We love Dylan and our dog loves Dylan. I have no doubt that she would choose him over me. Dylan has helped us learn so much about our dog as well as our reactions and interactions with her. He helped us identify triggers and how to manage them and made our walks so much better. He is responsive to our questions via text and flexible with scheduling. He’s the best!

Dylan was great!! My dog Frankie loved him and he was really helpful and patient in teaching me how to manage her. Not only did he really help in teaching me how to train Frankie, he also had all the explanations and background information as to why what he was suggesting worked and made sense. He’s super knowledgeable about dogs and dog psychology and after our sessions with him, I feel like I understand Frankie better! He’s also a super nice and reliable guy and materials he provided were helpful and professional. Highly recommend!

“We have been working with Dylan for around a year now, and I cannot recommend him enough. When we began our search, I was specifically focused on someone who would be predominantly focused on positive training and the fact that Dylan is LIMA certified was perfect and I really love his approach to training. We have seen significant improvement with Roux not just in training and his obedience, but also his overall demeanor as he deals with different situations and stress better. Again I couldn’t not recommend Dylan enough for anyone looking for a new trainer!”

“Dylan is absolutely the best dog trainer around! He is super flexible with our busy schedules and our reactive dog loves him! When we adopted Gizmo, we knew he was reactive with other dogs. The shelter we adopted him from recommended Dylan, as he was the trainer they used at the store affiliated with the shelter. We immediately started training with Dylan, and it made all the difference! Dylan gave us options, talked us through everything and made sure we were comfortable with Gizmo's training. When we first started, Gizmo could not even see another dog across the street without having a reaction. Now, Gizmo can go up and say hi to another dog he is interested in. Dylan also made sure to give us things to do at home to keep up with Gizmo's progress. I recommend Dylan to all of my dog owner friends because everyone can see the difference he has made in Gizmo. Our vet was floored when he saw the progress that Gizmo has made, and it is all thanks to Dylan!”

“My husband and I took our mini goldendoodle Bonney home in April 2022 at two months old. We both work from home and wanted to make sure she was well trained and developed good habits right away. We heard about Dylan through people in our building who described him as " a dog whisperer" - and that he is! Bonney has made so much progress at just 6 months old. Dylan helps explain the root causes behind behaviors and teaches us how to course correct. He tailors his approaches to your preferred style of training and is knowledgeable on techniques across the spectrum of rewarding vs corrective methods. Whenever he can, he gives us options so we can continue behaviors we love in a way that works best for all of us. Its more than just teaching tricks for treats, Bonney is learning to look to us for direction and obey in real life situations. Dylan is really the best - we have stated so many times how lucky we feel to have him for us and Bonney. I wouldn't recommend any other training!”

“Koda and I met Dylan as soon as she was able to (had all her shots). We began a long relationship with group puppy classes. These were fun and engaging as Dylan was inclusive and knowledgeable. I appreciated not only that he knew his stuff but that he was practical. Of course the 2 bonded and it was a very special one. When group sessions were done I switched to one on one lessons where Dylan coached me on how my behavior affected my pet’s learning. I have really been able to use his guidance and people remark at how well trained Koda is, especially on the leash. I recommend Dylan as he will make a big difference in your pet’s life.”

“We have worked with Dylan as our dog trainer for the past year now. Ever since our dog (Kiko) was a 4 month old puppy, Dylan has helped us with everything from the basics such as crate training, simple commands, and leash walking. Any questions or issues that may pop up, we can always count on Dylan to come to our rescue with a solution. We continue to work with Dylan frequently for more advanced training as we have seen it help immensely in Kiko’s development. Best dog trainer in Philly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐”

We started seeing Dylan in January shortly after we adopted our Dog, Tofu. Tofu is reactive to other dogs which can be really stressful and isolating. It feels like Dylan is on our team and always Tofu’s advocate and our advocate as Tofu’s humans. Dylan has been so helpful in empowering us with so many strategies and training techniques for Tofu’s reactivity and always helping us all progress further. We feel so much better equipped to keep her happy and safe and she’s made so much progress. We are first time dog parents and Dylan is our go to for any and all dog questions, he’s so knowledgeable and always has great advice. And any other behavior issues that have come up or things we want to work on he’s always helped us through. Dylan is a warm, kind and fun person to be around with a calming energy. We always look forward to seeing him and training sessions have become a favorite weekend activity for us and tofu.
