Client Testimonials
-Christy & Zoe-
"We’re so grateful we found Aaron to help with Zoe’s anxiety and fearful reactiveness, she is like a different dog now! We have worked with many trainers and behaviorists, but no one was able to connect with her like Aaron did. His patience, kindness and competency allowed Zoe and I both to ease into the training she (and I) desperately needed.
Zoe is a 6-year-old rescue that came to me severely traumatized. She was a complete love when she was in her safe spaces, but outside of those it was like a mine field. Walks were nearly impossible and getting worse with her barking and lunging at people and dogs at every turn. After working with Aaron daily for ten sessions Zoe and I can now walk outside with little to no incident. In situations that would have triggered her before she now turns her head to look at me and then moves on with confidence. We have even received several compliments on her improved behavior from people in our neighborhood that have struggled through her reactivity with us!
Working with Aaron was a wonderful, fun and rewarding experience for both Zoe and I, I could not recommend him more. Zoe and I are both so much happier, our bond is deeper and I now look forward to taking us out for walks!
Thank you Aaron!!!"
-Chelsea & John-
"Aaron Teixeira’s training method is the real deal. When it came to training our two spirited (unruly) Labradane pups, we saw significant results immediately. Using non-punishing training methods, Aaron was able to have them follow commands in short order. He gave my wife and I the tools needed to continue their training in order for them to become well socialized with both people and with other canines. Aaron is a true master of his craft with top level bonafides, and it’s easy to see that he is passionate about helping even the most troubled dogs. If you're looking for solutions, Aaron is the answer. I highly recommend Aaron and his (non-punishing) training method."
-Lasha & Mark-
"Aaron is an amazing dog trainer and we can’t recommend him enough! In fact, we’ve recommended him to every puppy owner we know who is looking for help training their pup. Aaron is a great communicator (with both humans and dogs) and has always been so friendly and helpful. He’s very responsive and often follows up after a session with takeaways and tips. He’s clearly very experienced and great at reading dogs, and he makes the training fun, too. We really trust our pup in Aaron’s hands and highly recommend you try out his services!"
