to each of our dogs’ personalities while still maintaining firm and clear expectations. Thanks to his guidance, we now feel so much more confident and equipped to raise well-behaved, obedient, and socialized Cane Corsos. We still have growing to do (literally and figuratively!), but we’re now on the right path and it’s all thanks to his help. Highly recommend to anyone looking to turn chaos into calm—even if your “puppies” are the size of small horses!
We could not be happier with the results from Dillon’s help training our Belgian Malinois. We were told by others that we were “crazy” for getting a breed as demanding as a Malinois (someone even begged us to get in touch the breeder and call the whole thing off). The first few months, before working with Dillon, we got a glimpse into why people felt that way. But as soon as we started working with Dillon, we understood that our dog was actually amazing. Once we could successfully communicate our expectations, our dog was so much happier and we were able to get him to a point where we can fully trust him in practically any environment. Now we’re extremely proud of how well trained our dog is and of the amazing relationship we’re able to have with him. None of this would have been possible without Dillon’s unique approach. We highly recommend Dillon to anyone and everyone!
Only great things about Dillon, his philosophy and his method. Despite the drive that characterizes his breed, Our 7 month old Belgian Mallinois is now the best family dog. We started working with Dillon when our dog was 8 weeks. Our dog is now a confident, happy dog that knows when and where he is allowed to be off leash and have more freedom. At the same time he is incredibly obedient and can be recalled and put on leash when needed without any issue. To create opportunities for training and the ideal learning environment, he even brought his own working dogs to some of our sessions. Dillon showed us how to communicate our expectations to our dog and build a happy, healthy relationship. He also told us what to expect in the months and years to come and how to calibrate our expectations. He is always available to help so we could text me for advice at any time of the day. I have no idea where we would be without his training!
