After struggling with our reactive rescue pitbull Zadie for months, HD Dog Training in Philadelphia completely turned things around. Working with Rob has been the best investment we've made in our new lives as pet parents. He doesn't just run through a standard training script; he really pays attention to what YOUR specific dog needs and adjusts his methods accordingly. We tried many other trainers and training programs, but Rob was the only one where transformation was almost immediate. Zadie used to be very reactive on leash, constantly pulling and jumping at people, animals, anything. Walking her was honestly miserable, and we were starting to feel disconnected from her because everything felt like such a battle. Now, we enjoy spending time outside the home together and she's honestly our best friend. Our friends who knew her "before" can't believe the transformation, constantly commenting on how much better behaved she is now. We've fallen even more in love with her because the stress is gone and we can actually enjoy our time together. If you're struggling with a reactive dog, HD Dog Training is absolutely the answer. Worth every single penny!

Highly recommend Rob and HD Dog Training! Before working with him, I was crying in despair of not being able to handle my rescue staff terrier's pulling on leash, high prey drive, and stranger reactivity. We tried several different trainers, none of which helped. Rob understood exactly how to approach our situation and gave us tools, training and support to meet our goals. I can now walk her down busy South Street where we live in a heel and not worry. I never thought it possible, but can now take her to a park, drop her leash, and call her back without worrying about her running away after squirrels. As a client, he is always available to answer questions. Cannot recommend HD Dog Training enough!

I worked with Rob at HD dog training for my pup. Within 8 weeks, we saw huge improvements in his lease manners and behaviors at home. Rob and his team were a pleasure to work with. They were professional, flexible with scheduling and great with my dog. Definitely highly recommend!! Happy dog and happy owner

Rob at HD Dog Training really helped us to manage our new rescue pup. What was especially great was providing us with the right techniques to correct bad behavior and reinforce good behaviors. We met weekly and the steady, incremental improvement was obvious from week to week. I appreciate the way that the lessons were tailored to our dog and tailored to us humans too! Recommend, 5 stars, would train again.

After adopting our first puppy this fall, we found Rob through a Google search and within a week, he set up a virtual consultation to meet us and our dog Daisy. We got the 8 week training package. Rob and Tineisha made scheduling training sessions super easy and Rob tailored everything to Daisy‘s age and temperament. We also took advantage of their boarding service and left Daisy with them while traveling over the holidays. They took great care of her and even offered pickup and dropoff! At 9 months old, Daisy knows all of her basic commands and we’ve learned so much about how to maintain her training regimen into her adult life. HD Dog Training was the best investment we made for her!

We got our puppy Nala when she was about 8 weeks old. By the time she was 9 months she was a very reactive dog that frightened easily and showed some aggression. We felt hopeless and needed more help than just the basic training we had done ourselves with her. HD Dog training was recommended to us so we decided to check them out. We met Rob and right away we knew he could help us. His passion and dedication for dog training gave us hope. After her board and train with Rob we could see a huge difference. She is well behaved, listens to commands and is just overall a better dog. You will definitely see results when working with HD Dog Training and I highly recommend them.
