Dear Louis:

I am writing to thank you for all the help you gave us with Spirit.

Spirit was out of control.  She was very aggressive toward the other dogs that I own and she would bark incessantly at the neighbors’ dogs.  It was impossible to walk her on a leash because of her size and her strength I was always afraid she would get away from me.  She is a fear biter and she has bitten all of us at one time or another.  The vet even uses a muzzle when we see him.  Guests are always leery of her and I am always on guard when we have company.

After a very bad dog fight with one of my other dogs we were seriously considering putting her to sleep but my son was heartbroken.  So I decided to look into a trainer that could get her under control.

We had her in training classes before and she did OK but they did nothing to address her behavior.  And she would only obey if she were offered a treat.  Then I found you on the internet.  Your course was like nothing I have ever tried.  You showed us what we were doing wrong and why Spirit was acting the way she was.  A few quick corrections the first session and she went from running the house to being submissive.   I could not believe the results.   She knew the rules had changed.

During the second week of training my husband invited some people he works with over to the house and they had small children.  I was considering taking the dog out for the night and then I decided to test her.  I put her on a leash and made her lay next to me the entire night and I explained to my guests that she was in training.  She made no aggressive moves toward them at all.  It was like a different dog.  Before your sessions I would have had to lock her in a room in order to bring strangers in the house.

Since the completion of your course a STERN NO will stop her immediately from barking at neighbors dogs.  My husband can clip her nails without any drama, and we can take her on walks without her pulling us all over.  She is even getting along well with our new puppy.

I have used your techniques on the puppy also.  At 15 weeks she sits, stays, lies down, walks at the heel, and if she has something I don’t want her to have she will drop it on command and she is completely house broken.  It is amazing.

I would recommend you to anyone who needs a trainer.  And definitely to anyone that has a dog with any kind of behavior problem.

Thank you.  You definitely saved Spirits life.

Dear Louis,

I wanted to say a huge thank you for the professional training you provided me, teaching me how to properly train my 5 month old German Shepherd “Ute.”  I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.

For a puppy with a short attention span, the commands and reinforcements you taught worked so well with her that she learned her commands quite quickly, considering her young age.  As well, one of the best commands you taught was “out” – it has come in handy in so many situations. And what a joy to be able to walk her on a loose leash! No yanking, no pulling, and she watches my movements to know if she should slow down or turn or move to the side.

What I felt was most effective in your training style was the “show and tell” format where I could watch each move, gesture and posture, and confidently recreate it myself during the course of the week when I was responsible for practicing each command until the next training visit.   As well, the regimented schedule and “dog log” proved to be very effective in keeping track of Ute’s progress, as well as seeing where she needed more work from me.

The tips you provided on dog behavior - why they do what they do, and how to manage specific situations - were invaluable for me in understanding the nature of my dog and how to get Ute to respond to me, accordingly, as well as increasing my understanding of why she does what she does.  I learned an enormous amount of behavioral information I otherwise would not have known without extensive research.

Lastly, being available at any time outside training for questions and help with my daily training tasks and the frustrations I faced was extremely helpful. I have a well-trained and well-behaved puppy that continues to be a joy to me, no matter where we go. Thank you!

I'm looking forward to starting our Agility Training in January.

Dear Louis, 

I want to thank you for your excellent training. Your 5 week basic obedience classes have save my do g family. I never thought that Zeus & Roxanne could ever become well behaved dogs. They are 3-1/2 years old and honestly we were at fault for their bad behavior. If you don't work with your dogs they take over. From the very 1st lesson we saw an improvement in us & them. Watching you work with the dogs was like watching an episode of the Dog Whisperer! You are amazing!!. by learning the correct way to use the choke collar it did not seem in humane, I learned to enjoy my walks with them. you teach humane & living ways to have a well behaved dog. I highly recommend you to anybody regardless of the age or size of dog. I truly believe you can train any dog to do what ever any body wants. All one has to do is follow your training and work with your dog every day. I thank you very much for giving me 2 well behaved dogs. Every day I see big improvements & I enjoy walking them once again.   Please feel free to give any body my number or e-mail for a reference.

Louis, 

My husband & I just wanted to say "Thank You" for the great job you did with our two girls, Wiyaka & Tahca.  It is now enjoyable to take them for walks now because we are walking them not the other way around.  We are still working with them to not jump on visitors and they are getting better.    Thank you for the training you gave us as well.  We feel that we can now take this information and train any dog that we may have in the future.  We would most definitely recommend you to anyone who has a dog that they need trained. 

