Our Clients Say
Rory is an amazing trainer. He has a wealth of knowledge and multiple strategies that helped immensely with our dog. Our sessions were informative and helpful. He was always available to answer questions, explain behaviors or offer advice. Our dog took obedience and socialization classes with Rory and benefitted greatly from both. I love that Rory comes to the house for sessions, it's so convenient. If you are looking for a positive rewards dog trainer, Rory is fantastic and exactly who you need!
