Simpawtico Dog Training Reviews

This is for their online training course only.
I first found Ian through reddit recommendation of his YouTube channel. I loved all his videos and his training philosophy, so when we brought home our , I decided to go ahead and purchase his basic training course. Let me tell you, that was the best money I ve spent for my puppy girl and myself. I watched each session multiple times to the point I memorized them and it made a huge difference in our trainings. Things like prey drive and how to capitalize on that really kind had a lightbulb-moment effect for me. We re still training and there s a lot to learn, but I love Ian s classes and highly recommend them to everyone.
Side note: the basic training class does touch upon loose leash walking but the walking class goes a lot more in depth. I m still finishing up that course but so far it s money well spent!

I have a Black Russian Terrier who has been a challenge to understand. She is leash reactive and I was thoroughly confused after seeking out numerous trainers. I live in Michigan but called Ian after seeing his videos. I provided what to me was a long and confusing history, but he listened intently and really understood my dog and myself. His suggestions made sense and he help me gain the confidence of knowing what the right track is for my dog. It has been over a month and we have made outstanding improvements in relationship, obedience and minimal leash reactivity. Going to travel from Michigan to Ian to further my training. Thanks, best experience with have had.

Best training ever !!! Ian has a great personality and makes it FUN for both my dog and myself. A MUST...you won't regret and the things you are taught is priceless !!!

Ian is such an enthusiastic and engaging teacher. His videos along with his class handouts provide everything you could think of for training your pup.

The enthusiasm and knowledge of the instructor Ian Stone is surpassed only by his expertise in sharing that knowledge with others. He truly makes training and classes fun!

I have learned a great deal, improving my ability to interact with my dogs successfully. Using the reward techniques that Ian teaches has allowed me to make my dogs enjoy their training with me far more than I was able to in the past.

Moose and I were very lucky to find Ian. He is like that favorite teacher you had back in the day, you always look forward to going to class. He is a natural teacher, his knowledge is second to none and after spending just a few minutes with him you see his passion for training and his deep love of dogs come shining through. This is a man that truly found his life's calling.

We just finished Puppy 2 today and in a few months we are back with Ian for the Intermediate class. There is no way we would be so far along with our training without Simpawtico. My plan is to stick with him as Moose and I mature. Thank you Ian, see you in a few months brother.

My dog Aspen, loves to go to training each week. And I love how much fun he has and how tired he is afterwards.

In our opinion, after listening to many puppy and dog videos... Ian is spot on and very easy to listen to!!! Thanks for sharing with your audience!!!

People here are knowledgeable and willing to help! I appreciate their Youtube videos on how to train your dog well.

It's been fun for us and the dogs. You can see the sense of enjoyment and accomplishment on the pups face when we leave. Ian is also very engaging and keeps all activities informative as well as entertaining.

I cannot recommend Ian any higher. His personality is infectious. As great as he his is with dogs, he's even better with their humans. Kind, knowledgeable and reassuring. You can tell immediately that he loves what he does, and that passion radiates from him. He helped tremendously with our rescue dog Axel, and I look forward to having him help with our 9 week old rescue pittie that was just transported up from the disaster in Texas. Thanks Ian!

Brilliant and no nonsense advice which works. I adore the trainet, my babies and I watch his YouTube videos all the time.

Ian is an amazing trainer. He has so many effective strategies for working on difficult behaviors.

While I live too far away for in-person support from Ian his videos and learning materials + his weekly live sessions on facebook have been tremendously helpful. So glad I found Simpawtico!

Over the years through a few moves and a few different dogs, my wife and I have had experiences with a few different dog trainers. We feel really fortunate to have a dog trainer of Ian's caliber nearby. He's incredibly knowledgeable, professional, patient, and passionate about dogs and training. The real deal! Simpawtico has been the best.

Best youtuber on dog training. High quality content and lots of good free tips! His online course is also great! Highly recommended.

If there was 6 stars I would give 6! Highly recommend! We adopted our first dog and as new puppy parents Ian went above and beyond what he needed to! He provides time for puppy socialization, open dialogue to ask questions and visual learning videos to help with training! Our dog was always excited to see him! Ian is very friendly and truly cares about your fur baby as well as your success within your training. If you are serious about having a well trained pup using positive reinforcement, this is the place for you! We plan to keep training with him as our puppy continues to grow.

Ian is an awesome trainer. I've been using him since I adopted my Donte. He was a crazy hyper active boy that was almost impossible to walk. Now Donte walks pretty well. Both my babies love Ian and get very excited when they see him

This guy is going to change our doggie lives. He is a really amazing trainer and a nice guy. He is passionate about what he does and he does it well. Definitely worth it!

I'm about to get a puppy and I had a TON of questions. Ian's YouTube video's are awesome and I wanted to ask specific questions regarding my personal situation. I setup a virtual consultation and he was amazing. Again, I had TONS of questions (I'm going to be a first time puppy owner) and he was really supportive and gave excellent advice. It definitely boosted my confidence as I was feeling like I might fail but we walked through a potty training plan and a schedule to get the puppy to become addicted to his chew toy. I'll definitely be setting recurring virtual meetings. Unfortunately I'm too far to attend in person trainings but the virtual meeting was exactly what I needed. Highly recommended

Ian is awesomeeeeee! We visited all the way from NYC after watching a bunch of his videos and the dog walking series. Our visit did not disappoint. Ian is very knowledgeable and was a pleasure to deal with. We had fun as well as our little pup. Thanks! -Paul and Natalie

Words really can't explain how effective Ian's training really is. His YouTube videos originally saved us from all the crazy German shepherd puppy biting. His other YT videos helped us get started with some basic training. Eventually we purchased his Dog Training Essentials course on IOA which has been super helpful. We've also done a Zoom consultation with Ian. Any corrective action he had us take was IMMEDIATELY effective in engaging our dog and channeling her energy into productive learning/training. This man is a genius and the structure of all the information he presents is so helpful for my wife and me. We're going to keep moving through this course and reach out to Ian when we hit walls. Simpawtico Dog Training is everything we needed in learning how to live with a dog for the first time.
