Dave is a wonderful trainer! He helped me train my dog, Logan, and reach the goal I always wanted to have Logan become a Canine Good Citizen and have him as my service dog! I learned so much from him and he's a great teacher! I can't thank him enough! Highly recommend!

I’ve known Dave Roberts for about 8 years. He is a good friend, an excellent dog training partner, and an all around great guy.
Dave has worked with many of my clients. He is a wonderful dog trainer as he does all of his training in a motivational/conventional style that makes sense to the dogs and is more enjoyable for the handler. Because of his keen understanding of dogs and the relationship between dogs and people, his training methods have been proven to result in a more successful dog/handler team. He teaches the owner to understand their dogs and predict their behavior, thus training them in a positive reinforced way.
Dave Roberts is the one dog trainer I would recommend wholeheartedly. You will be happy you chose him.

Exceptional! In just 3 sessions my dog and I were walking in rhythm together - no tugging, no pulling, no more defiance from a rather defiant Puggle. Those are things of the past. Now we cruise down the street thanks to your help. The best part is that my dog speeds up when I do, slows down when I do and coasts right by my side.
Thanks!

Dave's training experience and his knowledge of the canine species can be summed up with one word, "Phenomenal".
Maggie, my yellow lab, now nine months old, is my third lab. Dave has shared with me some of his training techniques which allow me to understand not only how Maggie thinks but also how she learns. I'm looking forward to continue learning and training with Dave and Maggie.-Barry Schneider
Dear Dave,
Thank you does not begin to express the appreciation that my fiancée Sean and I have for the wonderful training our Labrador Retriever, Britain, received with you. I researched obedience schools throughout the Northeast looking for the one that I felt would best suit our needs and from the moment I spoke with you, I knew you were the right person. You are truly a professional in your field.When we brought Britain to you, he was unruly because of his abundant puppy energy that fueled his lack of concentration and rambunctious antics. To everyone’s complete and utter amazement, he was trained to become a poised, well-behaved, and obedient young dog who is now more of a pleasure than ever! You settled him down without taking away his loving demeanor and very silly sense of humor. You will certainly be highly recommended to others. Your training methods are extremely effective, yet most impressive is the way you interact in a loving and positive way with the animals. We brought Britain to you with reserved expectations, now we are already planning his advanced training session. Thank you so much for everything!

My name is Bob Port and I just completed 2 weeks of on leash training with Dave for my Great Dane puppy named Cooper. What a world of a difference it is walking Cooper and having him heal at my side the whole time. It is great to see how Dave finds ways to challenge a dog so you actually see them start to think about what they are doing. Dave not only helped Cooper, but at the same time helped me. Dave taught and strengthened my dog training methods so that I could continue to work with Cooper. We worked on sitting, laying down, healing, and holding a place with and without distractions all by voice command. This is working great especially since Cooper is in the “puppy stage” where he is trying to challenge you and see what he can get away with. Thanks Dave

On this Labor Day I thought you might like to know that the fruits of your labors really paid off for us yesterday. Our dog, Katie, attended her first family gathering with over 25 people, 2 other dogs and a cat in attendance. Thanks to your training, she was the hit of the party !!!! Everyone loved her !!! Far cry from what she was when you came and took her for training. She even went next door to visit with the neighbor's little boys. There were four 5 or 6 year old little boys sitting on the ground giving her a "tummy rub" and she was enjoying every minute of it. She ran with the teen-age boys back in the woods of the Nature Center while they were gathering wood for the bon-fire my son-in-law had last night in the fire pit. A Philadelphia fireman who was a guest at the party said Katie was the nicest dog he had ever met in his lifetime. I'm sure he would not have thought that if he had met her prior to your training. So, THANK YOU !!!!

Dave this is what you did for Utley. I cannot tell you how well behaved he is with other dogs. He is exactly what every dog owner would want for a lifetime pal. I have recommended you to quite a few dog owners already. They could not believe how Utley behaved; people have said they never saw a boxer with such good behavior. I want to thank you again and again for your talent in training Utley. Utley even has a new girlfriend!

I have 2 Labrador Retrievers named Mollie and Maggie, who were out of control! I realized I needed help in training or the dogs would have to go! I searched the web and found Dave's webpage. After speaking with Dave, I knew I had the right trainer as he impressed me with his approach, his knowledge and his many years of experience.
After 2 weeks of training with Dave, Mollie and Maggie have made an amazing transformation and their behavior is stellar. They are much better listeners and are obeying commands. They both walk side by side with me without pulling. What a pleasure! My husband, daughter and I are truly grateful to Dave for the peace he has given our family.
I would highly recommend Dave to anyone who needs an outstanding dog trainer….thank you Dave!

After spending a lot of time training my Chocolate lab puppy for hunting, I was becoming worried when he wasn't listening very well and had become gun shy. I took a recommendation from another hunter and contacted Dave Roberts. From the first time that Dave came to our house, I knew my dog would be in good hands.
He was confident that he could cure the dog's gun shyness and break him of bad habits that he had learned. After two weeks with Dave our lab was a totally different dog. He no longer had a fear of the gun and had gained a solid foundation for retrieving. Dave then spent time with me so that I could learn how to successfully continue working on further training. As a result of Dave's work, my son and I were able to enjoy a very good hunting season and look forward to many more. Thanks Dave!!!
