Will You Be Our Next INVISIBLE LEASH® Success Story?
The Pinkerton family, in Little Compton, RI needed dog training for their Rhodesian Ridgeback, Sophie. Sophie did not listen to anyone in the house. Here is how they described the training:
“Eric always has the answer. Whatever the problem is, he can solve it (sounds like a Vanilla Ice song from the ‘90s). And the answer usually isn’t very complicated… sometimes it seems obvious after he says it, but it is invaluable to have him point out the things that we don’t even realize we do when we interact with our dog. He gave us simple solutions that were easy to implement and for many things, it solved problem behaviors almost instantly. Hands down the best money you’ll ever spend on anything in your life. Eric is the best! He will help you get the dog you dreamed of when you brought home that puppy in the first place! It’ll make everyone in your house happier, including the dog! Now that Sophie knows what we expect from her, she is much happier, our daily lives are much calmer and the relationship that my kids have with her is so much more rewarding.”Lindsey Pinkerton – Little Compton, RI

EXCELLENTBased on 194 reviewsMariah Azoti2023-10-16From not jumping on people or counter surfing to walking without tugging on the leash and more—we are so happy about the behavioral improvements we've seen in our 1.5 year old golden doodle thanks to the training and tools we learned at Eric's school. His instructions are clear and easy to follow for both dogs and their humans. We can not recommend him enough!Emily Nugent2023-10-08Eric literally trained my very stubborn Berne doodle to jump in the car in 5 minutes! Incredibly helpful. 🙏Jon Bednarz2023-10-03You will never meet a more professional, and productive staff. Eric and his team are fantastic, from the basics to advanced we have done it all with Eric, been working with him for over 5 years with our first dog and our now new puppy. He is an excellent, knowledgeable, professional trainer. Looking forward to getting our puppy off leash trained as well.Paul Ferland2023-09-26I highly recommend Eric's training if you want a dog that is a team player and part of your family. His methods work for both you and your dog - you have to put the work in but the rewards are worth it!Peggy Spencer2023-09-25I brought my Great Dane to Eric Letendre when she was 2 years old, because she was not cooperating either on-leash or off-leash. Within a short time of attending classes each week, my beautiful dog started paying attention and obeying commands. With further training by Eric and his staff, she is well-behaved and I get so much pleasure out of bringing her places without any stress of worrying about her behavior. She obeys all commands whether on or off-leash and this is the result of Eric's training. My dog is happy and calm in all situations. In each class, Eric takes time to listen to all of the dog owners who have questions or concerns about their dog's behavior, and he starts each class asking us how our dogs are doing and what we'd like to work on. The group classes are a pleasure to attend each week. Both my dog and I look forward to being there. Thank you so much to Eric and his staff.Madison Barboza2023-09-16I got a cattledog specifically to take her on long hikes and walks, but the first year I had her, her barking at other dogs got to a point where walking was just unenjoyable and stressful. Eric cured my dog's barking issues within 5 minutes, the other training lessons were an added bonus. So worth the money, thank you to Eric's team!! Here's Lana celebrating graduation with her giant antler, she's the best behaved girl ever now and gets all the walks in the world with no stress 🥰🐾Nara Poit2023-08-22Estoy muy contenta con las clases mi perro siempre ha sido muy inteligente y muy bueno. Tenía problemas de jalar mucho la correa y Erick ayudó con eso, con algunos consejos. Mi perro es un perro de servicio pero me ayudaba antes con jalar mucho cuando mis piernas eran débiles yo eso lo necesitaba antes mucho por qué sufría de convulsión creo que él de alguna en mis entrenamientos lo impuse a eso que al tiempo trajo otros problemas como brincar a personas dentro de casa ya que el si estoy estresada se supone que valla a mi y también el sabe obtener con cosas pero el tambien quiere ir a otros demaciado amigable algo que no podía solucionar y tuve una clase privada que arreglaron el problema en solo 45mnt una pequeña estrategia. Que luego implemente y solucione en casa en solo 2 semanas. El comía aveces cosas del suelo y también pude solucionar. También el comer muy deprisa y no ir a su lugar cuando debe en ocaciones por qué él tiene 2 lugares asignados en casa y tuve que enseñarle ya que en casa hablamos dos idiomas fue algo muy sencillo solo que el comando no estaba bien dicho. Recomiendo mucho a Erick. Mi perro cambio mucho hasta en los paseos y su cambio se notó en la primera clase. Solo enfócate y voy a ti. Suerte 🍀Tim M2023-08-16My bernedoodle was in a constant state of over excitement, and refused to listen. Luckily, Eric was eager to help us and was able to get him under control in what seemed like minutes. It’s only been one week and he is already like a new dog. On top of the weekly in person training, his online training is exceptional as well. He shares his wealth of knowledge with you which you can learn/teach at your own pace.Kerry Besancon2023-07-21Eric and his team of trainers made a huge difference in our dog's behavior after just one training session. We were amazed at how quickly we saw changes in her behavior. Eric has given us the tools to help Bree learn how to behave, and be safe and not drive us crazy with her barking!! I would recommend him to any dog owner. Thank you, Eric!
