Our family was planning a vacation when my husband and our very large German Shepherd got into a very "heated" argument in the park and of course, the German Shepherd won the battle.  I was at my wit's end trying to figure out what to do with our family pet who had suddenly decided he was the boss!  We didn't want to take him to our regular pet-sitters as they had small children and we didn't know exactly what was wrong with our beloved dog.

 

Googling around the internet I called Canine Correction and ended up speaking directly with Roland.  That telephone conversation proved to be the best thing that ever happened to our pet.  I was extremely upset about my dog's future and going on vacation was proving to be much too stressful!

 

Roland visited our home two days before our scheduled vacation and spent some time with Gaelen (our dog).  My husband and myself could see Roland's experience and professionalism with Gaelen immediately.

 

We went on vacation leaving Gaelen in the care of  Erin from Canine Correction.  Erin stayed in our home with Gaelen and our other pets.  Upon returning it was obvious from the moment we stepped through the door that Gaelen was a much happier dog!  Roland worked his "magic" and the true winner was Gaelen.  We will continue to have Roland train us to be better dog handlers and I'm sure Gaelen will appreciate it! 

 

I highly recommend Canine Correction to anyone, whether you have an aggressive German Shepherd who needs some behaviour management or if you just want to go on vacation and know your house and beloved pets are in the hands of truly remarkable and professional pet-handlers.

 

Thank you so much Roland and Erin, we truly appreciate all you have done for us and look forward to working with you in the future.

When we adopted Sammie the rescue basset hound, we knew we might need some help as no one really knew her background.  Sammie wasn’t a destructive dog but did have some problems with barking, anxiety, and leash training.  As we were researching trainers with experience with rescues, we kept coming across Roland’s name so we decided to get his help.  When it comes to Sammie, we feel this was one of the best decisions we made as we saw results even after one training session.  Sammie now barks less when we leave the house and walks better on a leash.  As a bonus, we also have our another basset Cleo walking properly on a leash (she was very pokey before) which has turned our once frustrating walks into an enjoyable experience.  We can’t recommend Roland enough and fondly call him our ‘basset whisperer’.

On a scarier note, as part of our training with Roland, he advised us on what to do in case of a dog attack.  While we hoped we'd never have to use his advice, an unlucky day came when a large, aggressive dog attacked our two bassets. Because of Roland's training we were able to fight off the attacking dog with no harm to us and our dogs.  I couldn't thank Roland enough for his advice.

We knew we had to do something about our 5 year old German Shepard Rocco. He would pull and growl intensely at anything or anyone that moved while we were out walking him! It was very embarrassing when people would yell over his misbehavior that we should do something about our dog! Not only this, but he had serious aggression toward small children relating to a bad experience he had when he was just a puppy.

We met with Roland and he taught us how to teach our pooch. We noticed a huge difference after the first session… we continue to follow his advice and Rocco has now become part of our family and not the family with the dog that no one wants to be around. We had a birthday party just a few short weeks after meeting Roland and Rocco enjoyed himself in the backyard with 10 ravaging screaming boys! Our baby girl just recently turned 5 months old, we are confident with Rocco and enjoy our family walks without the stress of having to be embarrassed or told off because of our Rocco’s misbehaviors.

Thank-you Roland from us… however, if dogs could speak Rocco would give you great gratitude for training his owners.

I just wanted to thank you again for the remarkable job/results that you did with 'Matty' our 2 year old female AKITA. I could not put into words the incredible transformation that we have seen, but I will try....

Matty was a perfect girl at home, but, and it is a BIG BUT, when we were out on our walks we found that she was VERY dog aggressive and DID NOT respond well to commands. With one 15 minute walk, you were not only able to identify the problem, but, as well,  give us the necessary tools and exercises to rectify the problems permanently. As any AKITA owner will tell you, you can never expect your AKITA to be completely passive with other canines, but Matty's progress is UNBELIEVABLE. It is now a pleasure to be out with her...We cannot thank you enough.

Worth the money ??? Every penny !!!

FINALLY!!!!  Someone who actually gets into the minds of dogs and gets them to do EXACTLY what you want them to do with very little effort.  Roland, I’m so pleased with what you did for my Rotti, Diesel, and me as well, that I can’t thank you enough! 

 

While trying to walk Diesel, I came home feeling like he had just walked (dragged) me.  He had aggression and lunging issues towards other dogs, people and especially small kids.  Rotti’s have a bad enough reputation and to tell you the truth, I was afraid he was going to hurt someone or another dog.  My friend and I wanted to walk our Rotti’s together and that was impossible.

 

After just 5 sessions, Diesel has turned into the perfect gentle dog.  He now waits until I go out the door before following, and on our walk he stays right beside me.  There is very little trace of the aggressive, snarling, lunging dog he was before you helped us.

 

If anyone is having issues with their dog, I HIGHLY recommend Roland at Canine Correction.  His prices are excellent, he comes to your house and teaches your dog and then teaches you.  My friend and I are now able to walk our male Rotti’s together, side by side and even let them play together in the back yard with no worries they will get into a fight.

 

I’ve been told by several people on our walks how “WELL BEHAVED” my dog is.  That not only makes me proud, but eternally grateful to Roland for giving me a true life-long dog companion.

 

Thank you so much for everything!
