I have learned a lot from him and I can see a big difference in my dog’s behavior. He is much easier to take for walks and train. In addition, Robert is always available when I need a question answered.

From his whole "raw foods" diet to the language he uses, you can tell he's passionate about taking care of my buddy. At first I was concerned because my dog always thinks he's an alpha, that he wouldn't really get along with other dogs. Robert assured me and after watching them both during the initial interview, I knew I found the right person to take care of my German Shephard - Husky. Weeks later, after reliable and punctual service Blackjack and I couldn't be happier. He's found a friend and I found someone I can count on! read less

I was a volunteer, so I walked many dogs. They were fed whatever food was donated by the public, a variety of commercial dog foods.On any given day maybe 85% of the dogs had diarrhea. The shelter said it was because everyone fed them treats on these walks but I know that wasn’t it.When I got my girl home, I wanted to give her the best diet I could, so I started with high quality dog foods, reading everything I could about what to look for. This worked fine, although she made mountains of poop, sometimes soft. She also had lethal gas sometimes, not so much a problem for her, but I’d have to leave the room! She did enjoy her meals.I had been researching raw feeding on chat groups and web sites already when I met Robert.Understanding that dogs are truly carnivores I wanted to try raw feeding.We started her out on tripe for about 5 days and watched carefully to see how she took to it. Fine. She ate it as if she’s had it all along. For myself, it’s the nastiest, but for them its health food.My dog eats Performance Dog, which has tripe, beef, and beef trachea and bone, all ground up. I cut the package in half right through the plastic wrap, squeeze on a bit of salmon oil and she’s got a great balanced meal!She eats it in seconds by the way! Some days I add a whole egg, either with the shell, after rinsing it or without the shell. Sometimes I give her half portion of Performance dog and some chicken of pork from the supermarket.After asking Robert 1000 questions about other meats, salmonella, parasites, any question that comes up, I now also give her pork shoulder, (the bone is the right size that it won’t get caught and god forbid choke her. I also cut up a whole chicken, plus I give her kidney in small pieces, only 10% of the meal, gizzards or liver.How is her health since I have fed her this way for the past year? Perfect. Her coat, which is naturally a little coarse is definitely smoother, softer, shinier. Her body is sleek and muscular. Her um, poops which were huge before are quite dainty, so I guess she is “using” the food rather than it just passing through her. All in all, it is working out very well, and she loves her food. I definitely recommend raw feeding for any dog or cat.Rob also walks my dog when I need it and has boarded her for a few days. She loves him and his dog Tiger! read less

I often run into him walking several dogs and they are so well behaved, thanks to Rob. He is the Dog Whisperer of Forest Hills! If I had known about his raw dog food when my dog was alive maybe he would have lived longer. If you love your dog please take his advice and give him/her the right food, it really makes all the difference in the world! read less

Read more...When looking for a dog trainer for my cattle dog pup I wanted to find someone who would not only help iron out some behavioral issues but really help me to understand how to be a better dog handler. Robert went above and beyond my expectations. He takes the time to educate owners and ensure they understand the fundamentals and theory behind his approach. He offers a combination of private sessions and group classes ensuring that your pup gets the one-on-one attention needed to understand and work through issues while also providing a safe supportive group environment to work through real-life scenarios under varying levels of distraction. In addition to obedience training he introduces dogs to scent work and agility opening up the possibilities to build on their skills. With such an active and intelligent breed, this is ideal for our needs.
My dog and I have been working with Robert for 6 months now and have seen a vast improvement in her obedience and overall behavior. It’s made a world of difference in our relationship and improved my confidence as a handler. I now have a foundation that I can use to problem solve training challenges as she learns new skills.
I cannot recommend Robert highly enough. If you’re ready to start and serious about training your pup you will not be disappointed. read lessJoanna Bury9/29/2021Great service.. Very friendly guy.. Great with dogs.. I highly recommend
