His prices are extremely reasonable also.

We brought our dog Doug into training with equal parts hope and skepticism. He's smart, loving…read more.. and wildly mischievous. From the very first session, though, something shifted. Almost instantly, Doug went from chaotic curiosity to calm focus--not because his personality was suppressed, but because it was finally understood. What stood out most wasn't just the effectiveness of the training techniques (though those were impressive), it was the perspective shift. We stopped seeing "bad behavior" and started seeing misplaced energy. Instead of correcting Doug, we learned how to redirect him--turning frustration into purpose and impulse into productivity. That change alone was a game-changer. The training style blended structure, consistency, and genuine affection in a way that felt natural and kind. There was no harshness, no shortcuts--just patience, clarity, and a deep respect for the dog in front of her. Doug didn't just listen; he trusted. Best of all, the improvement has continued. Each week builds on the last, and Doug grows more confident, controlled, and happy. The process didn't just train our dog--it trained us to be better humans for him. Sweet, intuitive, and deeply caring, she has a rare gift. Doug is proof.

Update: As John Van…read moreOlden has indicated in his comment on my previous review he has apologized and refunded *his portion,* but an apology is not worth $740 to me, which is the amount remaining that was paid and that I have yet to receive. This is not an inconsequential sum of money. I recognize that I can't hold John accountable for Greg leaving the company, but working with Canine Trade Group means there will be absolutely no oversight over your trainer. Regardless of whether the trainers are independent contractors or not, someone in business with them should be culpable and take ownership of the situation. Efforts made in John's comments to characterize this as a misunderstanding between Greg and myself about "events that transpired" could not be more disingenuous. I paid Greg and got nothing for my money. I fail to see how this could be a subjective dispute. As for Gregory J. Stewart, he has seemingly vanished off the face of the earth, after indicating that he would return a comical fraction of my initial payment and failing to deliver on even that. I don't know if he's training dogs elsewhere but wherever he may be employed I can't recommend hiring him or working with him in any capacity, as he has shown me that he has no ethics as a professional or even as a human being.
