Dan Morris Dog Training & Grooming

We were referred to Dan Morris Dog training by the groomer. She raved of his exceptional dog training skills and his extenisive background working with dogs.
There was hope for my rambunctious puppy after all.
His techniques work! The improvement in my dogs behavior and my own interacting with him is incredible. And, the classes are fun, maybe not so much for my 9 month old puppy — its all work, puppy playland — not.
We are near the end of our first course and we intend to enroll on to the next level.

Uncle Dan has been amazing in training us. Our Keeshond is such a well behaved puppy already and she is only 7 months old! I highly recommend Dan Morris. He is so patient with you and the dogs and very knowledgeable. You learn a lot more than just training.

I attended Dan’s training to gain control over my unruly Labradoodle. He pulled on the leash, had poor front door manners, jumped on people, took our shoes and pillows for the delight of being chased, barked often and the list went on. Dan’s instruction taught me how to handle my dog through hand gestures, body stance and voice commands in a class with other dog owners. The approach was methodical and provided a base for handling future unwanted behavior exhibited by the dog. My dog’s behavior has changed over the course of the training and little by little his poor manners are no longer exhibited! I have a high regard for Dan and his expertise, if you are undecided about taking his class, be assured the money and time are worth it. After being through 2 dog trainers, I was hoping Dan’s instruction would be the last and it has proved to be the end!

I met Dan when my mixed breed dog started having agression issues. Dan was very helpful and probably saved my dog’s life. I learned at least as much as my dog about how to help her control her behavior and recognize when I needed to step in and let her know what to do. She is a much more confident and pleasant dog. We are all happier. We appreciated his skill so much that we brought our new puppy in to get her with the program too.

I’ve never met Mr. Morris, so I can’t review his training sessions. However, I did speak with him over the phone. He came across as pompous and rude. He refused to let my 1 year old 120 lb English Mastiff into his class. My dog is all heart and acts exceptionally well around other dogs, I was inquiring about leash skills. As soon as I said «Mastiff», he shut me down. I understand that his size can be intimidating to other dogs, but this would be good social interaction for them. Dogs come in all shapes and sizes. He rudely dismissed me, and discriminated based on my dogs breed. He referred me to Bob Baker, who was a total swindler and had more than a couple marbles loose. He came to «assess» my dog to see if he needed behavioral or obedience classes. He decided the best option would be behavioral. We walked my dog down the street and back, he gave me some common sense pointers, then asked for a check for $ 145 (not sure, maybe it was more). He never discussed classes, or even told me we were beginning a session! Plus, he said he would follow up in two weeks… NEVER HAPPENED! I would give both of these guys zero stars if I could. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE SERVICE. If you want a compassionate dog trainer who will get the job done, give feedback, and work as a team, go to BRIAN WALSH!!!

We took our Frenchie to Dan for training and it was great. We had a good time while there and definitely learned a lot. Dan is very nice and knows what he’s talking about. He’s very patient with everyone no matter how difficult they or their dogs may be. His training is worth every penny if you are willing to really put the time and work needed into training your dog. As Dan would say though, «It’s not dog training, it’s people training.» Thanks for all your help Dan!

Took my boxer here about 7 years ago for training and loved it. Yes, it was expensive then and I’m sure it’s still expensive now, but you learn the right way to do it.
