Where do I start! Freddie is an amazing dog trainer. But I feel “trainer” isn’t the right word. He is dog translator!We adopted our beagle, Wally, at 10 months old, and let me tell you the first few weeks were incredibly stressful. Long story short, Freddie showed us that Wally felt the same. He was as equally stressed as we were. Which was the cause of most of his “behavior issues.”It turned out, it wasn’t Wally. It was us. Freddie is so good at translating dog language to human language....

I reached out to YDBF for help with my 6 yo Shepherd mix Sadie. Freddie was our trainer and I highly recommend him. In the first few minutes I could sense his knowledge and appreciation for dogs and, especially, the relationship between dogs and their people. He gave me the tools and the confidence to make changes in a positive way creating mutual respect between Sadie and me. We addressed jumping on people, lunging out the door, leash walking and counter/table surfing, all with...

Peace of mind! After working with our trainer, Freddie, not only has our 7-month old puppy's behavior improved, but we are feeling SO much better as pet parents.

Freddie gave us real life, real-time practical strategies that we could immediately put into practice. He made it simple, but still explained the "why" (which made us feel...

I cannot say enough good things about Freddie. His philosophy, communication, and gentleness around dogs was just what I was looking for. Only three sessions later, I have a totally different dog because I now understand what she’s telling me and how I can better respond in a way that makes sense to her. Freddie made sure my dog and I were a strong team and build upon the foundations of our relationship to make us more in tune with each other. I am looking forward to walking my dog...

I was completely lost with how to address issues with my 7-year-old rescue dog, who was becoming increasingly reactive during walks. Freddie stepped in and immediately began dissecting the reasons behind her reactions and equipping us with the necessary tools to address the situation. Freddie's patience was remarkable, and instead of merely telling us what to do, he demonstrated that positive and effective transformation for our pups is achievable. I am grateful for the newfound tools and confidence Freddie has given us. Thanks to his guidance, we now go on...
