"I have many years experience in an open admission municipal shelter, specializing in fearful dogs, and I was astonished by Fred’s natural abilities. His dedication, patience, and true understanding of dogs behavior is top notch. He is persistent and will take what ever time is needed to set animals up for success. Whether it be leash training, fear biting, and other behavioral problems...he has is covered. I have personally seen Fred take on the hardest cases and succeed. Individuals like Fred are few and far between. I highly recommend him."

"I first met Freddie at the San Jacinto Animal Campus Shelter because of a fearful German Shepherd I was going to adopt. I saw that he was very caring with the fearful dogs, so I asked for his help with another fearful dog I had adopted. He came to my house very quickly after my request & worked/taught my new dog, Mara & me how to walk on leash, go through a dog door, and to sit/stay before running out the front door. Mara had been at another shelter for about one year, she was afraid to leave my bedroom. Mara & I are doing great. I feel with Freddie’s help, Mara & I are more confident. I didn’t know exactly what to do to help her. Freddie is a gentle, knowledgeable, great teacher. He spent a lot of extra time with us. I am so happy with our results & that I asked for his help. Thank you so much Freddie. Leanna Scott"

"Freddie is the most compassionate, loving person I have met.  He loves all these animals so much he is so helpful and such an amazing person.  We rescued Hubert from the San Jacinto Animal Shelter and he was so helpful and loving towards Hubert...and got him to open up.  Hubert is a very fearful dog and I was having some issues when I brought Hubert home. I wrote Freddie and asked him if he could help.  He came to my home stayed here for almost 2 hours and got Hubert to open up and come out of hiding.  He is the most awesome person I have met in a while.  After Freddie left, unfortunately Hubert went back to the side of the house and I again called Freddie.  He came straight back to my house and helped me again and walked me through the process of how I can help Hubert to get through this. thank you so much Freddie, you’re an amazing person 💖🐾"

"Freddie KNOWS dogs, dog energy! Helped us with a fearful dog today. Just hours after he left us with new tools, we were able to calmly get dog outside without panic, and no growling! Amazing talent, generous with his knowledge and a real pleasure to know."

Lynn's post-session email to me:

 

"Hi Freddie. It was so nice to meet you and hear your expertise. You do have an amazing understanding of the dog mind/body/soul, which I appreciate. We ALL learned so much today, and have already put your teachings into practice. Mike got down on Ellbee’s level, gave treats, got some pets, all without any growls! Then, after he ate, I did the gentle leash pull with treats technique and GOT HIM TO GO TO THE SLIDER DOOR, while he WAITED FOR ME TO GO FIRST! Amazing. It all worked, patience, persistence, practice! I rewarded Ellbee in the yard on leash while he heeled (without knowing it), took advantage of opportunistic training. I think we are going to make strides now. Mike is encouraged, and I see a change only hours after you were here. We have been doing the fingers in the food, learned that years ago by having Rottweilers and getting some training, also took our t shirts out to the rescue the very first time we met Ellbee and had her put them in his kennel! So far, so good. We will be in touch with our progress. I look forward to getting the handouts about dog postures from you. We found the fact sheet on Brazilian Mastiff very interesting. Good info to have. Thanks SO much for journeying all the way out here. We appreciate you."

"My boyfriend and I met Freddie at the San Jacinto shelter when we went to go look at a few dogs that we were considering adopting and he was super sweet, knowledgable and honest and you could tell he was very passionate about what he does! When we adopted a husky/shepherd mix and were interested in getting him behavioral training, we both knew we wanted to try Freddie first and I'm glad we did!! He came to our house and taught us the basic commands, how to keep Chiron from racing into the house and how to slowly start introducing him with our 2 cats(which was very nerve racking for me before but, with Freddie, now I feel more at ease and have a better direction on what we need to do moving forward). We even got one of the cats (the calmer one) to boop noses with him :) I would HIGHLY recommend Freddie to anybody interested in getting professional training with their dog, he was very affordable and did such a great job that we insisted on giving him a little extra because he definitely deserved it!!! Thank you again Freddie"

Lisa Gallagher & Aussie, Australian Shepheard

Behavior Assessment & Consultation:

