What Our Clients Say
Real results from real dog owners. Hear directly from our clients about the lasting improvements they’ve seen in their dogs after training with Erin.
We recently worked with Erin to train our two energetic dogs, Doc and Wyatt, and the results have been nothing short of transformative! As first time littermate parents, we have had some behavioral challenges and we were a bit overwhelmed. Erin made the entire process fun, effective, and tailored to our pups’ personalities.
From the start, her expertise shone through—she assessed Doc’s dominant aggressive streaks and Wyatt’s playful distractions with patience and insight, using some tools and positive reinforcements. Within just a few sessions, we saw huge improvements.
What I appreciated most was her clear communication; she not only trained the dogs but also empowered us with tips and homework to maintain the progress at home. I would highly recommend Erin. She’s the best!

Working with Erin at Olympus Dog Training was a great experience for both me and my dog, Nikeeta. Erin helped us improve heeling, loose leash walking, the place command, and solidified Nikeeta‘a sit and down. She also introduced nose work in a way that was engaging and effective.
Erin is knowledgeable, patient, and explains training in a way that’s easy to understand and apply. Nikeeta is more focused, responsive, and confident thanks to her training. I highly recommend Erin and Olympus Dog Training.
