This Shiba Inu was a pleasure to work with. Just went to visit her owners a few days ago - fantastic effort they have put in and she is a happy playful super stable dog! Here is their fantastic review:
As a soon-to-be veterinarian, I cannot recommend William’s training enough—it’s been an absolute game changer for me and my dog. My dog developed severe resource-guarding behavior around food, which eventually spiraled into unpredictable aggression towards other dogs, especially when food was involved. Walks became stressful, and I was constantly on edge, afraid of what might trigger her next outburst. It got to the point where I couldn’t even take her to places we once loved—restaurants, supermarkets, anywhere dogs were allowed—because her behavior became too erratic.
Things reached a breaking point when she started guarding our bed and I no longer recognized the dog I once knew. At home, she was sweet and affectionate, but around food or other dogs, she became a different dog entirely. I felt helpless, unsure if we could ever return to the life we once enjoyed.
That’s when I reached out to William, and I’m so thankful I did. From the moment we talked, he assured me he could help, and he truly delivered on that promise. His expertise, combined with the fact that he has well-trained dogs of his own, gave me confidence that he could tackle both the food aggression and issues with other dogs.
After a month of training with William, my dog came back transformed. The aggressive behaviors disappeared completely. She’s more obedient than ever, and William even went above and beyond, working on her recall and other commands. Most importantly, he equipped me with the tools to maintain her new behavior long-term.
I had almost resigned myself to thinking this problem would never go away, but William has given us a second chance. Our walks, visits, and outings are enjoyable again, and I can’t express how grateful I am. William didn’t just train my dog—he changed both of our lives. Thank you, Will, for everything!
