Modern Dog Training Testimonials

I just want to thank you so much for the great videos you make. I send your Leash Reactivity Less Stress More Success to clients all the time. As well, I have started doing a 2 hour class on Dog Behavior: Science vs. Myths. I do this as “people only” education and a fundraiser for local rescue groups and I show your Heavy Hand Myth video. My passion is educating and empowering people with the information they need to train and ensure they create and maintain a loving trust bond with their dogs and you help me achieve that! Thank you thank you thank you!

Thanks for all the wonderful videos on YouTube. I am just starting out as a trainer in Denver and I find so much inspiration from your content. Everything that I have seen and heard from you is so on point and practical. Thanks for extending the influence and effectiveness of force-free training.

Rebecca and I would like to thank you for all that you have done for Riley and us. She has been a wonderful addition to our family, but we could not imagine what the transition would have been like without your help. Riley is the first dog Rebecca ever owned and the first one I have owned since I was a child. With that being said we certainly made some mistakes along the way, but your help we are much more confident owners and know that Riley will benefit from that. Matt & Rebecca Baier and Riley.

Oh my. Let’s just take a moment to celebrate. What are we celebrating? YOU! Man, if only all of us dog trainers had half your passion, dedication, self-reflection and pushed the dog world to be better, it would be in an awesome place. Seriously – thank you from all the dogs and people you have helped and will help in your life.

Thanks so much for your encouragement!! I have learned both management and how to initiate counter conditioning for my dog and my neighborhood learned to hold a dog guardian responsible for allowing her dogs to attack people off leash through the Pennsylvania dangerous dog statutes. The other pit bull owners and I have been able, after multiple attacks, to protect our community against an irresponsible dog guardian. Your videos with reactive dogs touch my heart. They give me insight into my own dog and the progress made I’m not fearing the new, be it things, people, or other dogs. Watching a dog go over threshold then be removed from the stimulus helps reinforce my improved timing with my dog.

I want to say thank you again! Today, we went to the park we had stopped going to because Simba would ceaselessly bark at any dog less person she saw. I was very nervous, but she’s a young dog and wants to run, so I muzzled and unleashed her to her friends. Some 15 minutes later, I de-muzzled her! She barked at only 2 people out of a hundred, and it was far from the compulsive barking and chasing she used to do – both times she just stopped at a distance, said ‘woof-woof’, turned around and went about her business. The other dog people who know Simba were amazed, and I was so relieved! I am continuing the routine I started, and despite some setbacks, I’ve started seeing real changes in her behavior. I am ever so thankful for your help!

I must say, we see a change in our boy Bugsy already! Drayton came highly recommended by a neighbor and I am so glad we took her advice. We had 2 very negative experiences with trainers when Bugsy first came home, and we were all but convinced that we were alone in our journey to train him. Drayton not only was patient and gentle with Bugsy, but also patient with us! He answered ALL our questions, and reassured us that everything would be OK. For very worried, stressed owners – this is of utmost importance. Best of all – Bugsy gave him hugs and kisses by the end of our session, which was not something we have experienced before! We can’t wait to return for more sessions and to implement the detailed, wonderful plan that MDT has given us. I cannot recommend them highly enough!! 5 Paws up!

Thank you so much for the training plan. We have already begun to implement some things discussed during the session, and now we can do more. We’ve met with a lot of trainers between my family dogs and now Tully, and I’ve never experienced a session like that. We can’t thank you enough! We really do appreciate it; it was an absolute pleasure!!
