Mr O's The Dog Training Place 2622 Leechburg Road, Lower Burrell, PA 15068

"Mr. O trained our puppy that we found on the side of the road recently. He was a good puppy but was just so hyper and wouldn't listen. He used to always chew on things he shouldn't, constantly needed to be on a leash or would run away and chase wild animals, aggressive towards other dogs, and would always jump on people to greet them. Now our puppy knows the word "No" so if he is chewing on something he shouldn't I say "No" once and he knows not to chew on it anymore. He is an off leash dog at home and at friends houses. He runs around outside, knows his boundary and comes to me when I yell "come". He is much less aggressive towards dogs, still isn't perfect but much much better, he is even able to make friends with dogs we meet on a walk. And he jumps on people much less and knows when we say "down" to stop jumping. An added bonus is when I put food in front of him he won't eat it until I say "okay". I am fortunate to be able to bring him to work often and coworkers and customers always comment on how well behaved he is.I am always telling people if they have a dog that needs trained to see Mr. O. He might not be for the idealist or the perfectionist who live in a world where they think dogs should be treated like humans. But if you're a realist that needs a dog to behave with healthy boundaries, Mr. O is your guy."

"Mr. O’s Dog Training. Luca We have an ultra friendly 2 ½ year old male Golden Doodle. His one really bad habit was his tendency to jump up on humans and other dogs. We were unable to break him of this habit. We were impressed by the claims of Mr. O and decided to try the all-day training Mr. O offered. We scheduled a training date in February which was snowed-out and a follow-up date in March which was also cancelled because of weather. Notably, there was no problem in rescheduling a make-up date in June. Luca got along well with Mr. O. At the end of the training, he was completely healed of his jumping up problem. Luca has also improved markedly in his ability to walk on loose leash, and follow his “wait” and “stay” commands. Mr. O offers a no- nonsense training approach which produces results."

"We also happened to pay Mr O around the time that he was hospitalized and did have to wait 6 months past our original training date. It was frustrating not to hear from him, or call disconnected numbers, but in the end, Mr O did get in touch with us and train our Neapolitan Mastiff. It was completely worth the wait. It's actually unbelievable, the transformation is night and day. Opi was dominant, manipulative and we were unable to take her to doggy daycare because of her possessive behavior towards other dogs. She also dragged us on the leash, begged for food and peed in the house. When we picked her up, she was walking perfectly on the leash, listening to commands for sitting, she now responds to our corrections in the house and outside. Opi was also very affectionate toward Mr O the evening we picked her up. It was obvious they had a nice bond. Its not magic, we can see that if we aren't following through with what Mr. O taught us at the end of the training day, she would return to her negative behaviors, so ultimately it is up to us to maintain the rehabilitation that Mr. O did. We had put Opi through several different private and group training programs and were endlessly frustrated because we did not have the skill or understanding to get her to a place where she was trained enough to listen. These trainings were also all positive, treat-based reinforcement trainings, which might work for some breeds. But for dogs who are having bigger issues or are more dominant breeds, this kind of training is pretty ineffective. Having Mr O get her to a place where she is trained and calm makes it so much easier for us to maintain the changes. We've already referred all of our friends and Opi will now be one of his celebrity dogs."

"My Ivy was trained by Mr. O 4 years ago after we adopted her at 11 months old. She had no training at all. We chose to do one day training and have never regretted it. She has been going to his shows as a celebrity dog ever since the begining. His love for her is honest and he's truly one of few people I trust my dog to be with when I am not around. Her behavior is that of a happy dog. She needs minimum correction and has become her own self."

"Mr O did a wonderful job with my dogs over the years. My one dog was a special dog with him, she went to shows, exhibits and even broke the world record for walking dogs on leash. Gia absolutely lived Mr O. Everytime she heard the name she was so excited to go with him. Yes he is alittle pricey but well worth it. One day training can be done."
