I just got back from walk with Magic, we went with her dog friend Tucker who is the most well behaved dog I have ever met, well, Now Magic is the most well behaved dog I have ever met. I was able to walk our park for 1 hour and 15 minutes with my friend and her dog. I was even able to drop the leash and she stayed with me until I allowed her to roam while playing when I called her she came without reservation. I even tested her with my neighbor who she loves to see and…

Thank you to Sandy of Perfect Manners – you saved our dog. What a great experience for my entire family! Our dog, Chance was very protective and was lashing out and attacking almost everyone he didn’t know. Sandy taught us what we were doing wrong and what needed to change. Three months later and Chance is a new dog with just one meeting with Perfect Manners. Sandy is like the “Super Nanny” for dogs!

I guess I had my dog “repaired”… She was out of control and breaking my heart with her antics. Called Perfect Manners Dog Training and the dog trainer came out and patiently explained everything that was going on in my dog’s little canine brain. The trainer then taught my dog some basic obedience skills and laid out a plan of homework for me. 2 weeks later and she’s like a new and vastly improved dog. I’d recommend them highly! We were completely hesitant to bring in a dog trainer. We thought that was for other people, not us. But, we…

We have a 2 year old yorkie pom and a 9 month old yorkie poo. Their aggressive behavior on walks and the excessive barking inside and outside the house was miserable. I couldn’t take them on walks anymore, neighbors were avoiding us (I don’t blame them) and Perfect Manners was our “last ditch effort”. I told the kids if they couldn’t help us we’d have to find new homes for both dogs. Patti came out the day before Thanksgiving and within a half an hour of our 2 hour session, it was like we had two new dogs. They have…

Sandy is wonderful and very gentle with my dog Buddy. With his guidance, Buddy has changed from an insecure dog who barked at anything and everything into a calm little guy. It is a please walking with Buddy now. He no longer pulls ,barks or lunges at others dogs. People on the riverwalk have even commented to me that I have “such a well-behaved dog.”

Based on the other reviews, I had my first appointment with Sandy of Perfect Manners this week. I don’t give many 5 star ratings but I would give him a 10 if possible. I had hoped that with professional help I’d be able to walk my dog without worrying about being pulled down the icy street and spending time in the emergency room having my broken bones patched. Sandy came out (he was punctual) and asked me a lot of questions that had no apparent relation to simply walking my dog. He wanted to know everything from where the dog…

I have a six-month old Wheaten Terrier who, at four months, became terrified to leave our yard. At first, we tried to coax him with treats and comfort him to try to build his confidence. Nothing worked. Finally, in desperation, I contacted Sandy and Perfect Manners Dog Training. During the initial phone interview, I explained my frustration, and he asked me alot of questions that didn’t seem related to the problem. He visited our home and spent alot of time discussing our situation with my husband and I. Then he took our pup out by himself to “hear his side…

We just had our 1st session with Patti and we couldn’t be more appreciative and excited to see what the training brings for Diesel and us. Her style of training not only was calming for him but we were thoroughly engaged as well. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Michelle Murphy Facebook

Sandy, thank you for your visit today! Paco learned more in one hour than i could teach him in one year! I’ve already purchased my new leash. It was abundantly clear that the pet store had no idea what a training leash was. They tried to sell me one that extends and retracts and i said emphatically “no!” did find a cesar milan one at petco, my third pet store! I am going to reiterate our lessons today with my husband and my girls. I have already demonstrated to my youngest daughter how paco can sit! She was amazed that…

Prior to training with Patti, Maeve nipped at our feet, barked constantly at animals and people, and would jump on anyone who came in the door. My kids couldn’t play basketball in our driveway without Maeve going crazy barking if she was in the house, and barking and jumping on them if she was outside. Now Maeve stays in a down position outside and lets the kids play in peace. During our meals Maeve is in a down/stay position and never hangs out by the table looking for scraps. Now when Maeve sees me get food from the fridge, she…
