“The tips you gave me worked like a charm”

Margaret T.
9/26/19

The tips you gave me worked like a charm. Chase is actually a Labradoodle. 4 months, extremely intelligent, born and raised in a barn until I got him. He only had one accident in the house and was completely housebroken in 2 days. His buddy is a Maltese he loves to hump, and Charlie snaps at him every time and growls. I was told it's a status thing on who's dominant. Your tips worked great. Thank you so very much.

“Your approaches have helped me with King already.”

Michelle N.
7/11/19

I would first like to thank you for the emails. I greatly appreciate them! Your approaches have helped me with King already. When he's jumping and I simply ignore his behavior, as you said, he stops within a very short amount of time. Also, praising him with just simply saying good has worked great. I'm not sure if that has worked or made a difference for anyone else but it truly did for me. Thank you for free tips and advice. I'd not be fortunate enough to have something like this otherwise.

We've loved learning the unique traits about our Siberian Husky Mr.Koda. He's still young but is learning fast now and he realizes we are his stable loving home. You see I adopted Koda from the shelter and koda has been in 3 different homes before me and so we can tell her been hit on. (Not okay!) And so teaching him through your simple one worded commands does seem to work and we've seen progress in our beautiful boy! He follows us out the door now rather than taking him on the lead! And he's even staying next to me or my significant other outdoors without a leash! So thank you so much for your tips and tricks to help us better understand kodas nature :)

I enjoyed my talk with Sally and realized that lots of things we are struggling with are simply puppy issues and will get better, but I now have strategies for working with them to make them better sooner.

Reason I chose this business:

Jumping on us, nipping

I love the training program that Nancy Richards has TrainPetDog. Not only do I get daily tips for training my dog, but they are tailored to my dog's specific breed. This is not your average "one size fits all" training program! The suggested training tips work REALLY well and if used consistently you see REAL results- VERY quickly! Because of this program my family and I are enjoying our time with our puppy instead of feeling like we are constantly reprimanding him for being in mischief. Thank you!
I would highly recommend this program to anyone who has a Terrier.

Oh, my goodness, I am so glad Sally called me more than once and we got to talk. What she said about my dog losing her socialization to people in costumes for an 1840s re-enactment makes so much sense because she hasn't been around them for over 2 years! Thanks Sally for your assistance. Coco is doing fine. She did however sneak one treat... didn't get the great treat though. The next time she wouldn't touch the treat. Yeah!

Reason I chose this business:

My dog was acting aggressively toward people in costumes when we went to re-enactments and Sally helped me learn how to teach her "leave it" and work on re-socialization. I am so relieved and grateful and hopeful.

Reason I chose this product:

Yes, yes, yes. You must sign up and plan to talk to a trainer. They are tremendous!

Yes Ive used a few of your tips and am finding them quite helpful. You're right the best way is to ignore the bad behaviors and then he returns on his own egar to please. I also find this helpful bc scolding seems to have the total opposite affect where he seems to just misbehave more. I'm not a scolder anyways so ignoring feels better for me too! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for offering this perfect training and pet advice. Easy to follow tutorials and lots of information about my dog. This is truly excellent training advice that can be used again and again and used as a reference guide when you need a refresher!

I think it's pretty terrible that this company does not give the person The Choice of paying either $37 for online access or $37 for the hard copy book. You lock us in to the on line subscription without giving us a choice I think that's terrible.

Reason I chose this product:

Because you mention specific issues for pomeranian's. I've had 3 pomeranians in my life and they are challenging so I am curious to see if your publication will cover the issues I previously experienced.

Very helpful. I had not thought about giving my puppy naps in her crate. I have never crate trained and needed lots of ideas and help. I feel better about what I'm doing with feeding her and potty training her.

Reason I chose this business:

Potty training and crate training

I did not realize this program would be reading. It was presented as though it would be video. The question, if we wanted the book as well, prompted that to be misleading. I have tried to read thorough some of it and, in no way, want to sit at my computer reading all of this. Many of the things I skipped over, as it appeared they were tips for show dogs. It's just a lot of fluff. I would not recommend!
Then I went to request a full refund on their site. I tried several times to follow the procedure and message through their websie. It would not let me submit a request. It continued to tell me my email was incorrect, I even copied and pasted it. I tried several times. I also kept checking to see the all of the information was correct, and it still would not work. I emailed for a refund and hopefully it will get done since there is 120 money back guarantee.

