I needed some behavioral training for my puppy (Belgian Malinois/Mix) and i came across Critical Thinking. Within minutes of putting in an inquiry about training, Eddie (the owner) got in contact with me and gave me all the information i needed to know about his services and answered any questions that i had.I chose to put my pup in a longer training program and throughout that time Eddie was giving me updates on how my pup was doing, any behavior changes, sending pictures. Overall very professional, very knowledgeable on breeds and what each of their needs are. My pup is a totally different dog than when i first adopted him, he has a lot more confidence, he is a lot more attentive to his commands, etc. I highly recommend especially for him being local in the IE!

We initially found Eddie through our search of several trainers for our new puppy, Cooper. Then we found out that he was the same trainer that our good friend had for her 2 dogs and came in highly recommended for his services . “Uncle Eddie”, how we fondly call him, is a gem! He took in Cooper for the 8 week puppy training which was all worth it! Eddie took great care of our Cooper, specially when he had his first seizure incident while in training. He is just not a trainer…he sincerely cares. Cooper recently stayed with him for 2 weeks of boarding. We trust Eddie. He is family to us.

I cannot recommend Eddie enough! From the very first session, it was clear that he has a natural gift for working with dogs. His approach is patient, consistent, and tailored to each dog’s personality, which makes the training both effective and enjoyable. Eddie doesn’t just train dogs—he teaches owners how to communicate better with their pets, creating lasting results.What impressed me most was how quickly my dog responded to his guidance. Eddie breaks down each step in a way that’s easy to follow, and he celebrates progress no matter how small. His positive reinforcement techniques build confidence in both the dog and the owner. Beyond his skill, Eddie genuinely cares about the well-being of the animals he works with, and that compassion shines through in every session.Thanks to Eddie, my dog is more obedient, calmer, and happier. If you’re looking for someone who combines expertise with heart, Eddie is the trainer you want by your side.

We sent our 7-month-old puppy, Billie, to Eddie, and we are beyond impressed with the transformation! Before training, Billie had some tough habits—biting, not being potty trained, and struggling with basic commands. After working with Eddie and Josh, she’s now fully crate trained, knows her commands, and pees and poops outside consistently.One of the biggest changes we’ve seen is how much better she is with our kids. She went from being nippy and overstimulated to calm, playful, and responsive. Eddie’s approach was professional, effective, and clearly tailored to Billie’s needs. We’re so grateful and highly recommend his services to anyone needing real results with their pup!
