Miska
Six years ago we were lucky enough to find Francois at puppy classes to help us socialize what at the time was our little lovable, strong willed, challenging “barracuda”. Yes she liked to use her teeth. With his vast knowledge and intuitiveness of animals he has helped us to now have the sweetest, most gentle, well behaved Husky/Great Pyrenees that she is today. From day one we could see his devotion, kindness and the love of his work shine through while he was with all the pups. That and the strong connection shown in our puppy’s eyes towards Francois (even though he was a big scary man) kept us going to him and trusting him with our very special family member through out the years.
We have trained and boarded with him regularly with complete confidence. We have found Francois to be totally trustworthy and reliable. In 6 years he has always turned up when arranged and has communicated very well whether responding through texts or calls promptly. Francois has always been very positive, patient and encouraging not only with our dog but with us.We can’t say enough about how dedicated and dependable he has been.
For us the biggest testament to Francois’s character is shown through the eyes of “Miska” . True Love. When she sees him she is happy, excited and playful. You can’t fake that… it is earned with having a big heart and kindness. Francois has shown himself to be an energetic, compassionate, caring, very interactive, responsible man and always a pleasure to talk to. We know that when he has “Miska” he will keep her safe and shower her with love. I can’t imagine leaving her any where else as I would worry and with Francois we have never had any concerns or cause to worry.
We have no hesitation recommending him for any job he endeavors to take on and highly recommend him for training any dog.

I have always known who to go to when I need any advice, help, training or behaviour modifications. I have a large breed, lovable to people but volatile with any other dog, tricky to train bear cub. Francois has always had just the right tools and techniques to handle any situation my girl and I present. I also know who I can trust to look after her when I need boarding because I know she will be well handled and safe in his care. I highly recommend Francois for any dog and owner training, behaviour issues and all canine services – he is ‘the dog whisperer’.

Thunder
I called Francois when I got my new pup, Thunder. I wanted to ensure success in training, as Thunder’s Frenchton breed (half French Bulldog, half Boston Terrier) was known to be stubborn and difficult at times and we wanted to get ahead of those issues early. I was confident I knew my fair share about dog behaviour and training, as I had grown up with dogs my whole life, and decided to call a professional to ensure I was doing things correctly. Within minutes after discussing what Francois’ approach and methods were with Francois, I had seen first hand my “high level of knowledge” wasn’t as high as I had thought. He Immediately helped correct the errors in my methods, which i was unaware of. He explained why the dog wasn’t responding as I wanted, and had Thunder obeying every movement and command in minutes. Everything he showed me through instruction has stuck and helped me have lots of success with Thunder. I will take any future pups to him and highly recommend him and his training methods. Take your dogs to Flag K9. It’s the best decision you’ll make.
