I was referred to James of Who’s Walking Who? by a friend. I had a 3 month old puppy who I was struggling to house train. I haven’t had a puppy in years so I really needed help. The first thing that James did was to recommend a different type of food. He put Wrigley on a raw meat diet which immediately helped our potty training battle by reducing the number of times Wrigley had to go. Let’s just say that for a while, I was convinced the words “puppy” and “poopy” were interchangeable! But James’ raw meat recommendation was spot on. And Wrigley LOVES the food. She does spectacular spins all around the kitchen when I feed her!
So James happily sent me on my way with new food and some basic potty training tips. But Wrigley proved to be a much tougher case. She got to a point where she would go outside and potty and then come right back in the house and leave us little “presents” behind all of the furniture. So I called in the expert, James, again. He came right over to my house and watched how we were interacting with Wrigley. He showed me all of the ways I could train her and one of his suggestions was the Tri-Tronics pet collar. I was a little horrified by the idea of an electrical stimulant but I have to say, it was a much more humane way to train an especially small dog with a very strong will.
With just a couple of lessons with James, Wrigley has become the kind of dog everyone would like to have. She’s happy, obedient, and best of all….she doesn’t leave us “presents” in the house any more.
While the collar and the food have been helpful, it is James’ expertise that has pulled it all together for us. We are happier pet owners and Wrigley is a happier dog. We owe it all to James!

James was truly understanding of my tight schedule and reluctance that any training would work on my out-of-control Pug, Kevin. Despite my reluctance, I had him over for a home demonstration. I was completely blown away! My incorrigible dog listened to orders for the first time! It was absolutely unbelievable. Today, my little Kevin is well-behaved and has stopped all the barking, chewing and biting that was destroying my life (and my furniture!). I cannot thank him enough.
Maya was only 8 wks old when we got her. She was shy, very distant and didn't listen to a word we said. We couldn't even get her to come when we called her name! She would just stare at us with complete disregard and continue about her business. Then we called James and everything changed. Since then she's become part of the family. We take her everywhere with us and wherever we go people are always so impressed on how well-behaved and responsive she is. We even put on mini-demos for them! The people love it and Maya loves showing off! The relationship and bond we've developed with our puppy through Who's Walking Who? Dog Training is immeasurable. We can't thank you enough for helping us!
We would like to thank Brian for all of his help with our 2 year old 100lb Rottweiler, Kasper. We had aggression and dominance issues with Kasper from an early age, and had tried several other trainers and spent several thousand dollars, before finding Brian and his company - Who's Walking Who? Kasper was a nightmare when other dogs were present, he constantly wanted to fight them, and we also had food aggression problems with Kasper becoming very protective of bones and chews. The previous trainers (some of whom ‘specialized' in rottweilers) gave us mixed advice, ranging from “I can relocate Kasper for you” to insisting that Kasper wore a muzzle all the time he was outdoors. We tried intensive Doggy Boot Camps at significant cost, where the results were less than satisfying.
When I began looking for a dog trainer, I was having difficulty finding one because of my disability. Going to a facility was not an option, so when Who's Walking Who? offered a demonstration and classes in my home, I jumped at the chance. I couldn't believe the difference in my dog from just the demonstration.
The training we received has turned our out-of-control puppy into a wonder dog. Had it not been for your expertise and patience, I don't know if we would have been able to keep him. Thanks to you, it is impossible to imagine him NOT being here.
We were ready to take our dog, Grey, to the pound. He was constantly whining, digging, and disobeying our commands. Calling Who's Walking Who? saved Grey from the pound. The results from our new training techniques were instant. Now Grey is a new dog and much happier now that we know how to communicate with him. I can't believe we were almost ready to get rid of him.
T-Bone was three and a half years old before we adopted him in August 2006 had spent 2 years at Living Free, a pet sanctuary. He was a biter, so was hard to place. After trying a beginners training class and T-Bone biting two people, in desperation we contacted Who's Walking Who?.
I just wanted to send you a note thanking for the help with the training of our dog Buck. We we're on the verge of getting rid of Buck because he was a complete nightmare. But we decided to give Who's Walking Who? a call and we are so thankful that we did.
