  After having worked with several other trainers previously, I was hesitant to try another. However, our 2 year old field lab was a handful and we needed help. I found Greg's site online and sent him an email, and from his initial response on through all our sessions, I found him to be truly pleasant to work with, and very knowledgeable about field labs and dogs in general.
  
  At first, we were going to drop our girl off for a board and train program, but we quickly realized we just couldn't leave her overnight. She's as much a part of our family as our children, and is with us 24/7, so needless to say we weren't going to work with just anyone. Greg, understanding our concerns, was flexible and helped us come up with a plan. We did 1:1 sessions, dropped her off a few times, and within 6 weeks of 2-3 sessions a week I was getting "wow, she's well trained" and "how did you get her to stay there like that" comments. Pretty amazing considering how much energy she has, and how stubborn she can be.
  
  Now, I said we'd never board her overnight, and to date we haven't. Our life/schedules permit that she's always with family, but if in a pinch, I wouldn't hesitate to take her to Greg. He's a genuinely good, honest person, and I trust him completely. What I like the most is he's honest and flexible... ever heard the one "if you put three trainers together, the only thing you'll get two of them to agree on is the other one is wrong." Well, Greg worked with us and helped to provide a lot of good alternatives when we were honest about what we would really and really not do when at home. None of this you have to do it this way or else it won't work garbage.
  
  Bottom line, he's a knowledgeable trainer and a really nice guy to work with. You can't go wrong by giving him a call.
