“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 felt defeated after expressing my concerns about Bissa losing his mom and not being brought home from a litter. The veterinarian made feel as if Bissa's behavior issues were going to be extensive.

Wonderfully informative! The training course is very flexible and informative about my puppy breed. I like the way the course is geared to meet a first time owner/trainer's needs for properly training a puppy and going through all the phases of behavior training and modification. I, also like the ability to connect with professional trainers for advice and guidance for specific issues.

Reason I chose this business:

I found out I am expecting too much too soon!

These calls are very helpful. I feel more confident and have tools to use after talking to a trainer.

Reason I chose this business:

My Goldendoodle pulls on the leash. Sally told me to teach her to "heel and sit" and to make frequent turns and stops to keep her paying attention.

I am thrilled with all the things Sally explained to me and the various commands she told me how to teach Ruby Jo.

Reason I chose this business:

Ruby jumps and barks all the time we are fixing any food or eating any food and Sally told me how to teach "leave it" and "floor" and "mat" and "stay." This will take some work, but it will be worth it.

Emily gave me so many great ideas to make Pippin the best dog he can be. I feel like they are doable and we will be successful..

Reason I chose this business:

When putting him in his kennel for the evening, giving him a chew toy to calm him down and as a reward. We’ve already got a Kong in the freezer full of water and I will get other treats tomorrow.

Reason I chose this product:

Worth every penny. Do it quickly

Very helpful advice. I liked that she asked questions and then gave advice based on my answers.

Reason I chose this business:

I need to keep her on a leash with me when I am home and take her out to potty every hour and a half. I need consistency and I need to just keep at it.

Wow! I have a lot to work on! But I am so glad to have my questions answered and know how to deal with various situations.

Reason I chose this business:

Housetraining was my big issue tonight and Sally answered all my questions and gave me an idea how to put my dog on a routine and help her learn to potty outdoors and maybe us a potty patch on the balcony.

It was so good to actually talk to someone who understands what we are dealing with and get some ideas of how to work with submission urination.

Reason I chose this business:

We had no idea that the more training and commands we do with our dog, the more confidence he will have and the less he will have submission urination.

I am really having a hard time with my dog biting and nipping and Sally assured me it was normal, but she could help.

Reason I chose this business:

Sally told me I was doing the right thing by giving my puppy a time out for biting and nipping and also told me to put puppy on a leash more in the house and make her walk with me.

Sally had a possible solution for every situation I told her and she knew about some things I hadn't thought about.

Reason I chose this business:

Getting my dog to walk next to me on a leash and getting him to go into the yard with the collar for the fence on him.

It was good to talk to someone and get their opinion on the things I'm struggling with.

Reason I chose this business:

Instead of going potty outdoors, he eats grass and clover and then comes in and 15 minutes later he poops. Sally said to keep him on his leash when I bring him in and take him back out in 15 minutes.

Confused and dissapointed!

You are given a clue as to where to begin followed by more selling to receive " the course" after paying for the course. There is no way to contact anyone to help. I wanted to start on May 1st and never got any feedback just continued repeat of animated selling push. I did speak with a trainer regarding house breaking however so far we have had no success. Going from a litter box to outside is a challenge. There should be some interaction or place to contact.

Reason I chose this business:

Potty training is our big issue, but also his eating grass and pulling on the leash. I am following whatever little direction is offered prior to an attempt to buy more before ever given what could be picked up by reading a book. I wish that you gave what you suggested you were offering. There is no where you offer customer service that I ever found. Just purchase here icons.

It is encouraging to talk to Sally and hear her stories and her ideas.

Reason I chose this business:

Oh, we talked about so many things... I think the best thing we talked about was how to deal with the evening rowdies and how important routine is for the dog.

Very informative!

Very informative! Follow up information that was sent will be very beneficial.
Knowledge of how a Cane Corso or puppy are strengthened my overall knowledge of how to handle a puppy.
Over all the conversation was uplifting on how to handle my cane corso as well as understand her behavior.

Reason I chose this business:

Given understanding of the unwanted behavior and provided with information as to what to do!

Reason I chose this product:

Absolutely sign up.

My husband and I have had 4 other Cane Corsos and never had one this crazy and we are really afraid she will hurt one of us or someone else. Sally has given us great hope and helped us understand that she is not aggressive; she is just untrained and we need to do some training!

Reason I chose this business:

She bites us and jumps on us and bites, she runs around crazy, she is uncontrollable. Sally said to keep a leash on her with a choke chain or a Martingale collar and a leash with one of us on the other end and teach her "heel" and "sit" and "stay" and "floor" and give her a time out when she doesn't listen

I appreciate the time and advice so very much. It all made sense to me.

Reason I chose this business:

I learned that I need to get a choke chain and keep a leash on my puppy more of the time and work on training leave it, and floor, and no bite.

Reason I chose this product:

This website's videos are very helpful, but it is even more helpful to talk to a trainer.

This was very helpful. I appreciated all that Sally told me about training two dogs.

Reason I chose this business:

I learned that using a long leash and making each dog come several times a day will greatly improve their coming when called.

Reason I chose this product:

The trainers at TrainPetDog know what they are talking about. They are very experienced with all types of dogs.
