Critical Thinking Dog Services

We are lucky to have Eddie as our dog trainer. My dog ​​Zhaocai is 2 years old and she is not a well socialized dog because she was not properly trained when she was young. However, she is a very good dog overall, but everything changed after the spaying surgery. She felt insecure and became aggressive to strangers and even me and my family. So we found Eddie and signed up for an 8-week training program. Zhaocai was very scared and afraid when she first arrived there, she was reluctant to go out of the crate and didn’t want to have any contact with people. But Eddie is very responsible and he spent a lot of energy and time with Zhaocai to rebuild her confidence and trust in people. Every time we reach out to Eddie, he is always there. We met Zhaocai last week and she is doing great, she didn’t let us touch her feet and tail before, but last week she allowed us to do so. I can really see that she is getting better. Zhaocai still has one month of training left and I believe she will become a completely different dog when she comes back home. If you are looking for a dog trainer, my family and I highly recommend Eddie. Sincerely thank you Eddie.

Worked with Eddie with my puppy in his 4-6 weeks board and train. He worked with him to get him use to kennel training, sit , down , and leash training. My dog is a bit of a nut case so Eddie made sure to have a follow up with me and make sure he’s doing alright still. Since then my pup has still been working and knows all those commands and glad , I can still reach out to them with any questions I have ! I recommend the team for puppy or adult dogs as I seen some of his pack on training days! Thanks Eddie !

Eddie Pena is the best thing to happen to me and my puppy in this last year. My dog had so much anxiety and fear when he was around people and dogs and everything!! I enrolled my pup in his 8 week program and WOW he came back a different dog! He was less anxious, he was able to control his impulses, truly changed our lives. I now can have peace of mind and my dog improves everyday! He also came back crate trained which was such a bonus, with the help of Eddie he was finally able to relax in the crate! Highly recommend for anybody who has a puppy showing behaviors that you don’t know how to control.

Eddie did a phenomenal job with our dog Vader. He really wants what is best/manageable for the owner and the dog. My dog would not be able to go outside without reacting to everything in sight. He would bark at people, dogs, everything! After training with Eddie, he is able to lay down calmly and observe as opposed to react when we are walking him. Eddie laid a foundation for our dog that would be helpful for our busy schedules and provided tools necessary to maintain his regimen. Eddie truly wants what is best for us and our dog and I couldn’t be more grateful for his work and effort to allow us to succeed. He also does follow ups to make sure our dog is continuing to succeed. For anyone who is looking for a dog trainer for any needs your dog may have, Eddie is the trainer for you.

First of all thank you @critical.thinking.dog.services.Our 11month old cane corso Roxy is doing great we are super happy with her performance and obedience. Roxy was abandoned and given to me at 11months. we didnt really know how to go about the situation because i have family and small kids. And being a huge strong dog very active and would just run like a wild horse and wouldn't listen at all she would chew on things. And she would jump on people, she'll drag you instead of walking. I was iffy leaving my dog at first i really missed her by the way .but Eddie came and picked her up he sent updates to me pics,videos whatever they were working on during the session. He explains everything and makes things more understandable and how to correct the problem. He also comes to you if you need a one on one session which was worth every bit . We still talk he's full of knowledge we cool person. When I got Roxy back she knew commands and seemed more happy herself she was discipline also more fit I felt more comfortable indoor and outdoor with her roxy can now be walked and shes a really good listener now. We are still practicing she's doing amazing around family my kids ,parents that are elderly and our other family dog we are super happy. Thank you Eddie

Eddie has been SUCH a great help! So glad I didn’t go to anyone else when I was looking for dog trainers. He and his team had been working with my 7month old GR since he was around 12ish weeks old and I couldn’t be more happy. Eddie has laid a great foundation for him and has (and still) help/s me out with my dog since I’m not really a confident owner and if I need to have him boarded or trained some more. He’s super understanding and if there’s anything I need/needed help with, Eddie is very accommodating as long as you communicate with him! Will definitely continue to work with Eddie and his team in the future no doubt! Need a trainer? Reach out. You won’t regret it.

Eddie was fantastic with our dog, Vada "Belgian Malinois." She was sent for the 4-5 week board and train program. He kept us updated the whole time while in his care with video and picture updates. She is home now, and we just passed our 2 week check-up. He has created a positive learning experience for Vada and us! I highly recommended his services. Vada is on her way to being an excellent family member.

We sent our dog, Bear, to foundational training with Eddie, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we could have made for both our dog and our family! I wish we would have done so sooner! Eddie worked closely with Bear to strengthen his obedience and establish a strong foundation for further training. Since Bear returned home, we have been able to continue building on the progress made, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in many areas. Before training, Bear struggled with crate training during the day, experienced separation anxiety, and had issues with anxious car rides, along with reactivity toward other dogs and occasionally people. After his time with Eddie, Bear has shown remarkable improvement. He is now much calmer during car rides, his separation anxiety has diminished significantly, and he can focus on us instead of reacting to other dogs when guided properly. We are extremely grateful to Eddie and deeply appreciate his communication, intentionality, and professionalism when it came to caring for and guiding our boy. Even after the training concluded, Eddie has remained accessible for any questions we might have and continues to be invested in Bear’s long-term success. We truly appreciate all of his support!
