We tried two other trainers before Rick. Gus was pulling so hard I dreaded walks. Week 2 he was actually walking next to me. My wife now takes him out instead of me.

No polish. Quotes pulled straight from the people doing the work.

Honest review — Benny used to lose his mind at the door. Rick gave us a 10-minute drill we ran every day. Three weeks in, the doorbell doesn’t set him off anymore.

Stubborn dog. Smart dog. Rick didn’t sugarcoat anything. Showed us what to do, made us repeat it, fixed what we were doing wrong. That’s what I needed.

Finn had zero impulse control. Now he sits at the door, waits for the leash, and doesn’t bolt out of the car. Real change in like a month. Worth every dollar.

Common questions
The fine print, in plain English.
Dog owners in and around Huntsville who want ongoing access to a working trainer without paying for a private package every time a question comes up. Best fit if your dog is past the puppy-mill stage and you’re ready to put real work in between sessions.
Founder ($9/mo) and Community ($15/mo) get the same Pack features — drill video library, monthly live Q&A on Zoom, The Pack chat with weekly trainer hour (Wednesdays at 7 PM CT, rotating Rick, Lisa, or Heather), 10% off IC services, and member-only Field Days. The only difference is price: Founder locks $9 for life, first 20 members only. After those 20 spots fill, Community is the standard tier at $15/mo. Pro ($35/mo) adds two video critiques per week (5 min max each, reviewed by Rick or one of his trainers) plus one 30-minute 1-on-1 Zoom call per month with a trainer.
First 20 members in pay $9/mo for life. As long as you stay subscribed, your $9 rate never goes up. Once those 20 spots are claimed, the Founder tier closes for good — new members choose Community ($15) or Pro ($35). If you cancel and rejoin later, you pay whatever the rate is at that time.
Upload your training videos to your own YouTube channel as unlisted videos and share the link in your account — up to 2 videos per week, 5 minutes max each. Rick or one of his trainers (Lisa or Heather) reviews them and sends back a written critique with comments on what’s working and what to fix. Plus you get one 30-minute Zoom call per month with a trainer — schedule it through Acuity when you need it.
No, The Pack is separate from your training program. But your 10% member discount applies to your next package or any add-on service while you’re subscribed, which usually pays for the membership several times over.
