A Tribute to one of dog training's very best - Richard Heinz "The Miami Dog Whisperer"

And he's a one-up. He's not a one in a million. He's a one in the entire earth of a kind dog trainer. He's the absolute best there is. I've searched online everywhere. There's nobody that compares to Richard Hines. I don't care if they're out west in Chicago. And he gets called from all over the all over the United States and all over the world. We looked at some of his videos and oh my god we were amazed. I've never seen a man do these type of things. Obedience. The quickness. Sit. Down. Sit. Finish. Sit. Finish. Down. Sit. Sit. Down. Down. Please sit. Back. Down. Please come. Sit. Please back. Down. Please come. Sit. Down. We want to just let everyone know that Richard Hines is the best trainer. His psychology and understanding of dogs is a phenomenal gift if you will. I've seen many trainers. I've seen many videos and stuff online. Not that I've watched him and understanding the psychology that he's taught me at this level. I see these other trainers who claim to be master trainers really are embarrassing. He definitely has a gift that is not something you can pull from a book. You can't get this stuff from a book. This is something that it's just a gift that he has. He has that eye. He has that way of thinking that allows him to really work with any case. I mean I challenge anybody to bring a dog to Richard that he can't fix. He's going to get it done. You let him do what he needs to do. It's going to happen. I think that's just incredible. All right. Go right there. Keep tapping. Nice. Try to relax when he sits. See he just looked you in the corner of his eye. He was like, dad, good job. Is the mic still moving? Is the bar still? Okay, there we go. All right, this is the first time we've had him off a muzzle since we started working with him. Call him one. Wow. Being pet without the muzzle. Is that crazy? No, no, no. He's good. He's good. Yeah, he's relaxed. Right. Awesome. Niccolo being pet for the first time without a muzzle. The owners are sweating. I can feel the heat in this house. I can feel the temperature from the panic. The owner's opening the window just in case she has to jump out. So, you're gonna tell your mom, Fiorella? Oh, yes. Like, yeah, right. What'd they do to him? And the fact that he lets Juan walk all around him. Yeah. I mean, walk all around him like that. Yeah. I mean, before, man, you walk into that zone there, he would have flipped out. And he's like, I'm pet him. He's hanging with him. He's licking the face, man. He's licking him. Do it again, Juan. Stick your head in the lion's mouth. Really, it's okay. All right. And those moves, man. Oh, he would have... Previously, you would have been eaten, man. Insane. Well, no, I know Fiorella's panicking more. I know mommy's panicking more than... Michelob's like, I'm good, mom. I'm good. I got it. Well, Juan kept saying, with this case, he's just waiting to see Michelob without a muzzle, and be pet. Oh, hold on. Wait a minute. Do that again. I'm trying to get a close-up. Oh my God, that is crazy. Richard has taught me to recognize what's going to happen before it happens and correct it immediately, and that's why his techniques work so fast. His technique is far better than anything I've ever seen. Nothing compares to what he knows. Just never seen anything like it. I love the method that I've learned from Richard Hines. It has proven itself. There's no one that I trusted more than Richard, and I highly recommend him. He knows what he's doing. I chose him out of everyone in the world. And to see what he's able to achieve just with what he was able to teach himself, it's just completely... It's incredible. It's crazy. And to see him work, too, it's nuts. I watch so many trainers on YouTube, and there's always something about Richard, and that's why I knew I had to study with him. It's an art form. Dog training is an art, and Richard opened my eyes to that. He was like, dog training is an art form, and each dog that he trains, you can pluck that dog out of a lineup. If you have 10 German Shepherds trained by 10 different trainers, I will be able to pluck out which one is trained by Richard Hines by the way that dog moves. Because the way that Richard trains transfers over to the dog, and their movements, and their motions, and it just has a certain finesse. It has a certain energy to it. It has a certain look. Just like you can tell a Picasso painting from a Monet painting, or I can recognize Carl Santana's tone, and Jimi Hendrix's guitar tone. They have such a personal touch to their art form that you can recognize it when you see it, or you hear it. That's very much how it is with Richard's work, and his method of dog training. It just has a certain touch, a certain finesse, a certain feel that if you put them up in the lineup, and have those dogs perform all those tricks, or all those movements, or whatever you need them to do, you will be able to pick out which dog is Richard's. I think that speaks volumes about his approach. He's not somebody that copied somebody else. He is his own thing. He is his own entity, his own persona, and he's a one-off. He's not a one in a million. He's a one in the entire earth of a kind dog trainer. I feel blessed and very lucky to be able to say that I studied with him. I was so impressed with Richard. He's not just a trainer. He is a psychologist on top of it. He does read the dog, and he not only trains the dog, he trains the people, which is generally where the problem comes in, is through the people. And now, actually, since I've studied with Richard, I can't watch other trainers' videos anymore. I can't do it. I tried, and now, since I know what I know, my level of critique is even higher because of now, of all the knowledge that he's given me, that I'm like, yeah, there's no need to do that, or that a lot of that doesn't make sense. Whereas before, before I studied with him, I took a lot more. I was like a blank slate, and I was just taking everything I could learn, even though I was kind of picky of what I was retaining from them. But after studying with Richard, I honestly don't watch dog training videos. I don't read dog training books. I know a lot of trainers will get other trainers' books and stuff like that. Unless Richard's releasing a new book or releasing a new DVD series, even if it is on stuff that he's already taught me, I'm gonna buy it because I can always use a refresher. Richard, best trainer in the universe. We love you. Thanks for everything you've given us, taught us, and showed us. You're the best. Number one, Richard, Miami Dog Whisperer. Good boy! In regards to what he can teach you, anything. The guy can teach you anything. If you want to specialize in just obedience stuff, he'll take you light years, light years ahead of where you'll get yourself if you go anywhere else. And he thinks Richard thinks outside of the box, which is, we did some stuff to train a couple of things that wasn't crazy, and it worked, and it was super simple, but I would have never thought about it. It wouldn't have occurred to me like, oh, you know, if you just do this couple of things, we'll usually leash here, and we'll do a box here, and this. We can teach the dogs like flip around, walk backwards, and go between your legs. And I was like, what? And then lo and behold, a few days in, my pit bull is spinning around in front of me and walking backwards and reversing between my legs. Back. Spin. First. Yes. Back. Back. Spin. First. And, you know, it took some, like, finesse, and it took some, you know, some out-of-the-box thinking, but she learned it, and it was super cool. So that's, again, something that I carry with myself to this day. Without a doubt, Richard is the best out of anybody you can study with. Out of anybody in the U.S., anybody in the world you can study with, Richard is the guy that you will pull so much from that you won't get from a franchise's two- to three-week program. There's dog academies out there that you could go study for for two to four months. I mean, not two to four months, two to four years, and you still won't get anywhere near the amount of knowledge that you will get studying with Richard for three months. Heck, you could study with Richard for two weeks and still pull more than you would pull from a place like that for a year. Richard Hines is definitely the dog whisperer. There's no doubt. So...
