I’m continually impressed with your results. Trainers, no matter how good they think they are, have to be impressed with what you’ve accomplished. They’ll continue to bitch – but bottom line – they all want to know how you do … Continue reading →

Dear Lianne, Ashton, and Fred, I wanted to thank you all again for the awesome weekend seminar. Before the seminar I was frustrated with Jael’s dog aggressive behaviour and tried many different methods to help me. It was incredible to … Continue reading →

Fred, I just wanted to thank you for all your help and knowledge this past weekend. Cody has made an unbelievable turn around, but not as much as Cindy and I. We’re training everyday all the time. I am really enjoying this … Continue reading →

Dear Fred and Carla, I cannot begin to thank you for the wonderful 2-day seminar you gave in Chicago this past weekend.  Having never attended a dog training seminar, I had no idea what to expect.  All I can say … Continue reading →

Just finished another spectacular Fred Hassen seminar. I don’t even know where to start! Basically, we learned how to use the remote for every aspect of dog sport. Fred took a single exercise and turned it into an AKC, Ring, … Continue reading →

When we first got Aristotle into Rescue, we needed Hulk Hogan to stop him, even with a pinch collar. He’s a muscular, macho 70 pounder at least, and hasn’t had a lot of socializing and is hardly a model citizen. … Continue reading →

For four years I’ve researched the e-collar and went back and forth thinking it was an instrument of torture. And here Fred took a fear-submissive dog (my Orion), who is a big baby, and never even got a yelp out … Continue reading →

I have spent time with Fred on three different occasions. First time I was constantly saying "that won’t work". Second time I said "How did you do that?". Third time was "Turn me loose, I can do this." I’m constantly … Continue reading →

When I posted here last month about e-collars and found out Fred would be conducting a seminar here in Chicago, the resulting onslaught of a few e-collar opponents was a bit deafening. I have always been a bit skeptical of … Continue reading →

I am a police dog trainer/handler in NJ … I just attended a 3 day e-collar seminar this past weekend with Fred Hassen and George Cockrell. I must say these two guys were most amazing with their insight to dogs … Continue reading →

Let me brag for one of my students…. It took awhile to cajole a shy student into showing her shy dog but… Mary Masterson took Bebe, her eight-year old Lab-Shepherd mix to some UKC obedience competitions and took 3 first … Continue reading →

The e-collar training surpassed my expectations, now that I am educated on the tremendous tool the e-collar is in the hands of someone who has been training properly. Already, this morning brings proof in amazing ways. The early morning walk … Continue reading →

I attended your North Carolina seminar in December. I was the very reluctant woman working the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Chester. First of all, I’d like to thank you. I am now a huge fan of yours. I really appreciate the … Continue reading →
