“Rei is super calm and patient, good examples and technique demonstration” -Kelly T. and their golden retriever Ruby, reviewing their Leash Manners Solo Tutoring Session with Reiichi Hanson

“Rei was great. He understands dogs especially since I had a rescue herding dog, Sheltie, and he has an Aussie. He also recognized my needs as semi handicapped and made appropriate Modifications. Everything was great.” -Kathleen S. and their Sheltie Vegas, reviewing their Private Lesson with Reiichi Hanson

“This was hands down (paws down) the very best training experience we’ve had – this after 16 years of welcoming goldens into our family. [What could we do better?] Somehow spread the word even more – all owners should go through your training programs to get on the right path for healthy, rewarding, and loving relationships with their new family members. It’s always training for the owner 🙂 Our dog, Truly Scrumptious, loved the training and really responded to Reiichi, who is patient, smart, kind, and a terrific teacher.” Susan E. and their Golden Retriever Truly Scrumptious, reviewing their Private Lesson with Reiichi Hanson

“My dog is a rescue, and while I don’t know his story before he came to me, I think he experienced some trauma with people hurting him. I was nervous that a trainer would use fear-based tactics to get him to listen, but Rei was absolutely the opposite in every aspect. His voice, demeanor, pace, philosophy, everything was so good for my dog and I would love to come back when I am able to.” -Isak M. and their Poodle mix Oscar, reviewing their Private Lesson/Service Dog Candidate Evaluation with Reiichi Hanson

“Rei did a great job preparing the class to be successful for all the dogs present. I like that the dogs were kept apart and screens liberally used to prevent distraction during class. He also did a great job balancing new activity instruction (while dogs used puzzle toys). Rei does a good job providing respectful in the moment feedback. I am so happy Lily gets to spend her mornings of puppy camp with Rei!” -Melanie M. and their Golden Retriever Lily, reviewing their Beginning Obedience class and Puppy Camp program with Reiichi Hanson

“Rei has been above and beyond!” -Brendan T. and their Australian Shepherd Agnes, reviewing their Intermediate Obedience class with Reiichi Hanson

“Our dog was happy there and Rei did a great job” -Chris L. and their Great Dane Daisy, reviewing their Beginning Obedience class with Reiichi Hanson

“The class was pretty much as-expected and as-advertised. Comrade was practicing “LEAVE IT” then other day when he tried to bring a chunk of tree into the house. His teacher would have been proud… or shocked… whatevs! Heehee. Oh, we practice “LEAVE IT” and “GENTLE” when it comes to the cats, too. 🙂 – Heidi N. and their Pit Bull Comrade, reviewing their Beginning Obedience class with Reiichi Hanson

“Rei took the time to assess our concerns and available time to address them and provided a solid action plan to get Morel in the right direction. We immediately saw improvement in her greetings with strangers once we followed the protocols provided by Rei and continue to use them to this day.” Cassie B. with Poodle Morel (“Mo”), reviewing their private training lesson with Reiichi Hanson

“Reiichi was so friendly and patient with Loki and super helpful with meeting Loki where he was at in his training (which at times was all over the place!). He was also very supportive and reassuring of me and my abilities as an owner and was just a real pleasure to work with! I looked forward to his enthusiasm in class each week and seeing where Loki and I could improve. It was a great environment for learning and Ill gladly recommend anyone to take Reiichi’s class!” – Patty B with her Siberian Husky Loki, reviewing their Intermediate Obedience class

“Rei was amazing in his ability to communicate and spend 1:1 time with me and my pet” – Brendan T. with Australian Shepherd Agnes, reviewing their Beginning Obedience class

“Tailoring to specific dog needs and responding to emails on other problems. Reiichi was great in and out of class.” – Devin D. with German Shepherd cross Dakota, reviewing their Beginning Obedience class

“Both Lindsay and Rei were incredibly patient with Penny’s excitability. I never felt embarrassed by her reactiveness (she REALLY loves people). Rei really took the time to get to know Penny and her history and adjusted his teaching with her, allowing her to learn with him.

“Rei took the time to sit with me and get to know Penny after our first class together, and I felt like that was a turning point for our class experience. I watched Rei adjust the way he approached Penny after that and how he introduced new behaviors to her so we could get the most out of our classroom experience. He then took the time to meet Penny one-on-one and make sure she was comfortable with him. He mentioned he was a newer trainer, I’m hoping he’ll consider conducting more group classes. Penny and I would be excited to work with him again.” – Tiffany A. with Bedlington Terrier Penny, reviewing their Beginning Obedience class with Lindsay Kinney and Reiichi Hanson
