| Hi
Ron, I just wanted to thank you again for everything that you
taught Natalie, Abby, Oscar, Milo, and myself over the summer. I try
not to think back to the days when they were absolutely crazy and I
basically got plowed over when I walked in the door. Our son was born
on September 15th and the dogs have done so well with him thanks to
you. We have also been able to find a national wildlife refuge that I
can take the dogs off leash and everyone is amazed that the dogs come
back to me consistently when called. I've even taught my husband all
that I have learned so that he is able to take them as well. Thanks
again for all that you have taught us and let us accomplish!
Sincerely, Susan Wolf
To say we were desperate is an understatement.
We had just brought home
Snickers, a rescue dog, and that very first
night he attacked our other
dog. Our son tried to pull the two dogs
apart and got bit!!! Over the next
few weeks, we had to keep the two
dogs separated at all times, and it began
to feel like we were
prisoners in our own home. Snickers was proving much
more that we
were capable of handling on our own. I began to look for some
help.
After one false start with a different trainer, I found Ron's number
in the yellow pages and called. During that brief phone conversation,
Ron offered sensible advice — and reassurance.
A few days later, Ron
came to our house and showed us how well
behaved his own dog – Charlie –
is. It was great to watch but I must
admit I was skeptical. We had had so
much trouble with Snickers —
aggression toward our other dog, tearing
things up, and so on — I had
a hard time believing that we could ever get
Snickers under control.
I definitely did NOT believe that we could have him
walk with us "off
leash in six weeks or less" as Ron's web site
proclaimed.
But we offer this testimony: we indeed are walking with
Snickers OFF
LEASH in just four sessions!! (Rapid Results is certainly a
fitting
name for his dog training techniques!) Through our training
sessions,
Ron has offered a wealth of knowledge about dog behavior/s with
a
highly professional style, laid back but firm — always with the best
interests of the dog at its core. I highly recommend Ron to anyone
who
is in need of a trainer.
So here's a heartfelt thanks for working with us
and Snickers. We can
now have our two dogs together . . . AND, best of
all, we have our
life back!

Ron did everything he said he would do plus more, such as training me
too. My dog Anne, responded immediately to Ron, he used no harsh
voice, showed no frustration and patience with me.
My whole neighborhood is super impressed with Anne’s new behavior
on our walks. I take her everywhere now and this is what I get to
hear all the time “wow what a well behaved dog”, “how did you do that”,
oh what a sweet dog”. If you long to hear those words and truly
want to enjoy your dog, don’t procrastinate, don’t think about it, go
to your phone or computer now and contact Ron. Ron and his
dog Charlie are something special.
When I find a wonderful service at a great price I like to share, so feel free to contact me.

Hi Ron,
I was just at the vet and saw your ad in a cleveland magazine
and it reminded me
that I've been meaning to email you. Thanks for your call
sometime back. I know
we were going to do 1 or possibly 2 more session, but
we just seemed to get
busy and time slipped away from us. I did want to let
you know that Champ is
still doing great (I think you'd be proud). In fact,
we just got back from a 45 min.
walk and she didn't have her leash on at
all! We are so happy with how things have
turned out and just wanted to
thank you!
Hope you are well,
Have a good day

