Dog Training by Bob Maida

As first-time dog owners, we were completely new to what it meant to raise/train a puppy—and it was overwhelming at first. Thankfully, we found Bob Maida, and he completely changed our experience for the better! From the moment we knew we would be adopting our puppy in February 2025, we connected with Bob. We called him to discuss what to look out for when adopting a puppy and he talked us through everything. We adopted our dog, Charlie, on a Saturday and Bob started with us the following Monday! From the first session, Bob came to our home and helped build a respectful and positive relationship between us and our new puppy, Charlie. Bob doesn’t just train dogs—he trains people, too. He took the time to explain our puppy’s body language and the different ways he was trying to communicate

I had the pleasure of working with Bob recently, and I must say, his training methodology exceeded all expectations. With his expert guidance, I found effective tools to train Daisy. Bob's approach is not only effective but also incredibly personalized. He took the time to understand Daisy's personality (as well as mine) and tailored techniques accordingly. From day one, I felt confident in his expertise and commitment to Daisy's progress. What sets Bob apart is his emphasis on practicality. He didn't just provide generic advice; instead, he offered actionable strategies that I could implement immediately. His hands-on approach made the training process both engaging and rewarding. Thanks to Bob, Daisy has made remarkable strides with needed commands and good dog behavior. His training

Bob Maida offers personalized, one-to-one in-person dog training. We have had 5 sessions ranging from 1-2 hours with him so far. He has helped our fearful, shy 12 week pit mix grow into a well behaved, confident, friendly dog! Bob has helped us to learn the skills to train our dog, so that he can have a fun & safe life, while being disciplined! Together we have been able to learn sit, sit & stay, down, down & stay, heel, come, and generally how to behave around other dogs and people. We had one session every two or so weeks and Bob gave us training assignments to work on within the two week period. I can say that our dog has come a long way and we are very happy with his behavior and progress! In addition, Bob is very helpful in giving advice whenever you call him with an issue or problem

Our Arush was rehomed to us this summer and outside of being crate and house trained, he was very "wild". Bob helped us tremendously and started with the basics and worked up to where we are very comfortable with his behavior inside and outside the house with other dogs and strangers. It's certainly hard work, but if you take the lessons you learn from Bob and apply them everyday, you are guaranteed positive results. Thanks Bob!

Bob was really helpful with my dog. In just a few months, he's much more confident when we walk and doesn't get as nervous around other dogs. It's helped me understand what he needs better, so, it was great overall. Bob is friendly, and straightforward! This is worth it.
