I cannot even begin to say enough wonderful things about Ricky and Divine Canine Solutions! We adopted very large sibling puppies and we knew we had our work cut out for us. Our dogs are a mixed breed and part of their lineage is quite headstrong and not always great at taking commands. You'd hardly even know it since we have been training with Ricky.
The biggest standout factors for me are:
1) He doesn't just teach the dogs commands. He teaches us how to work with our dogs, how to build the relationship and the bond. He helps us understand why we should do a certain thing a certain way or why to avoid particular behaviors. We have seen such astounding improvement in our pups since we've been working with Ricky.
2) He understands that real life doesn't take place in a training studio. He came to our home for private sessions, worked with us out in our yard, on walks around our neighborhood. Real life. Since we finished our round of private training, we take the dogs every week to a training class that's out in public, somewhere busy with plenty of other humans and dogs to provide potential distractions.
I cannot say enough good things. HIGHLY recommend!
