My fiancé and I are raising a 2 y/o long hair German shepherd named Parker. The best decision we’ve ever made was working with Dom. Parker has always been high energy & lacked a little focus which inevitably lead to some reactivity and over protection of us, and an increase in our anxiety with him. Working with Dominic really changed how we live with Parker and we are now able to give him the best life possible in city. We went from struggling on walks to completely off leash in the park, incredible behavior change & just overall happier pup which makes us happy! We have entered a new chapter of enjoying being dog parents, and we give that credit to Dom and the work we’ve all done together.
I can’t recommend Dominik highly enough. From the very session, it was clear how knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested he was in both our dog and us. The training sessions are well-structured and tailored to my dog’s personality and needs. The progress we’ve seen has been incredible — not just in obedience but in confidence and overall behavior. What really sets Dominik apart from the rest is his ability to explain why certain behaviors occur and why his technique works, which made it easy to stay consistent between sessions. He truly cares about both my dog and I success. If you are looking for a trainer who deliver reals results while making the process positive and rewarding, look no further. I can’t express enough how working with Dominik was truly one of the best investments I’ve made for myself and my pup!
Working with Dominik has been a game changer for my dog's recall and general obedience. It isn't easy to find a behaviorist who will incorporate training aids like ecollars for added safety off-leash, but Dominik's program does, and I greatly appreciate his ethical and compassionate approach to providing this balanced training. I also appreciate him traveling out of his way for our sessions, and his flexibility in allowing me to make game time decisions about keeping or rescheduling our sessions when the weather is looking rough. Overall, I've seen results since day one and learned a lot along the way. He is highly knowledgable and I'm amazed at how far we've come with his help. Thank you Dominik!
I have had Toby for 4 years and struggled to find a trainer that could really connect with Toby and solve some of his lingering issues- but Dominik did. Dominik gives a masterclass in dog psychology and helps you better understand how to interact with your dog to give them the best life and keep them happy. Our walks have become so much more enjoyable and his anxiety is definitely reduced. Dominik always made our sessions enjoyable and we looked forward to working with him. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their relationship with their dog or looking to help their dog manage their emotions/anxieties.
This will sound cliché, but working with Dominik has changed our lives. We called him after I ended up being pulled into the mud on a walk and realized we had hit a wall with Snow's reactivity. Before training, Snow was slightly anxious, very reactive, and essentially hard to manage on walks. We felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. and trust me, we had tried many things. From the very first session, Dominik brought a sense of calm, confidence, and clarity. Not just to our dog, but to us as owners. We started with a test session where Dominik took the time to understand Snow and her triggers. We then decided on a package of six sessions, which turned out to be incredibly effective. After just the first two sessions, Snow was a different dog — and I was a different leader. With each session, we saw tangible progress, not just in Snow’s behavior, but in how we interacted with her. We became more confident, more consistent, and more connected to her needs. Walks are no longer a source of stress. Snow is more relaxed, more responsive, and we’re finally enjoying our time together outdoors. We couldn’t recommend Dominik highly enough. If you're struggling or feeling stuck, don’t wait — working with him is one of the best decisions we’ve made for our dog and ourselves.
