Scott was absolutely incredible to work with, and we can’t recommend him enough! From the very beginning, he gave us the tools and confidence we needed to build a strong foundation for a lifetime of enjoyment with our dog. He is patient, kind, and genuinely cares…not just about the dogs, but about their owners too. Training can feel overwhelming at times, but Scott has a way of bringing humor and calm into every session, which made the entire experience so much more enjoyable and manageable. One of the things we appreciated most is that we didn’t lose our dog’s personality at all. If anything, Scott helped enhance it. Our dog is still completely himself, just more confident, responsive, and enjoyable to be around. We also appreciated how communicative he was, always keeping us updated, answering questions, and making sure we felt supported every step of the way. Most importantly, it was clear that he always put the dog first, which meant everything to us. We are so grateful for Scott and the impact he’s had on our dog and our family. We’ll absolutely be continuing with his follow-up courses to make sure we stay the best dog parents we can be. We’ve already recommended him to two families who are planning to get puppies in the near future!

I had what I thought was a unique problem. I have a four year old Golden Retriever who had become exceedingly aggressive towards people and other dogs. It had escalated to such a degree I was worried I was out of options. From the first call I had with Scott he was confident we had a way to resolve this. His level of knowledge and care was evident from the very beginning. I enrolled Enzo in the four week board and train program and I am beyond impressed with the progress that was made in such a short time frame. I could not recommend Scott and the program any higher than I do.

Scott was amazing! We had tried other trainers in the past, but none compared to him. We did a board-and-train program, and the results were incredible. Not only did Scott work closely with our dog on her resource guarding, but he also spent time training us, which made all the difference. She’s so much happier, better behaved, and truly part of our family now. Scott is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely cares. We’re so grateful and HIGHLY recommend him.

After showing signs of aggression, leash pulling, and disobedience I contacted Evolution Canine. Scott’s training helped make an amazing change in my dog! He listens to commands, heels when walking, and is an overall more confident dog. I’m so thankful for this program and will put all my future dogs through it!

We sent our dog to Scott’s board and train program and had a great experience. Scott did a fantastic job listening to our main concerns (leash pulling, jumping etc) and tailored the training to our specific needs. He not only did an excellent job training our dog but he also took the time to teach us how to maintain the progress at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better result.

Our dog learned practical commands and received excellent life skills. So did we! He attended when he was 6 months old, he is now 3 1/2 years old and he still listens and understands his verbal and hand commands. Great training and great trainer (Scott)!
