If there were higher than a 5 star rating David Scott certainly has eared it from me. I give reviews based on service received and the service received from David Scott was excellent, There are not enough words to explain how well David knows dogs, and how he uses that knowledge to show us how to re-gain control of our environment. We adopted a 4 mo. Old American Bulldog with more energy and stubbornness than our previous experience could handle. She was supposed to be a companion for our 13 yr. Old Boxer but she made him nervous, in a one 1 hr. Introductory session David turned it all around. My husband an I are still in amazement. He showed us how dogs think and respond. It has been 1 day, my husband and I have been doing exactly what David showed us and we have day and night difference in behavior already, no more chewing on everything in sight, no more climbing on all the furniture, no more stealing Samson’s treats(the Boxer) she calmly lays on her bed without being restrained, until released. She is going potty outside. I could go on and on. We are so happy with the results we signed up for David’s class. If he could show us this much in just 1 hour, I can’t wait to see how well our girl will do when my husband and I learn more that David has to teach us. His prices are the most reasonable I’ve seen in the industry, if you want a well mannered, obedient respectful dog, check out David Scott, at Behavioral Training, you won’t regret it. More...

Fantastic experience! Very knowledgeable and personable. Worked with my six Cocker Spaniels that demonstrated anxiety, aggression and a few other behavioral issues. Noticed immediate changes after the first visit. Highly recommend David. Most definitely worth the investment! More...

We were desperate for help with our bull terrier. The vet told us we should put him down. The first time Dave visited, for eval, we could tell we'd found the right guy. Now, several weeks later it's like we have a different dog! In a good way! Dave uses tried and true methods. I think he has seen it all, and knows what to do and how to do it. He earns all 5 stars in this rating. Many years experience in this field. I recommend him!! More...

When we found Dave at Dog Behavioral Training we were desperate to save our 11 month old bull terrier. The vet told us we should put our pup down rather than deal with his aggression. When Dave came to evaluate we knew instantly we'd found the right man. He identified and taught us to correct bad behavior, and here it is several weeks later and our furry friend is like a different dog. In a good way! Dave uses tried and true methods; he has so much experience that he's probably seen it all. I'd say see Dave before you give up! More...

David is amazing! We just adopted our shepherd mix, Goose, and felt overwhelmed and out of options. To a point where returning him to the shelter was our only choice.
Luckily my fiancé came across David’s site and he was absolutely blown away by the reviews. David understood the emergency and was able to fit us in a short notice. In ONE VISIT we were able to have our dog and cat in the same room without a scene from Rambo ensuing. AND he got him crate trained. It was amazing, you could hear the birds sing and world peace was in the horizon.
We also appreciated how HE DOES NOT USE TREATS. We knew Goose responds well with treats and we would have accomplished nothing with using more treats. When we had seen Goose respond to David without treats, that was how we knew David was the one and this was the start of a beautiful bromance between man and dog.
Please don’t hesitant to contact David. Just do it. We already feel so much lighter after one visit. You can tell David really knows what he’s doing and he’s so passionate about it. It’s not about the money for him. In fact I guarantee you’ll want to adopt David as well by the end of the visit. Thanks for saving our sanity and making us a pack, David. Goose did in fact look for you after and looking forward to his second date. He’ll be the one with the loose leash.

Thanks for the kind words. Until we see Goose again.

Went from “screw loose crazy dog” to happy and calm just after a few sessions. She no longer jumps and/or grabs people’s arms, and rushing the front door is a thing of the past. My sweet girl had a lot of separation anxiety issues, and I quickly realized I was feeding into them with my actions. I got trained and now she respects me as the leader. Thank you! More...

David is amazing. He came to do an eval on my Aussie, Jude about 6 months ago. Jude was extremely insecure and had issues with food aggression, aggression towards other dogs and unpredictability with people in our home. David came into our home for the first time in December and Jude was ready to attack David (thankfully he was muzzled). After a few minutes of chaos Jude slowly but surly begin to trust David. David gave us a bunch of homework and has worked with us weekly in different settings and in the home since. Jude has come so far and is able to walk without a leash past any dog, can go to the dog park and play, and recently just went to stay with David for a boot camp for a week where he and David were best buddies and he played well with all of David’s dogs! I am so proud of how far he has come, but we aren’t done yet. As an owner you have to continue working with your dog every day and remain consistent with all training and socialization. This training will only work if you are willing to put in the effort and do what David tells you. If you are willing to put in the work, David had will be by you every step of the way. I am so happy with his progress and know Jude will only continue to improve from here! More...

