"Just two weeks after adopting Reba (3 years old) from the SPCA, I made an appointment with Neil to come meet us and possibly hire him to help me train my new four-legged best friend. Neil shared a plethora of information with me about dogs, food, behaviors, and even down to what type of harness would work best for my dog. Reba and I are rounding our three-month anniversary together and she listens, she doesn't jump on people, she comes when she's called, and most importantly she walks like a champ on the leash. Dog training is more about training the owner than it is the dog. And Neil is just fantastic I highly recommend him whether you have a new dog, a dog you've had a while, a purebred, or a mixed rescue. Neil is your guy!"

"Gratitude for Positive Touch Dog Training 🐾
I've known Neil since junior high, and his love for dogs has always been a core part of who he is. Today, that compassion shines through every aspect of Positive Touch Dog Training.
Neil has continued to support me and has helped Jameson and I work through some challenging times and Neil has been a steady, compassionate presence through difficult health moments. His approach is rooted in kindness, understanding, and respect for the unique bond we share with our animals.
He's not just a brilliant trainer—he's someone who honors that bond and helps nurture it. If you're searching for someone whose work is defined by empathy and integrity, I wholeheartedly recommend Positive Touch Dog Training
Thank you, Neil, ❤️"

"I have 4 amazing Golden Retrievers, and they are typical Golden's…jumping and very enthusiastic to greet everyone! Especially house guests, and it's embarrassing. I would generally have to lock them up until the person came in and they settled down.
I've had multiple trainers work with them and yet they just never got the concept. Then I started with Neil at Positive Touch Dog Training.
With Neil's positive approach, the pups actually listened to him, listened to me and it was wonderful to see them follow through and keep what he taught them. I would HIGHLY recommend Neil to anyone that wants any type of training for their dogs. He helped fix things I didn't even realize they should not be doing. It's nice to walk in the front door and not get jumped on and pushed back out the door with all their excitement!"
Thank you Neil!
