“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 really benefitted from our call with Sally. She had tips for us to use to all kinds of situations. They are easy to teach, but we need to be consistent with the words and actions.

Reason I chose this business:

We started by talking a lot about barking and teaching better etiquette, but we ended up talking about teaching the dog a better way to greet people and how to teach the dog to come. And then we discussed getting the dog to walk on leash without pulling.

Good ideas that I can easily follow. I'm so glad to talk to someone who agrees with me that they are 6 times harder to train when there are two than when you only have one!

Reason I chose this business:

Potty training two puppies at once

I am so appreciative of all the things Sally talked with me about. It helped me understand my dog and his instincts and behavior and she gave me several good ideas of how to help him.

Reason I chose this business:

He bites/nips people who are walking by our house and he jumps the fence. I learned that a remote training collar can help in both situations, but that overall I need to take him to a trainer or training class so he can learn not to herd people.

Fantastic! Sally was awesome! Her ideas and suggestions and ways to train made a lot of sense to me and I am anxious to get started working on them with my puppy.

Reason I chose this business:

How my dog pulls when walking and lunges to see dogs and bark at squirrels. Sally helped me change to a front-pull harness and teach my dog to "heel" and "sit" and "leave it" and "watch me" and I think this will really help.

Reason I chose this product:

Yes, yes, yes! This one call alone was worth every penny!

My concerns were things I didn't think about. You re-assured me that I was on the right track and the dog just needs time to grow and mature. I feel much better.

I loved talking to another Sally - and this one had a wealth of knowledge, even anticipating some of the issues we have that we had not identified yet and giving us solutions!

Reason I chose this business:

I wanted help with digging, walking on a leash without pulling, and biting. Sally gave me solutions for those and also talked about teaching "floor" and "leave it" and teaching the dog and grandchildren ways to greet one another safely. I loved this!

Hearing from Thomas was very, very helpful!

For $134, I got nothing of value! Then they try to sucker you for $37 a month!
You can get better information from a pet store book on dog care for $3.50!

To much add on, after you talk about how good the course is you want to add on. Which doesn't leave me with a lot of confidence in what I just purchased.

The reason I gave it 4 was even the information given was good could have said everything shorter and more to the point.

I really like hearing that she had her own experience with potty training and that I understand that I have a challenge with an older male dog that has not ever had potty training.

Reason I chose this business:

That my current approach is one approach that might work in the long run

Reason I chose this product:

It has been helpful to me and I would recommend it

Bad Shih Tzu manual - I purchased their manual on how to train Shih Tzu. I recieved a manual on things already known and things are just rediulous as well.
I payed $37.00 for this and then ithe site signed me up without even telling me to another site for a montly fee.
I have called, emailed and everything to try and stop this and you just can't get a hold of anyone.
I received my bank statment and the $37.00 came out Along with a currency exchange fee.
Come to find out it is not located in California but in fact an untraceable location over seas.
This site should be shut down in my opion.

Thank you for all of the customers who gave a bad review. I was going to buy the training materials, but after reviewing the bad reports I chose not too. I saved myself some money.

If we have enough complaints we can put them out of business. I am wiring the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General Of their state to investigate this company.
I hope you will also.

I charged for the training dog product and I never received. I thought the website might be a scam so I tried to use my cash app card but it would not accept then it stated I could use PayPal. If I do not receive the product by tomorrow I am going to dispute the charge. They try to trick you by giving a 120 day guarantee to get money back if you are dissatisfied. INTERACTIVE WEB SERVICES FZE IS THE NAME THEY USE FOR PAYPAL PAYMENTS.

This was fun, encouraging, and helpful. We loved that Sally's puppy sounds just like our Lizzie and hearing how she is dealing with Lassie was very helpful.

Reason I chose this business:

Oh, so many things, but the biggest thing is the barking. We learned we have to model "no bark" and follow up with a time out when she doesn't quit barking.

I am delighted to understand my dog's behavior and excited to share what I have learned with my daughter so we can start working on Sally's suggestions.

Reason I chose this business:

My dog is peeing/pooping/marking at my daughter's house and we did not understand why. Sally was able to explain it and give us some things to do to change the behavior.

I learned so much - how to teach several commands that will cover most of the issues we are having and what the correct hand signals are for a couple of commands.

Reason I chose this business:

We talked about Daisy jumping on us and how to teach "floor" to stop that and then what hand signal to use.

I was really frustrated and Sally gave me good things to work on with my dog. I think a few weeks of working on "heel" and "sit" and "come" the way she explained should make a good difference.

Reason I chose this business:

I like what Sally said about using a front-pull harness and teaching "heel" and "sit" and "come" in the house without distractions.

The call is wonderful, but I can't afford the $77 a month subscription so will probably cancel after this month even though I will only have gotten my puppy and will need the support.
