Mastersway Dog Training

I recently brought my 18 weeks old purebred Labrador to Rick for training because I had heard about him years ago.
I like how he teaches you to be a part of each others thinking.
We spent half the first session training me I think. (LOL) Its amazing how many things I though were right for years actually seem confusing to dogs.
In 10 Minutes he taught her a for things right off the bat.
He also showed me his dogs, who seemed very confident, and were amazing.
He says that what you get when you learn to respect each other.
I cant wait to go back for her finishing touches.
He does king of tell you to be quiet, which can be hard to hear, but I would do anything this guy(Dog training wise) told me after speaking with him.
I also liked he doesnt use shock collar methods, etc. but gets you to understand each other. Five Stars Here!!

Rick was not only great in teaching our 7 yard old rescue dog to behave but taught me how to be a master as well! Thanks Rick!

We brought our 2 year old American bulldog and her three 7 month old pups to Rick for obedience training. Our dogs were extremely stubborn and hard to walk and a train wreck in the house. Rick saved our family from years of chaos. What he did and what he does is unbelievable. We have 4 well trained and well behaved dogs because of him. I will never go to any other dog trainer and will always recommend masters way to every one.

Rick at Master s Way Dog Training helped teach us how to have an outstanding canine companion. I would highly recommend Rick for any size or breed of dog. He uses methods that you have probably never heard of but most trainers do not really know how to foster a good relationship with your dog. Dogs need to be shown leadership and people need to develop a strong relationship with their dog in order to have the dog trust that their human owner is the leader and to respect them. We adopted our dog as a 12 week old puppy at DeWitt Animal Hospital. She is a Pit Bull mix and she is very energetic. We went from having to have her in her crate most of the time the family was around, because she was so energetic , to having her a part of our family the entire day. Rick does not use treats to reward your dog s every move and he does not harshly punish the dog. He teaches the dog to be a calm and obedient member of the household and a joy to have around. We had a hard time with her mouthing our family and visitors, chasing the cat, and jumping on visitors or us when we got home. Rick was able to train her first then he spent the next five weeks training the owner. He gave very individualized service and was available more than weekly if we had any questions or needed to practice. She no longer jumps, chases the cat, or mouths people. Rick can help the most frustrated dog owners who have already tried other trainers because his methods are not run of the mill, I have truly never met anyone so naturally in tune with what you and your dog need to have a good relationship and an enjoyable member of your family. He is able to work with dogs with problems with aggression to puppy education and has excellent advice and training for how to housebreak your dog. I wish we would have had Rick pick our dog up from the shelter for us and help us start off on the right foot with our new addition. This is a service that he provides! Rick is an expert in the field of dog training and he really helped us to develop a well-trained dog and owner in order to help us really enjoy our puppy! His training was more than worth the investment.

Provided unbelievable results, immediately. My dog was returned to me perfectly trained and continues to be a wonderful asset to my home and life. Rick was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and encouraging; very clear and direct in his technique; professional, personable, fair and serious about his training. He brought 100% to every lesson, and expected the same from me. He genuinely cared about my dog, and I left each time feeling confident and successful. People compliment me on how well-behaved my dog is, and it couldn't have been possible without Master's Way! It was the best money I ever spent and I will definitely bring all future dogs to Rick.