To anyone considering Rapid Results Dog Training:
I have a Springer
Spaniel named Oliver that is four years old. I got him when he was four months
old. He was housebroken in two weeks, never surfed a countertop, and has always
been a loveable,loyal companion. Oliver's problem was that he was extremely
timid. When I had company over Oliver would hide under the dining room table and
shake. No coxing could get him out. Walking him was a nightmare. He would see a
leaf blowing down the street and bolt for home. Most fearful dogs become
aggressive as their defense...Not Oliver. He was just afraid of his own shadow.
My Vet told me that I had to accept that he was shy just as if he were a timid
child. A breeder told me that Oliver's shyness was genetic. Many opinions...No
solutions. I then came across Rapid Results web site. I read all the
testimonials and great success stories.....No stories about a shy dog turned
social. I thought about it for some time and then called Ron for an evaluation.
He explained to me what I could expect from him, but I still could not grasp the
concept that having a dog Sit..Heal...Come..could help a timid dog like Oliver
become less fearful. I put myself in the slow learner category....I just lacked
confidence in what I was doing. Ron was patient and Oliver thrived. He now comes
home from the park covered in mud..thistles hanging from his long ears! Just
like a Springer should look! Sure is better than hiding under the dining room
table. He walks totally off the lease and now chases leaves down the street. The
more confident he gets the less fearful he is. I continue to expose him to new
surroundings, and people are seeing what a wonderful dog Oliver really is! I
will forever be grateful to Ron and Charlie for their incredible work. It was
worth every cent!!! Sue Bates and Oliver
Ron,
Daisy continues to do great. She does everything you promised she would do
with the training. I only wish I had back the money and time I spent on dog
classes. My neighbors have noticed how well-behaved Daisy is and how quickly she
progressed once we started working with you. We enjoy our off-leash walks in the
local parks and early morning walks in the neighborhood. She will soon begin her
work as a therapy dog.
Thanks again,
Al Slawson
Hi, Ron!
On behalf of Poe's "grandma" thank you for all your help with
Poe's training. Rachel and I are both very satisfied with all of your help with
his training and very pleased with his accomplishments! If anyone would have
told me a few months ago that he would be splashing in a creek and off his lead,
I would never have believed it. He has come a long way. We very much enjoyed
the time spent with you and Charlie and I think you may have even converted a
'control freak' like me! Believe it or not, I even
learned a lot by listening to your helpful suggestions and
watching you work with Poe. Many thanks and best of luck to you and Charlie
and Sadie! Your work and results speak for themselves, but if you ever need a
reference, please feel free to use my name.
Sincerely,
Kathy

I adopted Sadie from a rescue shelter as a pup. With the
best of intentions, Sadie was loved,loved and loved some more by
my daughter and myself. Unfortunately loving her and not teaching
her who was the "pack leader" only left me unhappy with her
behavior and chasing her outside if she "snuck out" when the door was
opened. Ron and Charlie were a GOD SEND! Sadie went from
unruly to ruled without losing any of her loving charm or lovable
personality! She is an off-leash dog who loves to be
obedient! She knows what is expected of her and is happy that
way. Needless to say, so am I!
I moved from a house and neighborhood where Ron and Charlie came
to train her and into a condo complex that has several dogs that see
each other often. Sadie is the BEST dog in the complex and is
always off-leash! (If I do say so myself) People are constantly
complimenting me on how well-behaved she is, how obedient
etc. She is at my side wherever I go. I am SO
grateful to Ron (and of course Charlie) for their help!
I recommend you to everyone I know who compliments Sadie!
Thanks again!

Hi Ron,
We want to express our gratitude for all of your help and time
spent with us and Archie. He is like a different dog!!...I mean
that in a good way! =) I never imagined that he would listen as
well as he does, and that we'd enjoy walking him and taking him to the
park as much as we do now. The training has made our
relationship with Archie so much more enjoyable...not only for Matt and
I, but for Archie too! He's always been a happy and
playful dog, but the thing he enjoys most, is now being able to
walk/run without a leash. And it's so great to watch him and allow him
to do that, without worrying that he'll run away or won't come
when he's called. We are also able to look forward to having people
over to our home now (which we never though would happen!), knowing
that Archie will behave and listen to us.
Thank you for helping us, and Archie, make the most of our relationship. We appreciate all that you've done!
Take care,
Matt and Erica
Ron –
I just wanted to thank you for all of your help with Jenny. She was a year
and a half when we rescued her, but acted like a new puppy. She would
constantly steal things and run all over the house. I’ve realized that
she’ll always have that energy but she listens so much better now. I can’t
thank you enough for training her. It has made our lives so much easier! She
still sits facing the opposite direction when we’re on walks (I’m sure you
remember that!) but I’m working on it. I’ve given your number to a lot of
people and I will continue to do so. Charlie is a perfect example of what
you can do. Good luck in the future and I’m sure you will be hearing from
some of our friends.
Thanks,
Katie Green
Ron,
Thank you so much for helping us with our dog Fletcher. A
couple times I was going to give Fletcher back to the Animal Shelter
where we got him. Fletcher is a beautiful sheperd/lab
mix whom we fell in love with, but that love was fading
fast. Our neighbors have cats and dogs and Fletcher would
not stay in the yard. He would be off visiting the neighbors pets
and would not come when we called him. Our family life became
stressful, always chasing the dog and trying to get him to listen to
us. This is not how I envisioned having a dog.
I wanted a dog that stayed in the yard and played with my kids.
After, calling you and seeing you with Charlie, I knew you could
help us. Fletcher is now the best dog. He is able to walk
off leash around our block with many distractions going
on. Our neighbors have noticed a big difference in
Fletcher. They will be in their yards with their pets and he stays
in our yard. He comes on command, sits, heals, stays and listens.
My husband and I were sitting on the patio the other night when I
realized the kids had been playing in the yard sometime with
Fletcher. Instead of having to chase after him we just sat
back, relaxed and enjoyed our summer evening. Thanks for helping
us and Fletcher.
Your the best.