May God bless you Carl, Charlotte, Wiyaka & Tahca W.

I BEGAN TRAINING WITH LOUIS ROBINSON 10 WEEKS AGO. I WAS IN A QUANDRY. I WAS AND STILL AM TRAINING MY DOG. I NEEDED HELP. I WAS DOING THE BEST I COULD TRAINING HER. I AM HANDICAPPED AND HAVE A RARE DISEASE. I NEEDED MY DOG TO PERFORM A CERTAIN TASK I NEEDED.

I BOUGHT THE 7WEEK SESSION. THE FIRST DAY LOUIS CAME TO MY HOME, I THOUHT MY DOG WOULD PERFORM ADMIRABLY SINCE I HAD BEEN WORKING WITH HER FOR 7 MONTHS. WELL, I GOT THE SHOCK OF MY LIFE WHEN LOUIS ASKED ME TO TELL MY DOG TO DO A SIMPLE OBEDIENCE COMMAND. I FELT CONFIDENT SHE WOULD; HOWEVER, MY DOG DID NOT AND WOULD NOT OBEY. I WAS SO EMBARASSED! AFTER PUTTING ALL THAT TIME IN WORKING WITH HER, IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING. I COULD HAVE CRAWLED UNDER THE TABLE AND CRY. WELL, LOUIS EXPLAINED TO ME WHY THE METHOD I WAS USING DID NOT WORK IN AND OF ITSELF ALONE.

NOW, LOUIS HAD NEVER WORKED WITH MY DOG; AND TO MY SHOCK AND HORROR HE HAD MY DOG OBEYING HIM IN LESS THAN 2 MINUTES! MY DOG WAS OBEYING A COMPLETE STRANGER! WELL, WE BEGAN TRAINING WITH LOUIS RIGHT THEN AND THERE. MY DOG MOVED ALONG QUICKLY, AS SHE KNEW THE COMMANDS BUT HAD NO CONSEQUENCES FOR DISOBEDIENCE. LOUIS EXPLAINED THE PROCESS CLEARLY TO ME AND "WE"(MY FAMILY AND I) WENT TO WORK. IT WAS SO SATISFYING TO SEE MY DOG MOVING ALONG SO QUICKLY JUST BY FOLLOWING A SIMPLE RULE. BY WEEK 5 OR 6 SHE'D DONE SO WELL THAT LOUIS SUGGESTED MOVING HER INTO ADVANCED TRAINING. I BOUGHT 3 MORE SESSIONS FOR A TOTAL OF 10 WEEKS. NOW, THIS TRAINING WAS TO HELP ME WITH MY HANDICAP/RARE DISEASE. I EXPLAINED TO LOUIS WHAT I NEEDED MY DOG TO DO; AND "BINGO", JUST LIKE THAT, HE HAD THE PLAN!"

WE BEGAN WORKING ON THAT PLAN AND NOW I HAVE A BEAUTIFULLY MANNERED AND TRAINED DOG THAT AIDS ME WITH MY DISEASE. BEFORE LOUIS, I WAS AT A COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSS. I HAD CALLED SO MANY DOG TRAINING SERVICES IN THE VALLEY AND EVERY, AND I DO MEAN EVERYONE OF THEM, SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP ME BECAUSE I HAD TOO MANY THINGS WRONG WITH ME-AND I THINK HAVING A RARE DISEASE DIDN'T HELP ME EITHER. HOWEVER, I WILL SAY, ONE OF THE DOG TRAINING SERVICES THAT TURNED ME DOWN, POINTED ME IN ANOTHER DIRECTION; BUT THAT ALONE WASN'T GETTING ME TO WHERE I NEEDED TO BE.

LOUIS WALKED IN ON THE SCENE AND I HAVE A "SHARP DOG" THAT CAN DO EXACTLY WHAT I NEED HER TO DO. SHE IS A PLEASURE TO HAVE IN PUBLIC AND WE WORK BEAUTIFULLY TOGETHER AS A TEAM. A REAL TEAM! LOUIS, I CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!

I BELIEVE "YOU'RE THE BEST IN THE NATION." AND JUST AS A "HEADS UP", BE PREPARED (ALTHOUGH YOU ALREADY ARE); OTHER MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY ALREADY HAVE PLANS FOR YOU TO TRAIN THEIR DOGS!:) NOT TO MENTION ME, WHEN I NEED ANOTHER ONE.:)
NEED A DOG TRAINER? HE'S "THE MAN!"
THANKS, AGAIN, LOUIS,
