Bonding for Life Training Testimonials
I used to have a wild dog. She never listened to me. Now she listens, and she is a much calmer and better-behaved animal that I can love unconditionally.
Sandy Santa Monica, CA
I got very lucky and found the best dog trainer, Richard Vye. Before training with him, my dog would not pay attention to me, but now he devoted to me and responds to my every command.
Sheri Santa Monica, CA
When my puppy, Eugene, was four months old, I contacted Richard Vye and he trained Eugene. Actually, he trained me. I was so happy with the results, I decided to become a professional dog trainer. Under Richard's tutelage, I became one, and am very successful. Bonding for Life changed my life.
Dina Bel Air, CA
My dog was a really tough case. Richard Vye gave me the tools I needed to effectively train her.

My dog is a 150-pound Mastiff. He used to eat the couch! After training with Richard Vye, he became the most well behaved dog imaginable.
Nicole Brentwood, CA
I work at Veterinary Center and had my choice of many trainers. Fortunately I chose Richard Vye. My dog is now extremely well behaved, and he has totally lost his aggressive tendencies. The training lessons I learned have proved invaluable.
Jenny Los Angeles, CA
My dog was the orneriest dog in the world. He even used to bite me! His last chance was Richard Vye. His bonding methods made my dog do a one-eighty. He is now loving and loveable, as well as well trained.
Bill Santa Monica, CA
Phenomenal results. Don't know where we would have been without Richard. Our dog became a whole new dog.
Andrew and Tracy Santa Monica, CA
I appreciated Richard Vye's consistency and gentleness and firmness in a proper balance. His lessons worked with both the dog and me. I am a behavioral scientist and I appreciated Richard's considerable expertise in that field.
Michael Santa Monica, CA
Spencer, our Border Collie/Aussi mix, was a terror. Very uncontrollable. He would attack guests, and was very nippy. Walking him was terrible. After our lessons with Richard, we have an obedient, great watchdog.
Jenna Santa Monica
Gracie & George, a lab and a Bernese, took to Richard's training very fast. The Lab was trained before the lessons were over. They are two trained, street-smart dogs. Looking forward to getting another puppy one day for Richard to train.
Kerry Santa Monica
Richard's reliability and perseverance with Ruby with his techniques made her obedient, loving, and affectionate. She's 120 pounds who looks ferocious but is really a baby.
Jim Santa Monica, CA
I'm very impressed with Richard's techniques. I had a big out-of-control dog, and they sure worked for me.
Walter Los Angeles, CA
Richard's creative and original techniques – loving but firm – taught me more than I ever imagined. Our dog, Winston, is well-behaved and devoted to us as we are to him. Thanks, Richard!
Kim Brentwood, CA
Richard was able to get our golden Penny to "listen" and rid her of a terrible habit of jumping on people. She has become an enjoyable family companion.
Kathy Woodland Hills, CA
I am a professional dog walker. I have referred not only my clients, but also my friends to Richard. He is the only dog trainer I refer my clients to. Not only has the feedback been positive, but people have called to tell me how appreciative they are of Richard's training methods, and just how intuitive is with their animals.
Kristal Santa Monica, CA
During our seven-week training course (where Richard trained us as much as our dog) we witnessed a wonderful transformation in Baxter. He went from an obnoxious puppy to a respectable young dog. I know for a fact we could not have done this without Richard's expertise.
Frans and Coco Santa Monica, CA
Richard is keenly devoted to his work, but being a real person, he is also enjoyable to be around. Richard's training was invaluable, and I highly recommend him.
Judy West Hollywood, CA
Richard has trained a total of eight dogs belonging to me. I was not only delighted with the results, but amazed at his ability to train these animals to do things I never would have imagined possible had I not seen it with my own eyes. I even entered two of my dogs in a trick contest, and they won first place.
Lex Malibu, CA
Thank you, Mr. Vye, for not only giving me the necessary skills to train my dog Hannah, but for also teaching my new bride and I how to quickly get her cats to happily coexist with the puppy. We honestly believe you have a gift!"
Nick & J.J. Los Angeles, CA
Richard's name was given to me as I was about to give up. I was at my wits end with a chronically barking dog. This dog was coming between my husband and me. After various trainers, numerous hopes, and lots of money with no results, I called Richard Vye. I don't know what it was… his kindness, his empathy, his understanding and mastery of animal behavior… but my "out of control" little Maltese turned into the most well-behaved, perfect little dog that even my husband ended up loving.
