    Kodiak has had lots of good training today...the well replacement people are here! What a morning, but he has calmed pretty quickly. Definitely has a ways to go, but it’s good to see a little progress everyday!
    Thanks again,
    Marti

    That is great to hear Marti - Greeting people at the dog was a big issue for you. Calm is Good!

    Thank you
    I own a feline but since your introduction with the canine, i have a new appreciation and understanding.
    There was a noticeable difference with king but he has charm that he used to the fullest when he wanted ice cream..
    Looking forward to our next session.

    King is a Cutie for sure! But he will appreciate the new structure you are giving him.
    See you soon! Sheri

    I am so GLAD to write a review! It has been a completely different atmosphere in the house already. Seriously, the craziest thing ever. Charlie is responding extremely well to the barking correction! And it has been so nice to actually invite Dixie to sit by me on the couch and not have to be aggravated by her behavior. She is SO much calmer and relaxed! Thank you so much and I will keep you posted.

    Nia is responding well to the training. We are pleased with her progress. She is no longer mouthing us or chewing on my clothes. She will stay on her bed for over a minute. She is responding to free. She no longer barks in the morning before being released from her crate. She will walk beside appropriately after just a few turn around. All in all, she is responding well. Sarah

    Photo of Winston Sheri,
    Thank you for coming out and giving us your help with Winston. We are excited that this new training will really help us. We couldn’t believe how quickly he responded. We have already had a few successes this morning. It is hard with the other dog visiting, but we are trying to sneak in some practice when the other dog is on his walk. Otherwise there are a lot of distractions. I’m sure we will have questions soon.
    Hope you have a nice Holiday.
    Thanks again, Sue and Dan

    Photo of Dobby We had a scary accident that prompted our need to call Sheri. We are happy with all the good changes in our dog's behavior.

    I am glad you called me Trea. Dobby is a good dog, he just needed to feel safe; now you know how to do that!

    Training is going great! We have received SO MANY compliments on his behavior change, including high praises from his vet! We feel like we already have a new dog!

    With his behavior changing so drastically, we totally forgot to train the walking exercises, so we’ve started that. He’s been down and out for about a week with “growing pains”. ?

    We will continue to work on the walking and distance tolerance.
    We should have sent an update sooner than today) and we hope you have a great weekend!!

    WOW - so glad to hear that! I am glad you decided to go with Bark Busters; he certainly is not a 'vicious' dog and easily trainable as you can see.

    Photo of Nicco Nicco is working on not becoming agitated when he sees people and dogs outside the house. The WaggWalker has been extremely helpful. I am once again able to take him for walks as he no longer pulls me and I am able to control him. I am now walking him instead of Nicco walking me and I am making the decisions on where we go.

    Hi Michelle - Thanks so much for letting others know how the #waggwalker can help them walk their dog using communication not pain. Nicco was fun to work with - those long legs! He looks handsome with his GameChanger

    Photo of Mielle I can't believe how much better my puppy is after just one session with Sheri! She is so kind, realistic with expectations of training (and following through) with practicing with my puppy. I am glad I found Sheri, I just wish I would have found her sooner. She is so knowledgeable and great to work with!
