“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.

I always learn when I talk to the trainers at TrainPetDog. Sally was informative and reinforced my feelings about the squirt bottle with alcohol and vinegar - don't do it!

Reason I chose this business:

Sally explained how to teach my dog that playtime with the flirt pole was over.

I feel calmer about being able to introduce my dog to other dogs.

Reason I chose this business:

My Golden is scared to death of any other dog and is so anxious that he cannot go to a training class or go on a walk.

The call went well

Seems very informative so far. I am reading ahead to prepare for the arrival of our puppy. Will stay again when pup arrives. So far, the lessons make sense.

Needed help for breed specific issues with a foster dog who had a bad start in life. Since these lessons were breed specific I am finding them very helpful!

Reason I chose this business:

Full time management required for behavior modification and reinforcing good behavior.

We found out we have done almost everything wrong with this little fellow, but Sally assures us we can correct our mistakes; it will just take a little longer.

Reason I chose this business:

Our dog's marking is that he is showing he is alpha over us and is claiming our furniture and rooms. We learned ways to be alpha over him.

I think this is very encouraging since we had so much progress since our first call. Now we have another lesson to work on that's easy to accomplish and I think we'll see positive results from it.

Reason I chose this business:

To use food item at back of crate to help reduce him turning around and growling.

Reason I chose this product:

So far we are VERY happy and have already recommended it. We didn't have an alternative and it's working.

Boy have we been doing everything wrong! We are happy to have some advice to help us turn things around with our two dogs. They are in charge and that is not good!

Reason I chose this business:

Our dogs are alpha over us, peeing on our bed, pooping and peeing in the house, fussing in their crates, etc.

Very helpful. I had talked with EMily and felt I was doing what she said but didn't feel like my dog was learning to potty correctly - just to not potty in her crate.

Reason I chose this business:

Sally re-iterated that I was basically doing potty training correctly, but it takes time and consistency. She added a couple of tweaks for me to try.

Reason I chose this product:

Talking to the trainers is a wonderful feature of this website!

I was encouraged when the trainer said her puppy of the same age seemed to do really well for two days and then have a bad day. I hadn't thought about teething causing such problems for the puppies.

Reason I chose this business:

We talked about potty training and what kind of halter or collar to use for training class.

Oh, this was so very helpful! I learned so much I should have been doing with my older dog for 8 years and now I have to teach him and the puppy, but it all sounds like it will work.

Reason I chose this business:

I learned some tricks for housebreaking and learned how to teach "leave it" and a bunch of times it will really help my dogs' behavior.

Extremely helpful. Trainer really knew her "stuff." Many, many suggestions to save our sanity and the carpets!

Reason I chose this business:

One suggestion was to utilize an additional gate to prevent that early morning right hand turn into the living room. Trainer addressed training in the context my physical limitations.

Reason I chose this product:

You bet! There’s nothing to loose!

I've never had a dog before so I really don't know what I'm doing. Sally was so very helpful in giving me very specific instructions. I feel like I can handle her so much better if I do these things.

Reason I chose this business:

Getting her to walk with me, getting her to not pick up stuff on the walk, getting her to quit barking at me and nipping me.

Honestly, I am still trying out the tips Nancy has been giving me for free and my dog is still learning the 1st command of SIT. But I wouldn't relent as I would keep practicing with my pup all I am learning.

I so appreciate all the things Sally told me how to teach my dog. I had no idea I was doing the time out wrong, but that explains why it wasn't working!

Reason I chose this business:

We talked about how to teach her to walk without pulling, how to teach her to quit biting and nibbling all over me, and how to teach her to "leave it."

Do you treat all your customers this way and expect to just get away with it? Yes, my dog is a Shorkie but they could have come close to the right breed. They at least got her name right after awhile. After the original payment. They didn't contact me by email which is the only way we had communicated but called my house and said they had been trying to call for 3-4 days. There is always someone in my house to answer the phone. Finally, my Mom got a call from them saying something about them renewing a magazine subscription and them have charging my account for it. Not asking if they could but telling me they already had done it. Sure enough, they had changed my account four days before they even notified me I emailed them and finally called my bank and they are handling it as a fraudulent case. My $37.00 has been put back but I don't know which one it is for. They cancelled my membership for me but I think they said something about a free month. Who cares. I just want all my money back. You are 100% right. SCAM. I wish I had come here first!

Tip for consumers:
Don't. The dog breeds they say they will help you train don't exist. It is a general program. You can get better books for less money. They charge your credit card for other things and don't tell you until days after its done. It is A SCAM OF THE WORST KIND. DON'T DO IT!!!!
