a Dog You Can Trust

“We totally entrusted our new pup with Andrew after an excellent referral and could not be happier. He always communicates and we have been in contact during training. Andrew is always there to answer questions and updates. The care of our dog has been top notch, the training and accommodating us through the process. We thoroughly recommend Andrew of Old North Dog Training.”

“We will be forever grateful to Drew for helping shape our puppy in to the fun-loving, obedient dog he is today…Drew catered to our dog’s strengths, sharpening his recall, listening and off the leash skills, while also working on his weaknesses, nipping his resource protecting tendencies in the butt. Drew PATIENTLY worked with us to transition his training techniques. Nearly a year later, the skills Drew taught our dog are as sharp as the day we picked him up from the program. I would highly, highly recommend Old North to anyone wanting to gain a well-trained dog!”

“I would really like to emphasize that Drew does not employ a “one size fits all” training style that we have been subjected to in the past. He worked extensively with us to really understand the relationship dynamic with us and our dogs and tailored his training method based on this information. We really appreciated his patience and demeanor with us throughout our training sessions.”

“He really knows his stuff. We have two Rottweilers. Which can be very hard to train. They adore him. Our female gets more excited to see him than when we come home. He really knows how to work with them. I have watched him over the years work with many types of dogs. He’s fantastic with all of them. We have great conversations about his continual Mission to make sure dogs are treated the best.”

“He was very communicative when I would "check in", and Lambeau Joe absolutely loves him. I first brought Lambeau to Drew as a puppy, and upon his return he was house broken, could sit, place, and come when called. Now when we have a "visit" or a brush up lesson, I know Lambeau is in excellent hands.”

Jen Harvey and Lambeau — Orlando, FL

“Drew came to meet us and our dog, clearly explained his process, provided updates throughout the boarding time, and took a solid amount of time to “transfer” commands to us when he brought our dog back. We are very happy with our experience!”

Kirsten Screen and Caffrey— Tega Cay, SC

“Buddy was trained on an e-collar and basic commands through Drew’s residency program. He has been thorough in follow up and follow through. He spent time teaching our family how to maintain training and patterns for Buddy’s behavior. Years later, Buddy still loves each time he sees Drew!”

Betsy Zarzour and Buddy -- Charlotte, NC

“Drew's affinity for her personality, along with his expertise in dog training, has made life in our home much more enjoyable and Lila is now a true delight! We trust him explicitly with her care and do not hesitate to recommend him.”
