Veterinarian and Client Testimonials

Ken Picciuto's School for Dogs receives rave reviews! ...but don't just take our word for it. Here's a sampling of what people who have experienced our dog obedience training have to say (word for word!).

Veterinarians highly recommend us...

"Until Ken came along, I never felt comfortable recommending a dog trainer to my clients. He has achieved results beyond my expectations because of his aptitude for psychology and his innate ability to communicate with our canine companions. He is a rare individual that has a gift for combining people skills with the talent for canine behavior modification. I recommend Ken Picciuto without hesitation." [Terrence F. Claypoole, V.M.D.]
"The feed-back I have gotten from my clients has been strongly positive. Ken's treatment of both the pet and client has always been professional and compassionate." [Jeffrey A. LaCroix, D.V.M.]
"We regularly refer our clients with training and/or behavioral problems. Invariable the feedback that we get is that he is a thoroughly professional and effective teacher." [L.A. Kahn, D.V.M.]
"Being a former dog obedience instructor, I fully endorse Ken's techniques, which combine both dog psychology and behavior with gentle yet consistent corrections. His success rate appears to be higher than other classes in the area." My clients comment on his professional manner and his gentle handling of the dogs." [Heather M. Rife, D.V.M.]
"Ken has been successful in managing some behavior problems in a few of my patients who, under most circumstances, would have been euthanized." [Jeffrey K. Schpero, D.V.M.]
"Ken is a person with a strong working knowledge of dog behavior and obedience gained through years of training, observation and continuing education." [David L. McGee, D.V.M.]
"Ken is extremely friendly and always reliable. He is strongly recommended to our clients for dog training classes. We also consult with Ken Picciuto as an animal behavior specialist." [The Doctors of Central Hospital]

Our canine and human clients are delighted with their dog obedience training experience...

"For the first time, I fully appreciate the value of having professional help - which you certainly provide in full measure, Ken. Whatever the future brings, I've permanently retired from the rolled-up-newspaper and shout-at-them approach to dog training." [William W. Anthony, Jr.]
"Just wanted to further extend our thanks and appreciation - your classes were not only informative but FUN and comfortable as well. You both made a difficult & "clumpsy" chore for us enjoyable. Ashes has come A LONG WAY as well as her owners." [Melinda and Steven, West Haven]
"We want to thank you for the fine job you've done training our Siberian Husky - Jessie. She is much calmer and listens much better than she did before. You have also helped us with phone calls and follow-up visits. We know if we have a problem, all we have to do is call you and you help us with advice and helpful suggestions and, if needed, a follow-up visit. We would recommend you to anyone interested in training their dog." [Geri & Joe Marrone]
"When I first decided to have my collie "Ashley" trained, I chose Ken because he seemed to be the most knowledgeable about his work, and he did not let me down. It was a learning experience not only for Ashley but for myself. Ashley responded to Ken and the change in her was immediate. Ken also taught me how to groom her and to use the proper grooming tools. Thanks to Ken, Ashley and my family are all much happier. [Susan Artes ]
"Bob and I do want to express our appreciation for all you did for Brindle. You have an amazing rapport with animals - almost magic, it seems to Jenny & to me. There is not a doubt in the world that Brindle now understands perfectly what each command means. The fact that he is still a puppy leads him to try his luck in ignoring orders now and again, but the basic obedience know-how is there and I am sure that with constant reinforcement on our part he will be pretty much of a model dog at the end of a year. It also meant everything to me that you accomplished all this training without resorting to harsh treatment. It is as if the dog wants to please you and gain your approval. [Virginia Cambreling}
"Thanks to you and your staff, Tiger is doing much better! Thanks again." [Sandy Zavaletz and Tiger]
"Heather is a 4-1/2 year old Westie who had been completely spoiled and refused to come when she was called. Thanks to Ken's patience and expertise she is just as much fun but now a well behaved and mostly obedient lady. Ken's follow up visits to train the "people" has really made the difference and will do so for many years to come." [Deni McChesney]
"Thanks to your wonderful obedience links and good advice, Flora Dora is now a virtually perfect, obedient dog." [Mary Lou Skerritt]
"Andy and I really enjoyed your classes for Sabre. She learned so much and we are very impressed with her behavior as of late. Thank you!" [P.J. Inskip]
"We are very pleased with your "Obedience Program." Your method of training has been very successful in teaching my dog obedience. Your follow-up when the lessons are finished was a great help in the continuing training of the dog. Not many trainers take interest in seeing the dog after the training period is over. We appreciate all you've taught us and the dog. We are very proud because of the change in our dog "Chassey." [Gayle Sterite]
"I wish to thank Mr. Ken Picciuto for working with my two year old doberman, Jessie. He taught her manners. Walking is a pleasure and she is a much easier dog to handle. (She obeys me.) I am so pleased, and Jessie must be happy too." [Mrs. Becky Drake]