Fran Beverly Hills, CA
I interviewed approximately 25 trainers or facilities before I hired Mr. Vye based on his training style and experience. His style was obedience based on simple leadership, bonding, and companionship, plus building trust with the dog and learning dog communication. I have observed Mr. Vye interacting with other dogs and their owners, and have been impressed as to his instructive clarity and compassion.
Michael Santa Monica, CA
Our dog was really aggressive. He used to bite people even before he was six months old. Richard worked with him and us, and now we have the very best dog. He is so loyal. Richard is highly recommended. When people see our dog, they say, "I want a dog just like that."
Susan Santa Monica, CA
Richard Vye trained our young shepherd with great professionalism, knowledge and integrity. We couldn't be more pleased with the results.
Sherman Santa Monica, CA
Anyone can train a dog to sit or stay. Richard Vye transforms your dog into a well-behaved companion for life.
Greg and Shana Topanga, CA
My two dogs were wild beyond belief. They fought with each other all the time. My experience with Richard was great. He helped me to get control of them. They came to see me as the master. Richard was a real lifesaver.
Cindy Sylmar, CA
 Richard Vye's step-by-step exercises made an immediate change in my dog Mabel's behavior. Years later I still employ his techniques, and she still loves to perform the tricks Richard taught her to make her feel good about herself...instead of always just being told "no" or that she was "bad!"
Meg Los Angeles, CA
Richard Vye becomes one with your dog. The results are immediate, the training fun. I would highly recommend Richard to train your dog. Watching him train is like watching a fish swim. Your dog will love him and you will learn how to teach your dog to be a well-behaved happy part of your family.
Ron Encino, CA
Richard is an extremely knowledgeable trainer who will improve your relationship with your dog. Richard not only trained my dog, Roxy, but he trained me too. Roxy and I enjoyed the time we spent with Richard and found his techniques effective. Roxy sends a high ten to Richard – Woof, Woof!
Sheryl and Roxy Los Angeles, CA
Max is a big strong dominant dog. He used to walk me. Now I walk him. Before training with Richard, he didn't listen to me. He wouldn't even come to me when I called him. Now he does. I can take him anywhere with confidence.
Julie Santa Monica, CA
Richard has a profound understanding of both human and canine psychology, which works like magic in the training of a dog. More than he trained our puppy, he trained us how to be clear and consistent and in command. Our dog loves knowing we have the upper hand, are in control of the situation, know the rules and insist on his abiding by them. Within weeks he was visibly more relaxed at all times, and even now, six or seven months later, he is comforted by the rules he knows and the few small tricks he can perform. Richard makes it a delightful experience all around.
Susan Los Angeles, CA
Richard Vye is remarkable in establishing an immediate, special relationship with a dog. He clearly loves dogs and they respond accordingly with obedience and the kind of behavior their owner's desire. One could call him a wonder worker -- we do.
Shirley and Orrin Los Angeles, CA
Brandy came from a bad home. She was afraid of everybody including me. By Richard's methods, boy did she bond to me! She is a great pet and the greatest companion.
Dick Malibu, CA
Richard Vye, M.A, transformed my unruly freshman Irish Setter, into a well behaved graduate student in a few short weeks. The owner and dog are trained together, which provides for a fun and informative experience which gets results.
Peter Santa Monica, CA
Don't get rid of your dog before you see Richard. We had a big crazy lab who became a terrific pet because of Richard Vye's training.
Dick Bell Air, CA
A superb and award winning trainer of dogs, Richard Vye is also a psychologist who understands both the pets and their owners. He sees the relationship between them immediately and succeeds wonderfully in educating both. After just a few lessons, he had established between us and our dog, Miko, a loving and enduring association.
Max and Estelle Beverly Hills, CA
Richard Vye is not only a great dog trainer, but also a great people trainer. He has an uncanny ability to communicate with both. Thanks to Richard, our family dog is a well-mannered, well-trained, and happy member of our family.
Steve and Kathie Santa Monica, CA
Thanks to Richard's training, my big tough aggressive dog went from a terror to a sweetheart.
Doug Westlake, CA
Our dog was a rescue with a lot of bad habits. For us, training with Richard was a great experience because it addressed the behavior issues we needed to work on, and our dog seems so much happier to be in our family.
