Dear Glenn;
I just want you to know how very much we appreciate the miracles you have wrought with Mona. As you know she is a rescue dog who roamed the streets in Riverside. The lady that ran the rescue service told us she didn't like other dogs and we found out immediately that she was terrified of being on a lead. She had had no training so she was a clean slate. One of my bridge partners told us about you so we thought it was certainly worth a try.

You can imagine our delight with the wonders you have brought about.
I told you I didn't want her spirit broken. Well, you never even raise your voice to her but somehow magically she does what you want her to do.
She gets along well with other dogs so we don't have that worry and she walks on a lead, she comes when we call and has turned into a pleasure to have around. She has certainly found her place in our home.
I told you I didn't want a highly trained dog. I wanted her to retain her own personality but to be gentle and a good friend. And that is exactly what happened and for that we all thank you. Especially Mona.

If anyone would like to talk with us, feel free to give them our number.

Thank you Glenn.

Bev Williams

Glenn has been a savior for Sky.  In fact, I think Sky looks more forward to seeing Glenn than he does me.  When my husband and I had rescued Sky, he was a little over 4 years old and out of control on walks.  I felt like Linus being pulled by Snoopy.  I had used the services of 1 trainer for a few sessions shortly after getting Sky (required by the rescue society), with minimal improvement, as I still had to use a "gentle leader" to stop Sky from pulling on leash.  I was told by that trainer, several dog owners and 1 vet (who Sky no longer see's) that I would never get Sky off of that contraption.  To boot, Sky developed an ear infection which necessitated ear drops.  Holding a tall Golden Retriever's head to put in the ear drops is next to impossible when you're under 5 feet tall.  Luckily, at that time, Glenn was recommended to us as a trainer.

Without raising his voice, just by gently touching Sky and talking to him, Glenn turned to me and asked, "How many drops does he need in the ear?"  Glenn had me practice the technique.  Given that I now have to flush his ears twice a week, I probably would have wound up in a body cast if it weren't for Glenn.  And, as for that "gentle leader", Glenn had time to take Sky out for a quick little outing.  When the doorbell rang, I saw Sky sitting very calmly in front of our gate without the "gentle leader" on .  I opened the door, and Glenn told him to go in.  Sky obeyed.  Glenn handed me the "gentle leader" and said I would never have to use that again.  Glenn was right - Sky has never used it since. 
Glenn is also one of the most reliable people I know. If he's going to be late, he calls. I honestly don't know what we'd do without his services or his friendship.  He's one of the most trustworthy people I know. 
He is truly wonderful, unique, patient, kind, giving, respectful - I could go on and on.  If more people were like Glenn, the world would be a better place.

Pet/House Sitting

            We are so thankful to have found Glenn!

My husband and I have 3 kids and 2 bulldogs named Stanley and Walter- both are still pups. We have not been able to go on a family vacation for more than 3 days at a time because we don’t trust anyone to take care of our dogs. For those of you who have bulldogs, you know they are very set in their routines, try and eat everything and do not like being out of their ordinary surroundings.
A friend suggested I meet Glenn- and in the first seconds, he immediately was on the ground wrestling & playing with Stanley and Walter. We decided to go to Hawaii for 8 nights and Glenn agreed to house sit.
Unfortunately- when we were gone, Walter became very ill and it is because of Glenn’s incredible judgement- Walter is alive today. Glenn noticed something wasn’t right, without hesitation got into his car headed to sf- waiting outside our vet’s hospital at 7:30 am. He called the doctor and explained the symptoms, but more importantly said- “we are right outside!” wasting no time.

 Our Vet said that it is truly because of Glenn that our dog is still with us.

Glenn is so great with “the boys” as he calls them- he sends me photo’s and texts me with updates throughout the day- I feel secure they are being loved and having a fun time. The last time Glenn took the dogs for the day,  our family was scheduled to come home around 10pm- we opened the door and their was soft classical music playing on the tv – Stanley and Walter sitting on the couch- looking especially relaxed!
We love and trust Glenn!
