Let’s find a path that works not only for your dog, but for you
Ashley with Mama (Pitbull)
“Oly came to the rescue with my 2 year old pit, Mama, helping me navigate her stress reactivity and separation anxiety. As a trainer, Oly truly works from a strengths-based perspective and believes every dog (and human) has the capacity for growth and improvement. Oly’s steadfast optimism and pragmatic focus kept Mama and I afloat despite the challenges of SepAnx and gave us the tools we needed to build a strong and supportive relationship.”
Katie with Blake (Lab/Pit Mix)
“I enjoyed working with Oliver, as did Blake, my anxious and lovable Lab/Pit rescue. Oliver’s common sense methods helped me develop a stronger bond with my dog. Rewarding good behavior with positive reinforcement and treats made my dog start paying more attention to my direction during walks and other activities. I especially enjoyed Oliver’s post session follow-up emails, which acted as a referral source for me - a sort of behavioral guide. Blake and I are both thankful for the time we spent with Oliver.”
Drew with Charley (Great Dane)
“The training sessions and technique were easy to use and very effective. We really needed help to be able to control a large breed that we wouldn’t always be able to physically move if needed and Oly helped a lot with these goals”
Jamie with Cassy, Oliver, and Charley (Lab/Pit)
“Oly really helped us with our pups, he was so patient and was hands on in his training. We learned a ton from him! He would send a follow-up email after each session, recapping what we worked on as well as providing resources for any questions or ideas that came up.”
Joan with Lukas (Keeshond)
“Oly is extremely effective as a trainer. He has impressive credentials. My dog had behavior problems. We worked through them. I still use his advice.”
Deborah with Leo (Labrador)
“Oly was a great guide and teacher not only for our dog, but for my husband and I. He assisted with getting my husband and I on the same page, so our goals were similar. THis made the training fun and twice as easy. He also taught us the power of not paying attention, or ignoring our dog when he was pushing boundaries. We learned great skills which we continue to implement with our dog, and feel very grateful for his help”
Isaac with Mazl (Moyen Poodle)
“Kind, patient, and super helpful to a novice dog owner. Very responsive”
Jimmy with Bully (Boxer/Pit)
“Oliver was very helpful with my dog Bully. He helped me to find triggers that caused anxiety in my puppy. I would recommend Oliver to anyone that is needing help in training their dog.”
Anne with Jesse (German Shephard/Dachshund)
“Oliver is intelligent, creative, and resourceful. The dog’s adore him and believe what he says.”
June with Spock (Miniature Schnauzer)
“Oliver Yaney was referred to me by Dr. Nichol to assist in helping my dog adjust to the Gentle Leader. He also helped me prevent over excitement when on walks with the use of positive reinforcement and the use of the gentle leader, Spock and I are able to take long walks. Just yesterday a neighbor remarked on the improvement with Spock. He is great with both dogs and their owners. Thank you so much.”