 

"As a foster mom working with a rescue organization, I consulted with Freddie regarding a little Australian shepherd who was experiencing a high level of anxiety and fear aggression. Freddie honed right in on the problem and, over the period of just one hour, was able to show me how to bring about significant changes in not only this little guys’ behavior but in his underlying emotional state. Freddie was super-organized and extremely well prepared. He was patient, clear, and easy to understand. He not only demonstrated what I needed to do but explained the rationale for it, allowing me to later apply my knowledge in a variety of novel situations. One of the things I appreciated most about the session with Freddie is his focus on the dog, rather than just the behavior. He was very perceptive to this traumatized little dog’s emotional state and provided me a well-thought-out approach to working with it. I had almost instantaneous success with the plan Freddie laid out, with the result that less than three weeks later this little dog had made such dramatic progress that he was readily adopted into a perfect home. Thank you, Freddie--I appreciate your help so much!"

Behavior Assessment & Consultation:

 

"After our oldest dog passed away, our second youngest girl which is a Catahoula/American Bulldog mix “about 18 months old” started becoming very possessive over the humans which leaded to aggression towards the other dogs. So much so she got into a fight with our 5 year old Boston Terrier which caused her to lose an eye. That was the final straw. We started to question if we could still keep her. The dog is amazing in every other sense of the word but we have 4 other dogs and can’t continue the emergency vet visits/dressing wounds and cleaning up blood. We have never had to surrender a dog before and didn’t want to make that choice without exhausting every option. We decided to call Freddie B. This guy is amazing! We started with a phone call and before I even paid him anything he took time out of his day to send me a bunch of information about the specific issue I was having. Before he came by he researched the specific dog breed and printed us a folder with a bunch of good information. He came to the house and the dogs immediately welcomed him. As soon as he walked into the door and started petting Zuri she tried snapping at our other Boston Terrier and he immediately took control of the situation. He spent time on training and aggression techniques and also teaching us humans that since the “Alpha” passed away she was taking that role but needs to learn she can’t do it in a demanding/bullying manor. He showed us how to get started and I truly believe Zuri has a strong chance in this pack.

If you are considering surrendering a dog for any reason there may be an easier fix than you think. Please put every effort in to the animals you committed to and give Freddie a call. He cares more about the well being of the dog than the money which is a hard trait to find these days!"

Behavior Assessment & Consultation:

 

"Though we have only began with a consultation, Freddie was positive and confident when working with my 3 yr old Blue Heeler. He has been expressing aggressive behaviors, especially in tight quarters and while I was a nervous wreck with him off leash in the house while a brand new, standing visitor, Freddie was able to read his body language, respect his boundaries to a fine line and left the session with no problems!


"We have never had a trainer that was as hands-on with Kettle Chip (my dog) and invested in building a relationship. I loved that he could show and explain cues Kettle Chip was expressing and explain behavioral threshold so although we have our work cut out for us, there are things other people can be doing to help us or at least understand.
 

Reviewed basic skills that we had learned in a prior class, but kindly reminded me how lenient we all get once in the daily grind. He was also able to get on the good side of my non-dog loving father and keep him engaged although he may not have liked Freddie's advice (I'm on Freddie's side!).


Freddie is willing to customize his package content depending on our progression through the skills which I think is great considering we have previous knowledge. Although, I have yet to have a good handle on how far we can go with Freddie, I am excited to refresh on those basic skills that strengthen our relationship, at the very least!"

     He was organized with reading material regarding the language of my dog, how it is a life long learning experience, and how, if you want your relationship with your dog to be a most successful one, you would benefit from the
knowledge Freddie B. gives.  He is filled with information, giving ideas and demonstrating how to implement behaviors of your dog both good and bad. 

 

     Wires are a notoriously stubborn breed and Freddie B. was able to achieve results it would have taken me a lifetime

We did the Behavior assessment and 4 one on one sessions, and with the tools/training given, we are both more confident and Hamilton is less fearful, more attentive, and definitely more confident and well behaved.


We still have work to do, but with the foundation Freddie provided, I am confident we will only get better."