I so-o-o appreciate your call and all your insights. I just started with the Thunder Wunders and was surprised to find he didn't like them! So I'm no grinding it down into his meal. Also waiting for adaptil to kick in. Do at this point I need the calm chews more than he does!

Reason I chose this business:

My dog chases his tail and barks, scratches, licks his private parts - had allergy shot and I don't see that it has helped. I have only had him 2 months and he is 5 years old. Sally thought all this behavior is anxiety and recommended using ThunderWunder calming treats with melatonin and I can't wait to get some!

I am very grateful for your comments! I have a newly adopted Beagle -Allie - she is nine years old. She was used for breading and only just got spayed in the past month. She is very smart, but knows littlie behaviourally... the loving and loyal characteristics are profound, however.

Your comments saved me from investing time II do not have with trainpetdog.com.

I will keep looking to help Allie. You have helped us along. We will find the next step.

Again, Thank You! - Julie

I immediately received the online course and then the written hard copy less than a week later. I was surprised after reading all of these reviews. I was expecting a rip off but I got what I paid for.

Thanks a lot for the tips you are giving me. I'm having a wonderful time trying them out on my dog. I must say from the look of thing, though I have only tried out the tips in a few days., I have started seeing some positive changes. Thanks a lot.

I found both the emails very helpful. The first one about saying no to her and gaining her respect in order for her to listen to you and second one about ignoring her at times when she is just trying to get your attention. I am finding this information very useful.

Extremely helpful. Lots of information that really helps. You are the most responsive and have the best advise of all the trainers we have reached out to. What you said really makes sense and we can do this for two weeks and see if it helps as much as you say it will.

Reason I chose this product:

Yes! This is the only place we got real answers to our questions and got advice we can easily follow to make our dog better behaved.

So far, I wasn't sure which training to use and if the tips given to me will work. When I signed up for this training I wasn't sure if I will waste my money or time as there are so many resources on the Web. So far I haven't started the official training yet, but I will. I have been getting useful emails with tips, and even a free book :). It's awesome how much they willing to give away for free, thus as soon as my puppy is 12 weeks ill commence the proper training!

I read all your instructions and I was like wow ! I was wandering to find a best trainer for Shadow. Now I think I don't have to wander anymore because I am at the best place . I'm feeling so lucky. Well, I read all your instructions and I think they are quite easy steps to train Shadow. God Bless You.

My dog is such a good girl, but we are really having trouble with pottying in the house right after she has been out and pottied. I am glad to know I am doing the right things. I also agree with Sally that limiting her water intake upon coming in can help.

Reason I chose this business:

I was afraid to keep my dog on a leash with me in the house for fear I was going to break her spirit, but Sally told me all the things she would learn while on the leash, so I am gung-ho to do it now.

I have sent several texts and purchased entire elite training program but haven t spoken to a person about Lolo. I know he s 5 and had a botched hernia operation fixed. I d like to know why such a beautiful dog had been put in a rescue and is it due to behavior problems.

First, The booklet I received for my "specific" breed was clearly generic and used for other breeds, as it wasn't edited well, nor was it terribly accurate. The site access to "free information" all seems to lead to more books to buy.

Second, I left messages for months to get someone to call me back to discuss cancelling my monthly "subscription." No one calls back. When I finally gave up calling and went to the website, it gave me an inducement to pay another $37 for a lifetime membership. For "faster" service, it told me to log a ticket which the system won't submit. Nor will it submit your cancellation. I had to go to my bank and initiate a dispute in order to stop the payments.

Tracey, Abby was a Chihuahua in your video but a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in mine, lol! They ask the breed of your dog and "Voila!" That's what Abby becomes! Since Cavalier King Charles Spaniels never bite anyone, I immediately knew it was a scam. I can't imagine a Chihuahua biting anyone (at least not seriously enough to call animal control) either!

I have gained so much valuable insight in understanding my German Shepherd a little bit better than before, thanks to TrainPetDog. I've encountered TrainPetDog as being different from other online sites out there when it comes to helping me with understanding my dog. TrainPetDog offers reading material and training that is in a language that is easily accessible to the everyday person fond of his/her dog. The training material is user-friendly and personalised. I struggled a lot with socialising my dog before; all the sites, and training manuals I consulted, failed in making me know what to do to turn my dog an obedient dog up until I came across TrainPetDog. For what they are able to help with, they really charge a below reasonable amount of money - I know I paid more elsewhere - for worst results! I fully recommend TrainPetDog for you and your dog.
