Ilan has been working with both of my pups (2 years old now) for a little over a year. I have a Vizsla (Claude) and a Catahoula (Maggie). Both absolutely adore Ilan. They cannot get out of the car fast enough to greet him!
Ilan works with Claude regularly and I have seen a complete difference in him since we began training with Ilan. Claude’s confidence level has increased, his focus and his recalls are amazing. Walking with him is a pleasure. He even plays better with Maggie and all other pups. I can tell he is coming into his own and is a really happy dog! Maggie gets the benefits of learning from him, as well so I know that I am going to have 2 very happy and adjusted canine citizens! Thank you for all you do and have done, Ilan! I would not want anyone else working with them! You have made me a very proud Mommy!

My dog continues to make great strides under the guidance of Ilan. A rescue dog, he was very reactionary around people when we we walking and even when he would see someone while we were driving. I was nervous about taking him out in public away from my neighborhood. Though he remains a work in progress, I now feel very confident in taking him for a walk through the park. It is through a comprehensive and individualized lesson plan Ilan put together which has allowed my dog to develop to this stage. Much of Ilan's instructions revolved around educating the owner. As a relatively new dog parent, I didn't know what to do in some of the situations my dog put me in. But now I feel I have the tools to work through my dog's issues when he acts up.

cannot speak highly enough of Ilan and the exceptional care he provided for our young dog during his stay at our home. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he possesses a deep understanding and genuine love for dogs. His caring and compassionate nature immediately put us at ease, knowing our furry friend was in good hands.
Ilan is not just a dog sitter; he is a true dog whisperer. He has an incredible gift for connecting with animals, and our pup absolutely adored him. Throughout his stay, Ilan demonstrated remarkable responsibility and trustworthiness, keeping us updated with regular check-ins and sharing delightful stories about their adventures together. It was evident that our dog was thriving under his care.
Moreover, Ilan’s training approach is gentle yet effective. He not only ensured our dog was well-cared for but also took the time to reinforce good behaviors and provide valuable guidance. We noticed an improvement in our dog's behavior even after just a short time with Ilan.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ilan without hesitation. Anyone would be fortunate to have him work with their dogs. His dedication, expertise, and kind-hearted nature make him stand out in the dog sitting and training community. If you’re looking for someone to trust with your beloved pet, look no further than Ilan!