Our dog Willow was having some dog on dog aggression issues and we contacted David. Within 5 minutes of our initial meet David had complete control over our dog and Willow instantly became calm and obedient.
David is very thorough and helped us tackle all of our complaints with our dog and taught us how to be proper dog parents.
Willow is now able to go to dog parks and play with strangers dogs and our life is so much easier.
If you’re considering someone besides David, don’t! He’s worth every (affordable) dollar.

I have five dogs all problems from barking, fear, nipping and chewing my furniture all up and so much more and in 10 minutes MR DAVID SCOTT had all my dog under control I could not believe what I saw and no treats and not a lot of words all I can say amazing he is the best worth it to hire him I took my dogs to Petco & Pet Smart all they do is treats & more treats to make your dog obey u so if your dog gets sick its because most dog treats have propylene glycol in them another word for antifreeze so look at what u are feeding your dog and its in some dog food too so please all u dog owners think twice about how u train your dogs and MR Scott all I can say thank u and your the best thank u so much.

I highly recommend this Man David Scott! Change my life I had two out of control aggressive dogs I could never have friends or family over or take them to the park cause of fear that would hurt someone or another dog after 4 sessions it was a miracle I have my life back and my dogs have become the best behaved dogs at the park and I just want to say thank you for everything

Just had my first consultation with David Scott with my Toy dog Taj. My dog instantly listen to him right away. He gave us directional tools and homework on how to reach out to Taj.
He has anxiety, some dominance on my boyfriend, and listens only when he wanted to. My guilt was caudaling My dog all the time. My boyfriend and Taj didn't bond well. He basically ruled me and us. By the end of the session, he had him doing things I never thought that was possible. And he listened to my boyfriend. Can't wait for the next session with David Scott.!!! Thank you, Thank you!!!

David came into my house and in 5 min he showed me how to have control of my dogs. My dogs were the crazy dogs that when you say the word walk it was instantly a circus at the door. In 10 minutes I was able to have my door wide open and both dogs patiently waiting. He is definitely blessed with the ability to speak dog language and train humans ❤️ Thank you David More...

I had several issues with my Aussie and had three dog trainers out to correct her behaviors. They all took my money and said there was not much they could do. Finally, I found David Scott and within minutes he had my dog under his control. It was purely magical. More...

David is a Dog-Human psychologist and a great trainer - dog and human. He helped me understand how to be a better pack leader with Houdini< how to handle myself when walking him on and off leash. David fine-tuned me with small changes that made the biggest differences in me and my dog's behavior. Your book is fantastic and relates to everything you taught during the training. Thanks again, David. More...

I use to watch Cesar Millan, then I found David Scott, I would say he is just as good if not better. He had my two girls under control within the first five minutes of his evaluation. I have never seen someone get a dog under control as quick as David Scott without saying one word. He truly understands dogs and has this ability to communicate with them at their level of understanding. If you ever have a problem with your dog, being, insecurity, fear, domination or aggression, David is the first one to call. You will be amazed. David just published a book that has all the answers you need to know. More...

Cesar Millan has nothing on David Scott. David will walk into your home and within minutes your dog will obey every command he issues through the body language. It is truly magical to watch and learn. More...

What do you love most about your job?
Watching human owners who finally learn that they can talk to their dogs without saying a word or treats.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Knowing that very few people in my line of business could do what I can do in healing dogs and people.
Why should our clients choose you?
There are only a few Canine Psychologist in Southern California and Arizona. Many trainers say they have some experience with behavioral issues and this does not hold truth. Many clients have had one or two trainers before I am contacted without success and a waste of time and money.
Private Training Classes
All training sessions are treated at the home of dog(s) or human owners. A dog's behavioral issues can not be permanently changed unless addressed in it's own territory. Social issues are dealt with either at a dog park and/or a public setting.
