| "I've been around hunting dogs and dog trainers all my life and am familiar with most trainers in Texas. Richard trained the 13th hunting dog I've owned, a Labrador retriever I wanted to use as not only a waterfowl dog, but to also become part of my family and have good obedience as I have 4 young children. I highly recommend Richard to train your dog whether your a novice hunter or experienced waterfowler, or merely looking for some obedience training. In my opinion - Richard is the best dog trainer I know of or have ever worked with in the past. Please feel free to contact me personally if you want. I can be reached at I can be reached at (214) 350-1203 or via e-mail at rramage@dykema.com." |

| Tiger & Clifford 8 week Basic Obedience Program Owned by MICHELLE GORDON michellegordon7@sbcglobal.net |
| Richard included me in both of my dogs progress and training every step of the way. By constantly communicating with me on how and what they were doing via phone, e-mail, and constantly sending me training photographs and videos of my dogs. I participated with Richard in the training process and Richard was beyond accommodating to my busy schedule. At the end of my dog's training - Richard accomplished exactly everything he said he would do with them and more. He worked with my dogs daily on a one-on-one basis, not throwing my dogs into some training mill or group with other dogs. What I got back from Richard are 2 completely obedient dogs. |
| Bruiser Daily Sessions Owned By Chase Carpenter doc5168@yahoo.com |
| Richard conveniently makes himself available for daily sessions in which you can set up according to your schedule and learn at your own pace. You can meet with him as often as you wish then take his training methods home with you to train your dog. I favor this method of training so you can personally care for and train your own dog. Richard can help you solve any problem you may have encountered in training your own dog. If I make a mistake or we’re ready for the next step I can schedule a session and/or contact Richard anytime. It’s like Richard is the coach and Bruiser and I are the TEAM. Since we’ve been working with Richard’s direction, Bruiser has become a completely different dog. One I’ll take to the blind or the line anytime. I know that Bruiser will be the dog I’m wanting because the daily training sessions are geared toward my personal goals and I’m left with the responsibility to see it through. Feel free to contact me through email if you’d like: doc5168@yahoo.com. See you in the blind or at the line. Happy Hunting!! Thanks, Chase Carpenter |
| Tee Daily Sessions Owned By Wade Duay |
| “Wanting to train my own dog for hunting and hunt tests I initially went to Richard to help me through the mysteries force fetching. In the process he made a permanent client out of me. His gentle approach and easy to understand methods has helped me take Tee from a young dog struggling with junior/started dog concepts to the point where we are now preparing for our big run at master/finished. He’s the only person outside of the family that I completely trust with my hunting buddy. I cannot thank him enough! Wade Duay & Tee (HR Two Belles High Hopes of B&W JH)” |
| Sunni Rae Daily Sessions Owned By Carolyn & Rockie Hall rockie@impactfloors.com or 214-869-8039 |
| I highly recommend Richard Pulvino for training your dog or training you to train your dog. Sunni is 85 lbs of energy, hard headedness and is spoiled rotten. A challenge for any trainer. Since meeting up will Richard, Sunni and myself have excelled in reaching our goals. Richard has always been available by either phone, email or in person to help you work through the issues. I have not had an issue yet that Richard's knowledge, patience, demeanor or tenacity has not been able to over come. I could go on but, you get the idea, Richard is my dog trainer. Enough said. Feel free to call or email me. |

| Mr. Richard Pulvino Re: LouLou Dear Richard: Thanks so much for taking care of LouLou for us over Spring Break. It’s always nice for us to know that she is treated as a part of the family, as opposed to taking up space in a kennel. She thrives on interaction with people, and we appreciate the time and energy you put into making her stay with you fun and enjoyable. Thanks again for everything. Sincerely, Mark B. Matise |

Well you did it. You turned a wimpy suck ass chocolate lab into a hunting machine. Brought her out tonight for her first duck hunt. After I missed the first 4 that flew by and she stopped laughing at me it was all business. I dropped one that hit the ground about 75+ yards behind me. She didn’t see it go down she was actually sitting on the other side of the beaver house. I called her to me and sent her in I don’t know how she knew what I wanted but she did. I thought that she had went way beyond where the duck landed but she came out of the grass, cattails and swamp carrying a beautiful female mallard. She didn’t want to let it go at first. After I got it from her I set it down so I could pet her and tell her what a good dog she was, the duck started to run away well she was back on that duck like you couldn’t believe |

Friends referred us to Richard because "he works magic with dogs". We needed a little magic with our large great dane puppy- before she got so big and out of control that she ruled the house! Bella spent 2 months with Richard, and in that time developed into a well-behaved, loving, gentle giant. She's a pleasure to walk these days, and no longer "plays" too hard with our children. Richard spent a lot of time teaching Bella- and us- the basics. It's now a pleasure to take this 100 pound, 8 month old puppy to the park and watch her sit while all the kids pet her and chaos breaks out around her. Our kids love having her sweet disposition around and I love how she listens and obeys our instructions. With Richard's help, Bella has become a much loved part of our family. |

| I wish they could see him now. Teddy was a pup we got from North Dakota. I was kind of new in the hunting dog area when trainer that brags about how many championship dogs they have trained. It was one of those quick training to save you money places. Teddy spent the required time at the ranch and when I picked him up the trainer told me he was a lost cause. I was told that dog has no drive and is not birdie enough to make a hunting dog. I admit that Teddy is a lot different than the High energy full throttle black labs that most of these trainers are training but I was not ready to give up. I had a phone conversation with about 10 different trainers all across four states and visited many of the facilities myself. When I visited Richard I knew that my first impression was not far off on him. His facility looked like my house. His training places resembled places I hunt. My dog sleeps in his home and plays with other dogs just like home. There is not 20-30 dogs on the place. Richard told me right away that Teddy had potential and he wasn’t wrong. Teddy is the most laid back calm house lab you will ever meet but when the camo comes out he is a machine. Not every dog is the same. I recently just picked up my second dog that Richard has trained. Duke or “The Devil Dog” as my wife says is the opposite of Teddy and Richard did a fine job with him as well (wife is happy). Richard will get to know your dog personally. He will figure out what makes him tick and motivates him. He understands the differences in how much pressure to apply to the many different personalities of dogs. He will train your dog and teach you how to use your dog. You will understand why your dog tries to do certain things. The best training is useless unless the owner is taught how to use it in the process. Teddy spent Saturday fetching 4 limits of ducks. He spent over ten minutes swimming after a wounded diver and picked up a couple of doubles. Pretty good for a dog with no drive. Now if we can just slow that tail down when the ducks are locked up.