An Open Letter To Anyone Considering Rapid Response Dog Training:
I
adopted an Australian Cattle Dog mix in January 2004. I had never owned
a dog from the puppy stage before and hoped that training a dog from
the start would give me a better, more predictable companion. I chose
my pup (after love at first sight left and common sense returned) based
on the fact that the two other dogs of this breed I had come in contact
with were smart, loyal and appeared to be good with their owners.
However, despite all of my efforts, our lives were turned upside down
by an animal that was consistently outsmarting us. Gabi would bite our
hands and nip at our feet when she wanted attention. She would eat any
kind of paper or fabric she could get her teeth into. We tried
everything imaginable-cans with pennies, spray bottles, dog obedience
training, reading books, growling back…you get the idea. I was
concerned not so much for us, because I believed the biting was playful
rather than malicious, but for others who might come into our home,
especially children.
In
a chance meeting with someone, I mentioned the difficulties I was
having with Gabi. This person told me that she had hired Ron and that
he and Charlie had worked wonders for her dog, Lola. In desperation, I
looked up the website she had referred me to and the rest is history.
Ron
came out and did an assessment of my dog, followed by a demonstration
with Charlie. It was obvious by the way Charlie looked at Ron that the
retriever truly loved and wanted to please his owner. Ron assured me
that my dog could indeed be worked with and was a ‘good’ dog. After our
first real session with the e-collar I was able to immediately
control or eliminate approximately 90% of Gabi’s negative behaviors.
This was such a motivator that practicing with Gabi for 15-20 minutes a
day was a joy. Each day she got better and better. Within two weeks
(remember Gabi is very smart!) she was consistently coming when
called, heeling off leash, sitting, laying down, obeying the "no"
command and able to play freely with us in the yard. Being able to play
Frisbee or ball with her in my unfenced, large corner lot became one of
the best benefits of the program. Her biting was drastically reduced
and at this time, 4-6 weeks later, while she still needs reinforcement
in this area, is under control. (Biting is a strong urge in this breed
according to sources.) She is a now a calmer, even more lovable and
totally loyal dog.
I
cannot thank Ron enough for giving me the kind of pet I was hoping for
and returning normalcy to our home. While the financial investment in
the program was a concern to me at first, I now realize that I could
have spent far more that this in sequential dog obedience courses,
which would not have given me the same result. I now look at the
sessions as a bargain. I was also concerned about the use of an
e-collar, but friends, who are dog lovers, reassured me that using the
e-collar was preferable to having to give up a dog I loved because I
couldn’t control her.
I
was afforded a rare opportunity to receive private instruction at my
home. Ron is professional, patient, has expertise in this area and
possesses a gift for being able to work with the individual to improve
his/her skill. He is truly an educator not only of dogs, but also of
humans.

TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN:
I
AM A PIZZA DELIVERY PERSON, AND WHILE ON A DELIVERY I SPOTTED RON AND
CHARLIE. I WAS AMAZED TO SEE HOW WELL BEHAVED HE WAS FOR HIM SO I
STOPPED AND QUESTIONED RON. SHORTLY AFTER HE CAME OVER MY HOUSE FOR A
"FREE" DEMONSTRATION AND EVALUATION, (WHICH MOST OTHER TRAINERS CHARGE
A MINMUM OF $50.00 FOR).
I HAVE A 8 MONTH DOBERMAN. I TOOK HER
TO AN OBEDIANCE CLASS 8 - WEEK SESSION. IT WAS GOOD FOR SOCIALIZATION
BUT IN MY CASE NOT VERY MUCH OBEDIANCE WAS LEARNED. MY PUP CAME FROM A
HOME WHERE SHE WAS CAGED 15-20 HOURS A DAY AND HAD ABSOLUTELY NO
MANNERS. SHE GOT AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER ONE DAY AND HEADED FOR THE BUSY
STREET, SHE PAID NO ATTENTION TO US CALLING THE WORD "COME". IT WAS
QUITE FRIGHTENING.
IV'E BEEN TRAINING NOW WITH RON 4 WEEKS AND
MY DOG IS DOING FABULOUS, SHE IS OFF LEASH IN MY BACKYARD (WHICH WAS MY
GOAL). WE HAVE NOW EXCEEDED THAT BY ADDING DISTRACTIONS AND TAKING HER
TO NEW PLACES.
I WAS TOLD BY SO MANY PEOPLE HOW INHUMANE THESE
TYPES OF COLLARS AND I MUST DISSAGREE STRONGLY. YOU USE THE LOWEST
STIMULATION TO KEEP YOUR DOG UNDER CONTROL. IV'E FELT THE STIMS MYSELF
IT'S A VERY EFFECTICVE WAY TO TRAIN.
HE PICKED A GREAT NAME FOR HIS COMPANY"RAPID RESULTS" BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT YOU GET!
IN
CONCLUSION I'M HAPPY WITH RON, HE KEEPS HIS WORD, APPOINTMENTS AND IF
YOU ARE WILLING TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND WORK WITH YOUR DOG YOU DO GET
QUICK RESULTS.

