Real Reviews. Real Results. Real Dogs.
I don’t believe in dragging training and behavior problems out for weeks or months. I come into your home, identify what is causing the behavior, and show you exactly what needs to change so you can lead your dog calmly and confidently.
This isn't cookie-cutter obedience training. It's real, practical, in-home behavior work designed to create lasting change — for both the dog and the human.
Below are real Google reviews from Indiana dog owners I’ve helped with aggression, reactivity, anxiety, out-of-control puppies, and other difficult behaviors.
Serving Fishers, Carmel, Indianapolis, Westfield, Noblesville, Zionsville, Whitestown, and surrounding areas.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Issue: Dogs fighting in the home
Result:
“We had Vernon out to help with two male dogs that wouldn’t get along. Honestly, they couldn’t stand each other and we believed they may never get along. Vernon spent a four-hour session showing us how to train them properly and how to use the tools the right way. It took time and work, but we could not have done it without him. The muzzles are gone and they are acclimated. We highly recommend Indiana Dog Whisperer.”
— Ashley D., Indiana
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Issue: Out-of-control puppy
Result:
“My household is back to being peaceful and calm — even with a 7-month-old puppy. I was at my wit’s end. Vernon was here one day for four hours and just days later my puppy was a completely different dog. No more jumping, chewing, or chaos. My life is back to normal.”
— Noelle L., Indiana
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Issue: Aggression and obedience
Result:
“We tried other trainers before, but no one could get our dog to listen like Vernon. Other programs couldn’t fix the behavior in weeks — he did it in four hours. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.”
— Heather C., Indiana
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Issue: High-strung dogs
Result:
“We have two high-strung dogs and within an hour of Vernon’s arrival they were totally different. The key is that he teaches the humans too. I would recommend him no matter what the situation.”
— Sharon B., Indiana
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Issue: Family stress + aggression
Result:
“Our family was desperate. Vernon spent four quality hours in our home, quickly assessed the situation, stopped the behavior immediately, and showed us exactly what to do. He demonstrated, then watched us do it so we felt confident. He came as a stranger and left as a friend. Our home is calm and happy again.”
— Amber C., Indiana
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Issue: Puppy frustration & leash issues
Result:
“We were at the height of frustration with our pup. Walks weren’t fun and visitors were a nightmare. Vernon calmly explained everything and the change in just a few hours was incredible. If you’re struggling, he can absolutely help.”
— Steve G., Indiana
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Issue: Stranger danger
Result:
“Our dog had serious stranger danger and I felt hopeless. After working with Vernon, I felt 100% confident handling him. Huge difference.”
— Lind L., Indiana
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Issue: Leash reactivity + multi-dog home
Result:
“Within one hour, our leash-reactive dogs were calmly walking near others. By the end of the session they were peacefully sharing a home with another dog — something I never thought possible. The results were life-changing.”
— Brett M., Indiana
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“He also provided an incredibly thorough written summary afterward, so I didn't have to spend the session taking notes or worry about remembering everything.”
— Andrea B.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“His detailed follow-up summary was above and beyond anything we expected. It gave us a clear plan to continue practicing at home, and we feel so much more confident moving forward.”
— Noelle N.
Common Issues I Work With
• Aggression toward people or dogs
• Leash reactivity (pulling, barking, lunging)
• Out-of-control puppies
• Anxiety and fear-based behavior
• Stranger danger
• Multi-dog household issues
• Jumping, chewing, barking
• Lack of respect or listening
Most dogs aren’t stubborn — they’re confused or anxious. When the human changes, the dog follows.
