What Our Clients Say About Us

See what our happy pet owners have to say about us!

"A lifesaver!"

Enoch has been a lifesaver! We have a 7 month old male Corgi, George, and we’ve been working with Enoch since George was 12 weeks old. We’ve done training sessions and a 4 week board and train and Enoch has been awesome to work with- easy to schedule with, very responsive to texts and you can tell he really loves what he does and wants you and your dog to be happy. Enoch is incredibly patient with both the dog and the owners and we are so happy to have found Enoch!

George's Mom

"Worth Every Penny!"

I cannot emphasize how life changing this board and train was for me and my dog. Bracken was struggling with basically every behavioral issue, and Enoch and Emily helped him through it all. Bracken went through a lot of changes all at once and being in a home environment was really great for him. I have felt supported and well prepared to move forward with our lives and training journey, truly grateful for their resources and support. Extremely worth every penny!!

"A Pleasure to Work With!"

We have a rescue dog who is afraid of everything. After working with a trainer who used negative reinforcement methods, we are so glad we found Enoch! He is knowledgeable, calm, supportive, and all-around a pleasure to work with. I've learned so much from him and our dog made a lot of progress. I know he cares as much as we do for our dog and he's invested in our success. I'm looking forward to continuing working with him.

Bruno's Mom

"Recommend to Anyone!"

We have a 6 month old puppy who just finished the 6 training session package and the difference is amazing. Enoch knows everything there is to know about the best current practices and training methods for dogs, and also caters every session to not only what your dogs current needs are, but also what will come up later on to prepare/start training for now. Our dog also LOVES when Enoch comes and we learn more and more every time. We have recommended him to all of our friends and would recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer.
