Why Leonard is Different

A big part of eradicating your dog’s behavior is teaching you how to connect with your dog on the animal level instead of the human level. The relationship needs to be one of balance, trust, respect, structure, and leadership. Leonard will teach you how to maintain the transformation once your dog’s training is complete.

Two months after my dog has been home from doggy boot camp. I don't have any problems barking like I had before or being aggressive in the house or in front of the house.  I don't even have any problems with her being aggressive in the car anymore.  Also she's not aggressive with me personally.

We are thankful everyday for our decision to work with Leonard. Our French Bulldog Yoshi is doing so great. We are able to see light at the end of the tunnel with a dog that listens to us. I cannot say enough of the life change that we are experiencing in our lives through the work with Leonard.

Leonard is a great trainer who really knows what he is doing. I'm so glad my boyfriend and I decided to take our rescue pup to training. Even though our puppy is technically a senior dog Leonard was still willing to train him.

We are now about a month out after she finished bootcamp and she is a truly changed dog! Leonard not only gave her the confidence to handle her anxiety, but also taught her how to walk away when she is around something she doesn't like (e.g. new people, loud noises, the Roomba, etc...).

I brought my 9-yr old, lab-mix rescue to Leonard for consultation prior to boot camp. Within the first 15 min of the visit, I could already see my dog transforming into a dog that I had not previously experienced.

I had the best experience with Leonard. He was professional, to the point, and kind. Leonard is a master of his profession and changed the way I now see my dog (for the better) and the respect and bond that I have with my dog.

Elliott spent 3 weeks with Leonard and we met up with him during and after that time to review skills. Now Elliott can easily walk by other dogs on a leash without reacting. He is also much better behaved at home because we have better routines with him.

My fiancé and I just finished our two hour consultation with Leonard and our two dogs. It may have been the most constructive 2 hours we've spent with our dogs since we've had them. As a matter of fact, it DEFINITELY was. We are confident that those two hours will change our relationship with our dogs forever.

Changing Our Belief System Changes Our Dogs What I figured out was that we are putting our human belief system into the dog, and that’s why the dog loses his animal self and does not know how to interact with his own kind. When the dog loses the animal, he loses his stability. That loss of stability is at the center of dog behavior problems. If the dog can’t trust you, he isn’t going to respect you. If he doesn’t respect you, he isn’t going to listen to you or follow you. This is what working with wolf packs, wild animals and 30 years of loving dogs has showed me.

In loving memory of Tanner. I work with Tanner about eight years ago. He was a very fearful dog. He stayed in my care and went to Doggie Boot camp. The owners really took care of this dog. Otherwise the training would’ve never worked out. Tanner will always be on my mind because he was a special dog like their owners. Will miss you Tanner. Here is a short video on before and after.

Testimonial on 20-month old Cavapoo 1 highly recommend Leonard (Dominant Dogs) boot camp for many reasons but there are few that rise to the top. We can't thank him enough for helping our 20-month old Cavapoo and our family. First, he is extremely honest, diligent, empathetic, and communicative. From the beginning, he he listened to all of us in our family about our experiences with our pup. His attention to ensuring my son was part of the process really made big difference in the success we experienced. And, you can tell immediately his ability to connect with and understand dogs. Second, his skills, knowledge and expertise are unmatched. He took the time to get to really get to know our pup and connect with us daily so we were fully engaged and learning while our pup was with him. We saw a tremendous difference as soon as we took him home - in many ways he was like a different dog. Still the dog we love so much, but much more calm, attentive, and recognized we were in charge. Third, he cares. He truly cares about our family and our dog. It is amazing to see my son walk our pup now. Our pup is not only calm, but also so caretaking and attentive. We are continuing to learn new tools (we got the lifetime package and highly Expert in dealing with dog aggression.
