I am writing this to inform how Eileen Drummond has improved the quality of our lives. My husband and I are retired and several months ago welcomed a very energetic and happy puppy into our home. We fell in love with her instantly but realized that we really needed more knowledge in reference to discipline for her, so we enrolled in dog obedience classes. This eventually developed into a very bad experience. The instructor almost immediately wrote our dog off as being too much for us and conveyed the idea that we had an un-trainable dog.

After weeks of soul searching and knowing deep in our hearts that we had a wonderful, intelligent dog we decided to try another course of dog obedience classes. After inquiring around, Eileen was referred to us. She immediately recognized our dog’s potential and never gave up on her. Eileen continuously offered encouragement, tips on discipline and various harnesses to use to prevent pulling. Whatever she offered worked.

We now have a disciplined, happy, energetic dog that is a certified therapy dog and we have had many good experiences visiting nursing homes, mental health facilities and activities with children. This has been such a positive experience in retirement and has added an important dimension to our lives.

Thank you Eileen!

Dear Ms. Drummond,
Thank you very much for your beginner obedience class, which I recently attended. Because of my good manners and willingness to listen to my family, I am able to go many places and am a delight to be around. We also appreciated your flexablility by letting us attend your other class, if we sometimes could not make ours. You answered all of our class' questions and helped to solve individual problems. Because of your dedication, we may call you at any time for additional advice. And since I plan to volunteer as a therapy dog when I get older, your generosity provides extra help free of charge. Thanks again for providing a real community service at a very affordable price.

A grateful student,
Loki

I am a client of Eileen Drummond. I met her in 1999 and have been training with her ever since not only with my own personal dogs but with many rescues that have been either abandoned or surrendered for all different reasons. I feel all dogs should be obedience trained and supervised socialization is a must. I began training with her in winter 1999 with my 1 year old rescued English Mastiff, Duchess. She was very shy with people. I never had a dog like this before and I did not know how to deal with this problem. I talked with her on the telephone and then attended one of her classes with Duchess so she could evaluate and help me resolve this problem. She gave me advice and exercises on how to help her through this problem. In fall 2000 I tested Duchess for Canine Good Citizen and a Therapy Dog and she passed. She now visits nursing homes, kids camps, hospitals, and many other community events. My next dog to be trained was a rescued Labrador Retriever puppy. Bailey was 4 months old when she came into my life. She had been a stray that was hit by a car and suffered a broken leg. We started attending classes right away just for socialization and after she recovered we participated in the obedience classes and she was also certified as a Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog. Blackie, a Border Collie/Pitbull mix, was another rescue that I trained through Eileen. This dog was much more difficult to train because she was deaf, 8 years old and had never been out of an outside kennel. She successfully completed training and was also certified as a Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog. Snoopy, an older Beagle Mix, was another rescue that I trained through Eileen. Snoopy was a victim of a hit, run and left for dead accident. She luckily recovered and was also certified as a Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog. I have trained many other dogs through Eileen. Most of these dogs were abandoned and abused and looking for a new home. Eileen's training has successfully help these dogs find their new forever homes. Her knowledge and years of experience has made her a great trainer. She is very knowledgeable of all different breeds and if she is not familiar with one she will research to find out about the particular breed. She has many suggestions/solutions for problems you might encounter with your dog. I work at a local veterinarians office and many of our clients ask for a recommended obedience instructor. Eileen Drummond is highly recommended through our office.

To anyone who has a dog,
I would highly recomend Eileen's puppy class or obidiance class. I got a german shepard pup 2 1/2 months old. He was agresive, dominant and a face biter. I had no idea what to do. My vet recomened Eileen. Eileen called me (I'm long distance) she gave me sugestions and invited me to come to a class and she would show me what to do. I tried to pay her and she refused, she just wanted to help for my dogs sake. I did what she told me to and I have the most loving calm handsome little pup. It took very little work thanks to her knowlage. I just needed to show him lovingly that I was master. I enroled in her puppy class and he is so good, for me and with the other pups and people. I use her technicks on my other 2 german shepards 10, & 11 and they do what I ask and love it. I no longer yell or scold and my dogs and they are a joy to be around. They behave. I will be enrolling in Eileen's other classes and my pup will be training for a therapy dog. He is so calm now I can't belive it myself. I have a 3 year old grandson and I no longer have any fear letting the 2 of them play. Eileen knows her breeds and what each breed needs, it is amazing to watch her at class talk to each of us with our different breeds and needs. Plus, any questions she lets you call her she doesn't charge she does it out of love for dogs and that is the only kind of trainer I'd ever use. Eileen I thank you from the bottem of my heart!!
