Testimonials

Ray was our third trainer to help us raise a rambunctious, rescue lab-mix into a well-mannered pet. Our dog is now in her “testing teen” years, but I can see that practice and perseverance will provide a big pay-off. Ray explains the dog’s behavior and how the owner can get the desired results. A visit to our Vet this a.m. garnered unsolicited compliments on her training. So this isn’t a biased opinion. Hire the best first (Ray) and forget the rest.

Rayfield Baisley is a knowledgeable and caring dog behavior consultant. He generously volunteered his time and talents to help establish Canine Assisted Therapy, and is the content creator of the B.A.R.K. program we utilize today within our pack readers program. It was with his insightful evaluations of many of our therapy dog programs that we were always able to help ensure we had teams serving in a facility that is befitting of the dogs temperament and personality. He coached our therapy dog handlers on reading canine body language and ways to ensure the therapy experiences were always beneficial for the patients they are visiting, and for the dogs and handlers as well. Canine Assisted Therapy is fortunate to have worked so long with Rayfield and thanks him for being a fellow rescue advocate.

Everything! Rayfield is truly a Dog Whisperer. I needed some help with my new puppy who was out of control. He needed a lot of work. I was worried that no one would be able to correct his bad behavior. As soon as I met Rayfield I knew he was going to be able to help me. He is extremely smart and knowledgeable. Not only did turn my puppy into an Angel he also taught me a lot of things. I was responsible for a lot of the bad behavior my puppy was doing. He has a saying that I love and say all the time. “Train Them, Don’t Blame Them” I highly recommend him.

Within 4 days of adopting Jack, we hired Ray for training based on the recommendation of a friend. Ray was fantastic, and wonderful with our boy. The way he trained (us & Jack) was easy to follow, and I loved seeing how much Jack enjoyed his “school days”. With the recent hurricane, I found myself saying “thank God for Ray” at least 3 times in the past 2 weeks. Not only is he very well behaved & socialized, but he was not experiencing stairs or an elevator for the 1st time during an emergency situation. We had to evacuate & ended up on the 4th floor. I saw as other humans struggled to get their pups on the elevator & they were very anxious when inside. Jack just walked in & sat right by my side. When the elevator was out of service & we were forced to use the stairs, although awkward & slow, Jack knew how to do them. I remember thinking that it was odd to even learn stairs & elevators, but he explained why and I will be forever thankful!

Rayfield was a pleasure to work with. Friendly, effective and professional. His love for dogs was evident at our first meeting. He is very knowledgeable. I was skeptical and thought online training was sufficient. I was wrong. Having Rayfield here in our home with our puppy Rae was a great decision. We highly recommend him.

Rayfield trained two of my dogs during the past decade; Oreo and Roxie. I’ve owned dogs all of my life and have worked with many trainers. Rayfield tops the list hands-down. His technique of working with the dogs’ behavior and making them understand new commands is outstanding. Once the dogs learn the commands, then he trains the owner and the owners’ behavior and attitude. Astonishing results on all counts. Aside from being a sensational dog trainer, Rayfield is a person whom I admire, trust and respect. He’s been an asset to my dogs as well as an asset to me.

Amazing trainer with such compassion and knowledge, We are truly thankful to have had him help many of our dogs!!!

Very happy with the progress I’m seeing in all three of our dogs. Learning so much more about their individual personalities than I had seen before. One of our pups went from not being able to attend doggy daycare to now being a welcome client. Ray is laid back, not judgemental and really listens to what you want to achieve with your dogs. He understands every household and every dog is unique and works accordingly. Thank you!

We had Ray train our rescue puppy, Georgia. His knowledge and approach FAR exceeded our expectations! He helped us not only train Georgia from a behavior standpoint but also recommended healthy food, treats, toys and the best leash and collar to use. We loved he would come to the house to work with Georgia in her environment. Highly Recommend, Ray!!
