Nellie was rescued from a backyard after a month of being abandoned by the death of her owner. Very Very Very sweet girl who was very stressed by all the changes in her life. She is very lucky, a patient new owner and chill sibling Midnight. Life will be good again.

"I was at my witts end with the dog fights and stress of bringing a new dog into my home with two elderly cats and an older dog. William worked with me over two sessions to train me to be the leader of my pack. I had a stress free night last night and my pups are settling in with each other. His methods are wonderful and quick to learn. I highly recommend TROUBLES BEHIND ME CANINE training."

Dulce was a 7-month old puppy and had already gone through 2 puppy training classes and 2 individual training sessions but was still resistant to all commands and would jump on and mouth people when she first met them.

"William gave us great tools and strategies to help us regain the pack leadership position with our 7-month old Standard Poodle. Even after 2 puppy training classes and a couple of individual training sessions, she was still resistant and willful. William showed us how to get Dulce's attention and focus. She has improved a tremendous amount in 5 sessions with William. We highly recommend him."

Behavior toward other dogs

"William, Troubles and the pack were fantastic. We were considering sending our new rescue pup away to be trained on an ecollar for seemed like dog aggression. about 6 sessions over 3 months with William, Troubles and Pops, with some work on our end and our dog is now walking and playing with other dogs like we always wanted. William was always professional, prompt and reliable. Can not say enough good things about this crew."

★★★★★

Destructive tendencies, Jumping on people, Fearful Behavior, Anxious Behavior, Biting when anxious

"What can I say? William knows his stuff. He uses evidence-backed practices and really takes the time to explain everything that he does, including why dogs behave the way they do. My (very) recent rescue pup, Zuke, and I worked with William and Troubles for 3 sessions over 6 weeks and what a difference it has made. Zuke is a very energetic pup who had a rough start in life and was in and out of the shelter a few times before he found me. We worked on basic obedience/leash training and strategies to help manage his anxious and energetic behaviors. I can finally walk down any street without him lunging and barking at passing cars, and car rides are a much more enjoyable experience for all. Zuke and I are off to a great start thanks to Troubles Behind Me and I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a little help with their pup!" " (On google)

"William did an amazing job with helping Madison, our Schnoodle, transition from a house in the suburbs to apartment living in NYC. He is dedicated, well-informed about dog behavior, but most of all was patient and made sure we were taught how we needed to take control and redirect her energy. Barking is no longer an issue.

We have a much calmer and happier home, with humans leading, and Madison happily obeying. In one in-home session, and one outdoor leash walking and stair climbing session, Madison is a new dog!""

William is amazing. Our dog had some behavioral issues and had bitten two dog walkers! Gulp. He showed us how to modify our behavior so that our sweet pup felt safe and in a very short time our fur baby was almost back to the loving puppy we knew and love."

"There was significant improvement after just the first consultation. It is very obvious that William knows what he is doing, has an intuitive understanding of animals, and has also educated himself a LOT on the subject. He really is a pro and we have recommended him to friends many times. Highly recommend."

"My one-year-old corgi, which I'd had since she was two months old, suddenly developed some serious behavior problems just after her first year. She was unwilling to walk on a leash; corgis are not only much stronger than their size, but they are extremely headstrong, and she would alternatively dig in her feet, lie on the pavement, and even roll over on her back and dare me to drag her.

Walking with her had become such a consistent trial, three times a day, every day, that I was at the point of seriously considering placing her in another home. I was directed to William, and, in essence, he gave me back my dog and our relationship. In only three sessions, spaced out over about a month, I was able to reassert control over the dog.

William was extremely patient, both with her and with me. He has a myriad of different techniques and approaches, depending on the dog, the owner, and the situation, and above all, your goals, which he helped to establish for us, are his goals.

One example, after the first lesson, she disappeared behind a row of hedges and led me a merry - to her - chase to find her. When I discussed this with William on the next session, rather than just dealing with it quote “theoretically” or in the abstract, we walked together to the part of the park - exactly where she disappeared - and went through training on that very spot.

I bump into William frequently, and he's always more than open to listen and give advice. He's not looking to create a need for additional sessions or additional training which are not necessary, and most of all, quite obviously, my dog loves to see him.

I can't recommend William highly enough. I feel he gave me back my relationship with my dog."

"William and Troubles took great care of Niko. They helped me show Nik’s true potential.
I’m excited to continue growing with my pup as he decreases his aggressive ways."

"William really connects with me so that I’m able to maximize the obedience training of my sweet but, overly frisky dachshund puppy, Sadie. He Is successfully training me and my pooch with simple, easy to follow instructions and commands and gentle but firm touches without the use of treats or extraneous reinforcement. This is making my time with Sadie more fun and more relaxing which gives me more time to show my love for her without having to discipline her. William is a gem."

"Worked with Troubles Behind Me 3 weeks ago for my 11 year old Yorkshire Terrier. William & Troubles were great and took their time to understand the fear based aggression issues my dog was having and offer suggestions and ways to change this behavior.

He didn't try to sell me follow up sessions and was honest in that he thought our 1 session should fix the issue. He has checked in via email weekly and has even offered more assistance. He truly cares about people and their pets and is not out to just take your money.

I would absolutely recommend him to a friend and wouldn't hesitate to use him again should the need arise."

"William and Trouble are great. Rico is a anxious dog that gets nervous around new people and dogs.

William helped me learn to manage situations to help Rico feel more comfortable. Trouble helped Rico be more comfortable around dogs. (Especially larger dogs.)"

"Go to Troubles Behind Me if you value expert understanding of animals AND their people. Trust an instructor who can explain things from an animal perspective as well as William can. He gets it. Your dog will get him, and you will too."

"Don't let this cute face fool you -- this little 17 pound rescue was quite a nightmare before working with William and Troubles. Because of what I learned, and how I was trained, this little guy is now a champ -- a great companion dog for our family and with my other dog. Truly a miracle to see the transformation from William and Troubles."

"William's knowledge of the psychology of thought and decision process is key to getting positive results from the dog...and the owner. :) His balance between firm expectations and warm regard gets a good outcome and gives a fun experience. William's intuition is a subtle leveler that takes each step of training to the next level. You can trust that William won't quit until you get the outcome you want."

"William came to my home and he and Troubles took an instant liking to each other. His calm demeanor puts animals at ease. I love how Troubles has gone from a show/country dog to a well rounded city dog who is living the life." - Vivian Marchetti