I
just wanted to say Thanks to Ron and the training he provides.I adopted
a Collie mix only to find out he was very aggressive and did not obey
anything I said. Well after only 5 lessons he sits,
comes, heels and stays on command. People can come into my
home again ( before he would have to be put in a room with
the door closed) because he is just a NEW dog. I had
tried EVERYTHING and this dog was so mean the next option was to
have him put down. Then I found Ron and through his program Wizard is
becoming the wonderful loving obedient dog he should be. I am
so impressed with the results, I am going to start my other dog on the
program as well.
Thanks Ron.
Beth and Wizard.

To whom, it may concern,
Theresa
and I are the owners’ of Sadie, an 8 month old French Mastiff (Like in
the movie “Turner & Hooch”). Sadie has always been a laid
back type of dog and with that personality she tended do things when
she was ready to do them and not necessarily when we wanted them
done. She knew what all the commands were; “sit, down, come”, but
only would obey them if she was in the mood to do so.
Ron
came to our home and ran through his program, which included a
demonstration with “Charlie”, we knew then that we had to give the
program a try. While we initially had reservations about the
e-collar, we saw through demonstration that it is a safe and effective
means for correcting unwanted behavior.
Sadie is now the official neighborhood mascot. She is out, without a leash,
everyday visiting all the neighbors she can get to. She comes, sits,
lies down, heals, and stays, all on command. We can’t say enough
about Ron, his training, and his knowledge concerning dogs. He seems to
understand the dogs personality, what causes them to behave the way
they do, and what makes them tick.
Theresa and I would highly recommend the training and welcome any calls to answer questions or concerns.

I have two problem
dogs. One is a lab-weimaraner mix that came from Lab-Rescue, and had
been abused and neglected as a puppy. Moose was unpredictable and had a
fear-based aggression problem. The other is a lab-greyhound mix that
was over-protective and aggressive. It was, also, virtually impossible
to walk Peach, because she pulled so hard on the leash that she dragged
me down the street.
I was about to
give up on both dogs, when I ran across Ron’s ad at a local pet supply
store. I decided I didn’t have anything to lose, so I asked him for a
free evaluation. He brought his dog along, and demonstrated how Charlie
obeys commands flawlessly. He is obviously a well-adjusted, happy dog,
and is eager to please his owner. Ron explained that the stimulation
collar is a humane and effective method for getting quick results.
When Moose wears
the collar, he is a much more tranquil dog. It has, actually, allowed
his playful personality to emerge. I still have work to do with Peach,
but she has come a long way and obeys my commands fairly well. It is so
nice to take both dogs to the park and to be able to walk along with
them at heel. The training has made it a pleasure to be out with them.
Although I think
the price of the collar and lessons is reasonable, if it causes
hesitation on your part, think about how little it is in terms of
having a well-behaved, enjoyable pet.

Ron,
Thanks
for stopping by and helping me with the distractions of other animals
Pikachu had on Monday. After you left last night we went for a
walk stopped by the fence with the Shepherd's and of course they came
barreling/running towards us, Pikachu was great I told her no and kept
walking and she stayed by my side; it was awesome. Like I said
last night I think I am more afraid the dogs than she is she just
wanted to go play. Again, I had someone stop me on the street and
asked about how I got Pikachu to walk with me the way she was and of
course I told them to check out your website and e-mail or give you a
call. I also had a neighbor who I don't know had been
watching/looking for me and Pikachu for the past week. She
couldn't believe how well behaved sh! e was and she had seen me
over the years walking Pikachu and the struggles I had.
"Thanks
for everything. It was the best investment I have made for her. I
definitely am spreading the word."
Thank You.
