“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.

It was so helpful to talk with Sally. I had noticed my dog doesn't pee and poop both on the pee pad, but didn't understand why and she helped me. She also confirmed my feeling that I was confusing the dog by taking him outside and providing pee pads.

Reason I chose this business:

I had considered trying a litter box for my dog, but I think after talking with Sally that I will really focus on his peeing and pooping outdoors for now and remove pee pads and not get a litter box.

I am learning so much about my dogs and how to train them. Like how simple things I didn't know greatly affect my dogs' learning ability. This program recognizes the need to train the trainers before they attempt to train their dogs. Both I and my dogs are learning at the same time and it's wonderful to see how quickly behavior can be adapted. I never realized how eager dogs can be to learn new things. This program is a learning tool for all of us. That's a lot to say for a 67 yr. Old who has been around dogs his entire life!

I've so far had a decent experience its only been a couple of days and already I've gotten a couple of good tips and a free guide. I hope that I will continue to get helpful hints throughout the rest of my month and if so I will up the amount of stars given. Overall its worth giving a try as you don't have to commit to anything with money unless you want to in order to get more in depth information.

Buster and I have created an immense bond and seeks attention at the right times and I give at the right time. Bad behavior portrait by Buster like biting is highly ignored and Buster would realise this and gives up and get to its dog house and relax. Good behaviors are rewarded. The only thing is that Buster would still relief himself where unwanted and this is realised by myself from work... While we are together it goes to a desired and chosen spot.

I've had a horrible time - house burned down, husband died, surgery - and finally feel like I need a dog and am in a stable enough place to have one. I am so happy to talk to Sally because it has been a long time since I trained a puppy. Very helpful.

Reason I chose this business:

Basic puppy stuff - biting, barking

I recieved the first two emails. The tips seem to be working great especially the one that keeps her from jumping up on me. After a few turns when she jumps on me and I turn away she gets off then sits and wait till I responds. Thanks again.

Happy to talk to another Sheltie owner. We have been very frustrated with potty training after his near-death illness, but Sally was so encouraging and had very definite ideas for working with Shelties.

I must have missed the call around 7:00 so Sally called back very late at 9:15. I wasn't going to talk since we were already in bed, but I did tell her the dog was not a puppy and had started peeing on the bed, so she said that was marking and I wanted to know what to do about it, so she told me. She was very straightforward and I liked talking with her.

Reason I chose this business:

My dog is marking my bed.

I'd like to think this call was a "one and done" deal where if I do the things I was told, all will be well. However, I know that my dog is going to be a challenge and I will be signing up for more calls! Sally had good advice tonight and I will be doing the things we talked about.

Reason I chose this business:

My puppy takes and chews up anything she can grab. We talked about "leave it" to use before she takes things and how to use toys and the parts of fetch to teach her to "bring it" and either "give it" or "drop it."

I really appreciate the tips you have been giving me and I find it really helpful. As the tip about her jumping on me, it has worked. Thank you so much. I will continue to use these tips on Diamond as she is becoming a good girl day by day and one of the reason is TrainPetDog.

I feel much more comfortable working with our puppy. I learned all kinds of things about housetraining, teaching her not to bite, taking care of his itching, and where she should sleep. With my notes, I feel like I can do this!

Hope this email finds you well. I found the email very helpful as my lovely Muska used to jump at me every time she see me but since I noticed that it's because of wanting to have my attention I can now say that I'm seeing some improvement thought I still need to work hard on improving her into a great friend.

I feel so much better about my dog coming and being my dog. My brother and his partner have fallen in love with her and so we are sharing her, but I didn't know how we would make this work and Sally has given me some solid ideas.

We talked with Sally before and she gave us so many good ideas for Paisley that we wanted to report Paisley's progress and get some tips for some other behavior problems. We are excited to try what we learned tonight.

Reason I chose this business:

Paisley is so fearful she won't let us go outside to work in the yard and if we take her with us, she gets in the way of what we are doing like she doesn't want us to give the weeds any attention!

This was amazing!

I really appreciate all the tips. I'm a little bit overwhelmed by all the things I need to be doing, but each one by itself sounds simple enough to do. I took notes, so hopefully I can make this work.

Reason I chose this business:

Biting - Sally give us several ways to work on biting in various situations.

Reason I chose this product:

I really like all that we have gotten by email and being able to talk to a trainer by phone.

Very encouraged. We were devastated that this puppy is deaf. Sally really encouraged us by sending us several websites to help us with training a deaf dog and she told us some wonderful things about deaf dogs.

Reason I chose this business:

Deaf dogs are not a lost cause, but can be special in that they are more loyal and have increased sight and smell so may even serve as therapy dogs. They can learn commands, but you have to do it through sign language or hand signals. We will start just as we would with any puppy on housetraining - and our two-year-old dog will help us!

Reason I chose this product:

This is wonderful and very encouraging!

Great call!

Great call! The trainer knew the solutions I needed.

Reason I chose this business:

The thing I really wanted was how to teach "stay" and what to do about chewing. Sally had solutions I can easily implement.

Reason I chose this product:

Sign up for these calls if you have a puppy. Keep trying - the calls are hard to get on, but well worth it.

So far the tips have been working. When he jumps on me I do look the other way and he does jump down as a response. Were slowly getting a little bit better. I know it takes time but so far so good. Your tips are helpful and amazing. THANK YOUUUUU!!!!!

My 8 month old cocker spaniel Frankie was having trouble learing to go outside to pee. I ditched my usual cleaner and started using vinegar and water to scrub and to clean up after an accident. I also started taking her out more often and staying with her to encourage and praise her. After only a few days, she has gone from "many" accidents to having maybe 1 a day.

Like so many here, I am glad I checked reviews before I got conned. Red flag for me was " We guarantee your credit card info is 100% secure". Who would promise that?

According to the web their address is 8721 Santa Monica Blvd, Suite 1010, Los Angeles CA except there is no such place. 8721 Santa Monica Blvd is in West Hollywood. Google Map shows it to be an outdoor strip mall of restaurants, a VCA emergency vet, etc. No suites. Number 8721 is an empty store front with a For Rent sign.

I would encourage you to take your complaint to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint which is www.ic3.gov since it is credit card fraud and econsumer.gov to report an international scam. The only way anything will change is if the victims report it!

I was skeptical that any trainer online could help me with my dog, so I asked Sally to tell me about her experience. I then told her the dogs in the mix of my dog and she immediately told me what my dog needs and why it is bored. I was impressed! Then she gave me a variety of ideas to use to work with my dog without my having to run or go hunting or anything crazy like that. I'm excited to get started.

Reason I chose this business:

My hound is bored! I have a routine on the treadmill he does three times a day, but he is bored with it.
