Testimonial
Hartley was a typical puppy before we started classes. He jumped up on people, nibbled on hands, feet, and pretty much anything that fit into his mouth. You could tell he was smart but was not yet good at responding to commands.
After taking him to his first class, I noticed a difference in his behavior immediately. He was responding to me and commands with a 90 percent success rate, and our training experience became much more FUN.
The positive reinforcement not only benefited him but made me feel good too. Saying “yes” to all his wanted behaviours instead of saying “no” to his unwanted behaviours was so refreshing and uplifting. I was proud, he was happy, and I feel it helped build a healthy, loving bond between us.
I learned so much, but I think what stands out to me is learning how to read my dog and noticing what things are his stressors and what things are his motivators. I also learned that the quality of my treats matter and varying my treats is the best way to keep him interested.
I also liked winning the poker rounds at the end of class (wink, wink); it was a fun incentive to do your homework.
Most of all, I loved how organized Heather was for every class. Everything practiced in class was laid out step by step on a chart for us to refer back to in our training at home. If we missed a class or forgot what to do, Heather provided videos of each layer of the training. I used the training cheat sheets and videos frequently!
Heather went above, and beyond any trainer I have worked with, and her training techniques work. Thank you, Heather, for making our training a success! Hartley is a better dog because of the training, and I am surviving puppyhood and adolescents with more ease!
