Our biggest concerns were with the lack of progress we were making in training our small dog on simple commands like “sit”, and trying to train our large dog to be less impulsive. David had a lot of great techniques for both of our dogs, who couldn’t be more unalike in temperament. He had great techniques for working to build our chihuahua’s confidence and reinforce the “sit” command without forcing her to comply. He also had helpful techniques, tips, and games we can play with our large d…

Bringing a dog into the family is a big responsibility with many rewards. It is up to us owners to maximize the success of the adoption and enjoyment. All dogs have different personalities and habits. Some of these habits can be of concern. Some of the more problematic habits are: aggressiveness towards other dog or humans, jumping on elderly parents, lack of overall control. When we adopted Ruby (a 4-month old Labrador/mix puppy), we experienced the above habits. It was our res…

We began working David to help us with getting our dog, Zyrus, to walk on a leash along with a few other behaviors. Zyrus is a lab mix and is a big, strong rambunctious puppy. We needed assistance to help control our large puppy better! In our private lessons, David was a pleasure to work with and full of helpful ideas. He patiently helped us teach Zyrus to obey commands, stay for extended periods of time, greet people appropriately without jumping on them, and he greatly improved Zy…

Knowing that I had just adopted a high drive German Shepherd was a little overwhelming to say the least! I got my dog Raksha with the goal to eventually work with her in a sport or activity beyond her being my pet, but I didn’t even know where to begin. Before I met David I was desperate to get her to a point where she was manageable for me – how do I deal with this high drive dog that I had just adopted? Her leash skills were non-existent, and she wanted to chase every car she saw. Living…

We were already enrolled in a Basic Obedience group class at the local humane society with our 7 month old labrador, King, who we have only had for 5 weeks. While King was already versed on basic cues, we were in dire need of building his confidence up, as well as teaching him leash manners / polite walking — things we knew he needed (and we required!) as we were getting acquainted with him.

My first initial phone call with David was so insightful, as I had some very basic questions – f…

Before Maisie and I started working with David, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to keep her. I rescued her from a shelter with no knowledge of her background, thinking she was just a little shy from being in the kennel and would warm up into a friendly dog eventually. She did warm up to me, but I soon realized she wasn’t just going to warm up to everyone, and I was in for more than I had bargained for. I live in an apartment complex with thin walls and a plethora of dogs, and Maisie …

The Classes are well structured and move at a pace that’s easy to follow. Even though we took group classes, we were always afforded the opportunity to ask questions and get answers to our specific behavioral issues. Thank you, iWorkDogs Dog Training Co.

What do you get when you combine an inexperienced owner with a large breed of dog from a working line? Problems, plenty of them. As an new owner we had a few concerns with Genève as a puppy. She was “mouthy” (biting hands, feet, or anything else she could get a hold of) and jumping up on people when meeting them. This is not ok, especially with a large dog. As you can imagine my wife and two young daughters did not appreciate this. This was heartbreaking for me, I love my dog! There was…

I’ve had a lot of trainers over the years but David ranks among the most excellent. My breed, the Tibetan Spaniel, is not the easiest to train obedience because of their independent and stubborn nature and their tendency to try to train humans to do their bidding. No matter how much my dogs tested David and tried to school him into their ways, his patience, sensitivity, quiet authority, and dog savvy enabled him to establish a great rapport with them, both the puppy and the 15-year-old mat…

We had tried all kinds of different dog training courses before finding David at iworkdogs.com. With three young rescue dogs, we faced many challenges with our dog pack. One of our rescue dogs had been described as “untrainable” by his previous owner before that owner surrendered him to a shelter. Another one of our dogs had been rescued from the streets and, consequently, was scared of everything and everyone. Our third dog simply lost his mind whenever anyone approached our home and had …
