Client Testimonials
"Here is my heart felt thank you along with tons of gratitude to Dan Rossignol of Ausdaur Dog Training! I called Dan when I was at the end of all hope with my German Shepherd dog, Maggie.
Maggie is a smart, high energy Shepherd with a love for adventure and a passion for Agility Training. However, Maggie’s prey drive could match a hungry tigers’ and it was her prey drive that led her to the dangerous habit of chasing cars. No matter what I did, I could not break her of this habit. Our daily walks turned into a nightmare of lunging, barking, and out of control moves that eventually would have gotten me hurt and Maggie killed.
I never dealt with this dangerous habit with any of my Shepherds before and I knew I needed professional help, so I decided to give Dan a call. Within the first 20 minutes, Dan had Maggie obediently heeling by his side. Within 60 minutes Maggie was heeling with Dan while cars, trucks and busses whizzed by. The first time Maggie walked calmly by Dan’s side as a car rushed by, I couldn’t help but smile and shake my head in disbelief. I was elated as I watched Dan school my dog and assure her with caresses and kind words when she behaved.
Due to the dangerous nature of Maggie’s behavior, Dan and I met one more time to be sure of Maggie and my safety. Seeing that Maggie primarily walks country roads, we wanted to observe her on city streets. So, we took Maggie into Saratoga for a stroll down Broadway. Maggie was super. I was so proud to be walking my girl on a loose leash, on heel and NOT CHASING CARS. I was ecstatic!
Dan loves dogs and he commented to me that his goal as a Canine Consultant is to make people enjoy their dogs to the fullest. I’m here to say that Maggie and I are a result of Dan’s goals. Our walks are now relaxing and refreshing instead of an exercise in hypertension. My friends have witnessed the change in Maggie’s behavior and are amazed at the results.
"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole" - Roger Caras
I believe in the above saying and we should never give up on our dogs because they develop a glitch in their behavior. As long as we have trainers like Dan, there is no reason our lives can’t be complete with our dogs".

"If we didn't see it with our own eyes we would not believe it. Within about 90 minutes, our dog Beau went from almost uncontrollable to a very calm trainable pet, thanks to Dan Rossignol." - Harry & Gail
"Dan's understanding, patience and gentleness have trained my two Dobermanns to become well-disciplined animals. Thank you Dan!" - A. Bowers
"Bandit is a changed dog. After one session with you, he has calmed down, sleeps more, barks much less, and cooperates fully." - Susan
"It has been about a year and a half, and we haven't had any ugly incidents with our two rotties (Alex and Taji). Dan, your methods helped us tremendously. We thank you very much." - Alice & Frank
"We were first time dog owners when we brought Zoe, a German Shepard mix, home from the Humane Society. After a week of nipping at my wife and ripping at her clothes, we began to think we might have to send her back. Little did we know then that your visit to our home would completely change our lives as it did. Your instructions in that one lesson showed us how we could work with Zoe to become what she is now, the best dog there is! Dan, we can never thank you enough for all you have done for us." - Raja & Gail
"Thank you so much for helping Blue to 'mature' overnight!He is so much better behaved.The mailman, neighbors, and people that come to the door can hardly believe it’s the same dog!He’s been such a pleasure.It feels great to be enjoying him as we should be able to, rather than being annoyed by him throughout the day.We will definitely be passing the word about you and how you can help people/families with 'difficult' dogs!Thanks again!This is my favorite picture of Blue.I hope you enjoy it!"
Sincerely,Linda and Pat Peluso
"I can't say enough about Dan Rossignol, and his training of dogs! He has a wonderful gift the way he communicates with them." - Gail
"I was a bit skeptical of what Dan Rossignol does, so I went with him to watch him work with a few dogs. When we arrived at the homes the dog were out of control and dangerous, but after just 90 minutes in each home the dogs became well trained animals. I've personally seen what Dan has done for other dog owners, and I know he can work for you and your dog too." - Dan Miner, 98.5 WCKM Radio
"My wife and I have a 2 year old Stafford shire Terrier named Drai who had very poor heeling habits.Before we met Dan we had just about lost all hope that he would be a normal dog.It had actually gotten to the point where we were trying to use our older dog as a trainer, but that failed as well. Within the first 15 minutes of our 90 minute session with Ausdauer Dog Training, Dan had Drai heeling on the leash.We couldn’t believe our eyes. We were amazed.
Dan then had me take Drai outside, and he taught me how to talk & walk with him. It was like I had a new dog.My wife, who couldn’t control Drai on the leash, took him out and couldn’t believe the results.
Dan also gave us some pointers on how to keep Drai from jumping on people and how to better his social skills.It is an ongoing process, we work with Drai everyday, but he is making great strides with his overall training and we owe it all to Dan.He truly is amazing!"
With great appreciation,

"Dan, I can not thank you enough for giving me my puppy back. She is such a joy. We are working very well together. I have controlled the biting and we have taken several walks together. We even have our play time together without the crazy uncontrolled running. I have even gotten Buttons to stop the chewing on my shoe laces. To say you have a God given gift is not enough, but, it is so true. I learned a lot from you and enjoyed working with you. I can't say thank you enough. Buttons and I and Mom thank you as we are enjoying being together again."
