Julie and "Ziggy", Rocklin, CA

At 100 lbs, Ziggy is a brute of a male German Shepherd who had been taught no manners by the time Julie adopted him at two years of age. When we met Julie, she was pretty much being dragged down the street on walks, despite having previously solicited the services of two other trainers. If you think a walk was difficult to manage, imagine how tough it was for Julie to control such a large powerhouse when he spotted another dog or cat! After three sessions with us, Ziggy heels beautifully, even when another dog comes by. During our third session, we brought along a female German Shepherd to engage Ziggy with play. Off leash, in the middle of their play, we had Julie call Ziggy to come. Imagine Julie's elated surprise when Ziggy immediately stopped playing and came right away! Says Julie, "Thanks for all your guidance and working with Ziggy!" You're very welcome, Julie, but you did all the work... just keep it up! Julie now also has a kitten living in the house with Ziggy.

Deb and "Shasta", Cameron Park, CA

Shasta is a one year old female German Shepherd who appeared to have no training whatsoever before Deb adopted her. Shasta was always mindful of Deb, but when another dog came into the vicinity, Shasta would get so excited she would be completely out of control. After one session with us, Deb told us of her experience with Shasta the very next day, "Three dogs right by her and one sitting next to her WITH NO REACTION...wow!!!!" Keep up the good work, Deb!

Rob and "Kona", Rocklin, CA

Kona is everything you would expect from an adorable, yet excitable, 5 month old female Chocolate Lab puppy. Only 6 days after our first session, Rob reports that Kona comes when called "really well", and "with a lot of enthusiasm". We can tell Rob is using our techniques with Kona, because all too often the wrong methods are used to train dogs to come, and although they do come, instead of coming enthusiastically as Rob reports of Kona, they come with their heads down, which is a very sad thing to see. So, kudos to you, Rob, for putting our techniques to work! Rob also reports that the techniques we've taught him to curb Kona's puppy mouthing are working well. He says Kona "Heels awesome", and that Kona also knows to come and sit in a Heel position when called, as well. Says Rob, "I am really happy with the way Kona is responding! Feel free to quote me." Thanks, Rob, don't mind if we do. :-)

Cindy and "Monroe", Cameron Park, CA

Monroe is an 18 month old male German Shepherd that Cindy acquired from a rescue organization. Monroe seemed calm and well-mannered while in foster care, but after Cindy adopted him and brought him home, Monroe's true nature of an unruly, disrespectful, and dominant dog began to reveal itself. The common problems of tugging an owner down the street during walks and not coming when called paled in comparison to Monroe's urination marking inside the home, demand barking, forcing himself upon people whenever he wanted, and utter disrespect for Cindy and her family. 

After only two sessions with us, Cindy says she's very pleased with the results she's seen. Not only has Monroe learned basic obedience, including heeling nicely on walks, Monroe has stopped his urination marking in the home. Cindy says, "Every single thing you've taught me to do actually works! You really do know how to train dogs!" Cindy, we actually train YOU to train your dog, and you're doing a fantastic job! ;-)

Callie and "Max", El Dorado Hills, CA

Max is a 1 yr. old male German Shepherd that Callie saw was developing into a powerhouse that she wasn't easily able to handle, especially when out for walks during which they encountered other dogs out for walks.

During our first visit, not only did we have Max walking nicely in a Heel position with Callie, Callie was able to walk Max right up to female German Shepherd, who neither Callie or Max had never met before, without any fuss from Max. Not only did Max behave like the perfect gentleman, Max performed his Sit and Down commands inches away from the other dog without even looking at her. Can you imagine a German Shepherd that's not neutered paying more attention to its owner than a female German Shepherd mere inches away?

Mindy and "Sid Vicious", Placerville, CA

Mindy's 6 month old male pitbull mix was uncontrollable at the door when she, or anyone else, came into the house. He also tugged her all over the place whenever she tried taking him for a walk. In fact, walks had become far and few between because of her dog's unruly behavior.

During our first onsite visit to her home, Mindy was able to go for a walk with her dog in the heel position the very first time she employed our techniques. Mindy later said that within a week of our visit, her dog also no longer goes beserk at the door. Bravo, Mindy!

Glenda, Don and "Brandy", Newcastle, CA

Glen and Don's 5 month old female German Shepherd had numerous behavior problems developing quite quickly. Some of the problems included blocking doorways when they tried to leave or enter the house, running amok in the backyard like a terror, unwieldly behavior on a leash that prevented them from taking her for walks, etc.

After a single visit, Don reported that Brandy "is 70% better than she was" before our visit.

Brenda and "Snoop", Granite Bay, CA

Snoop is a 3 yr. old male German Shorthaired Pointer that Brenda devoted much of her time developing into a wonderfully behaved dog. She previously spent a lot of money with a different training, but she did not get the results she desired.

A week after her first training session with us, Brenda said, "I'm very pleased at how much time you devote to spending with me as a dog owner. For me, that has made all the difference in what I'm now getting from training. I've never gotten a follow-up phone call from a trainer before, either, and I really appreciate you following up with me to see how I'm doing, and for the tips you offered during the follow-up call."

Jeana and "Bodacious", Placerville, CA

Jeana had never been able to get 2 yr. old male Sharpei/Lab mix Bodacious to walk nicely on a leash, and understandably did not get to enjoy walks with her buddy. Bodacious also fed off the frenzy of another dog in her household when someone would come over to the house.

Imagine the thrill for Jeana to experience for the first time in two years having her dog walking in a heel position just minutes into our first visit. Two weeks after our first visit, Jeana told us that she easily had her dog go to his special place when people come through the door.

"The Doggie Bag", Granite Bay, CA

After seeing one of our dogs just once, The Doggie Bag owner Sherrie and sister Melisse decided to start referring our services to their customers. Melisse reported that the very first customer of theirs who opted to use our training services later shared that they "loved us", and praised the fact that we provide alot of helpful information during training.

Melisse and Sherrie continue to put the fine reputation of their pet boutique on the line every time they refer their customers to us. To us, that's quite a compliment! Thank you, Sherrie and Melisse!

Feel free to ask to see our 8 month old German Shepherd puppy who will Come, Sit, Stay, Heel, etc. off-leash, anywhere, including at a dog park with other dogs running around like maniacs!
