We were extremely impressed by Michelle and her advice which almost immediately helped us with Timmie. After the first lesson we started implementing Michelle's suggestions and saw the results! Timmie has become a much more confident and less skittish and fearful rescue pup. He no longer barks incessantly when the doorbell rings and visitors enter. He is attentive on walks and doesn't pull anymore. Thank you very much to Michelle!

As a first time dog owner, I wasn't sure what to think when my dog
Doodles was panicking when I left her alone. She was suffering from
separation anxiety and I wasn't sure how to help her. Howard and
Marlene taught me how to help alleviate Doodles anxiety. She went
from scratching at the door and breaking out of her crate, to being
calm and content when left alone. In a matter of weeks there was a
significant difference in my dog's behavior. Howard and Marlene also
helped refine a few other skills, including leash walking, coming when
called, and how to greet others. I would recommend Howard and Marlene
to any dog owner. Thanks for all your help!

my dogs were unused to walking on a leash and being around other dogs when I moved here from out of the state. Karen was great with them and me and I would be happy to recommend her and her methods to anyone who cares about dogs and cares about having them behave in public.

Cesar was out of control. He would not pay attention when I gave him a command. He would jump on people when they came to visit. Connie helped me with the control of his barking and jumping in a simple, but clear way. It worked like a charm. Cesar's behavior is much improved.

Very thorough and educational. Pisgah was not really listening to us before training. By the end of our session she was coming to us and listening when called. After we were trained in about 30 min she was coming when called. We couldn't be happier.

I think the stricter routine gave my two dogs confidence that we would protect the one from the other, if necessary. The dog that was toughest to train is scared of the snap device. We don't need to use it often because it is so effective.

Mary is very good at not only explaining techniques, but actually shows us and works with us and our dogs. We were pleasantly surprised after the first day to see results! We have 2 different temperament dogs so training is a bit different in terms of how we deal with them. Our dogs are very high energy so we work daily with them to reinforce what we have learned so far.

I would reduce the flip chart session; I had already read up on the program on line.

Trainer note from Sonja :
Agreed, our flip chart has a lot of pages, however, many people do not go on line to read up on our program. Many times owners yawn half way through the chart because there is so much useful information and they are getting information overload. But its all good once we start training and all the explanations from the flip chart are used during training sessions.
