TESTIMONIALS

Les was amazing with my dog and showed us a lot of simple tricks to make life so much easier with dog training. It is amazing how other behavior in everyday life corrected itself once we started training. Originally I signed up with training to improve my dogs lunging tendencies on walks but she also had terrible separation anxiety and would break out of her crate a lot, after we started training she hasn't broken out once. (And doesn't pull on the leash as much anymore) If your dog has any quirks you wish to improve I definitely recommend contacting executive canine services. He is very fair priced and honest, WELL worth the money and time. Thanks again Les!

Simply the best!! Les is fantastic. Helped us with our Lab pup. Provided us, as well our puppy with great training techniques. You can tell that Les loves what he does. He is patient, creative, and thinks outside the box to deal with any puppy related issue you might have. He made a world of difference in our pup, Mojo, and how he behaves. As always, it's all about repetition when training your dog, and lots of patience.I would highly recommend Les!! He's a very kind man, and absolutely brilliant at what he does. Thank you Les!!
