Isabella & Figgy

“From our very first meet-and-greet call, Louis was incredibly kind and attentive. He listened closely to everything we shared about our pitbull Figgy, without a hint of dismissal, judgment, or drama. And when we met him in person for our first training session, he somehow managed to be even kinder. Louis showed us exactly what to do with Figgy, praised the hard work we’d already put in, and—this part blew us away—communicated with our dog in a way we’d never seen before. Figgy listened to him. He responded. He did the things Louis asked him to do, and you could tell it wasn’t out of fear or pressure. It was all respect and connection. We’ve only had two sessions so far (with at least nine more planned!) and already, Figgy has gone from being too scared to leave the house to going to the park four times. He now knows how to settle with us in the evenings and even understands how to end playtime calmly. This is huge progress! We’re not new to dog ownership. We’ve read the books, taken the online courses, joined the virtual programs—but this is something else. Louis brings a calm, deeply respectful, and intuitive approach that has already made a real difference for us. When we say he’s patient, we mean it. He cares about Figgy’s success almost as much as we do, and it never comes across as performative or preachy. He’s not in it to show off—he’s here to guide us. And we’re so, so grateful.”
