“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 see that I created my own problems with my dog's housetraining. I'm upset with what Sally told me, but only because I realize all the things I have done wrong and now have to re-train my puppy.

Reason I chose this business:

I have to pick up the potty pads in the house and take my puppy outdoors every two hours to potty.

It was targeted at my specific questions. Helpful easy things to start with with follow up videos.

Reason I chose this business:

Using kibble when you first come in to distract your dog from being so excited.

I'm glad I signed up for a call. The 2 times I spoke to a trainer about 2 problem behaviors were the most impactful part of this. I can't say anything else I read was.

I feel relieved that my new puppy's aggressive behavior is normal.

Reason I chose this business:

I thought my puppy was being aggressive due to the lack of exercise. Instead, it was the lack of proper rest. I was given sleep guidelines and recommendations for stimulating my puppy to help avoid biting, chewing and aggressiveness.

Reason I chose this product:

Every pet is different as is every owner. I would recommend signing up for TrainingPetDog. I have personally found the guidance extremely valuable.

I bought one of their books which is fine... Really disliked how they give you the "free" Elite Dog Club for one month then automatically charge your card $37 a month after. I went on there anyways to check it out while it was free for me. Personally it wasn't something I would pay $37 a month for so I canceled the subscription before they billed me. During the 2nd step of the 3 step process to cancel they offered me a ONE TIME FEE OF $37 TO HAVE A LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP! This upsets me because I'm sure there are people that enjoy this site and these poor loyal customers are being taken advantage of.

Very encouraging to hear of Sally's experiences in the past 18 months with her herding dog and hear that what I am doing will work eventually.

Reason I chose this business:

Pulling and lunging on the leash and play biting and zooming

The tips I have received concerning Sable(Labrador retriever) have been great. She is doing awesome. I wish I could afford the program. It's quite reasonably priced but I have not worked since Covid.

I appreciated the call, but I had already talked to a trainer this week and I don't have my puppy yet. I don't understand how I got on Sally's list when I'd already had a call.

Reason I chose this business:

We discussed slip collars

I PURCHASED YOUR PROGRAM ON MAY 2018. IT SAID ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT I COULD SIGN UP FOR $1.00 FOR 3 DAYS TO TRY IT OUT AND IF I WANTED TO KEEP IT I WOULD BE CHARGED $37. SO I SIGNED UP AND TRIED IT. IT DID NOT WORK FOR ME SO I CANCELLED WITHIN 2 DAYS. WHEN I CANCELLED THERE WAS NO CANCELLATION NUMBER OR CONFIRMATION NUMBER GIVEN. BUT IT DID SAY THE ACCOUNT WAS CANCELED. NOW 3 MONTHS LATER AS I LOOK THROUGH MY CREDIT CARD STAMENT I SEE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN CHARGING MY CREDIT CARD THE $37. I CALLED MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY AND THEY REFUND THE TOTAL AMOUNT. ON TODAY I LETTER FROM MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY SAYING THEY ARE TAKING THE MONEY OUT AGAIN. FIRST OF ALL I FIND IT REALLY SHADY THAT YOU DO NOT GIVE A CONFIRMATION ON CANCELLATIONS, YOU DONT EVEN ABIDE BY YOUR OWN 120 day 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. "WOW". I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE A REFUND OF MY MONEY.

Hi Karon, Sorry to learn about your experience. First and foremost, we don't have any offer of $1.00 for 3 days. We offer Elite Dog Club membership free with our Dog Lovers Training course. You may opt out of it during ordering - so you are not forced to have any recurring payment product from us. And even if you subscribe to it, you can always cancel it within the first 30 days and not be charged at all. I am sorry to learn that your cancelation didn't take into effect. Can you please email to info@trainpetdog.com? We need you email ID to track the order and refund the payments.

This was great. I realize after talking with Sally that I was giving the wrong message and I need to change what I am saying and how I am reacting to the situation.

Reason I chose this business:

I keep telling Hope that "it's okay; it's a buddy" when I should tell her "leave it" when we approach or pass another dog. I am giving the message that it is a friend to play with and what I should be saying is that this is not the time to play.

I was happy with the ideas Sally gave me and how she seemed to know about puppymill dogs and how they more often act and what they know and don't know.

Reason I chose this business:

I learned the basic characteristics of a puppymill puppy which is very helpful in my figuring out whether to adopt one to go with my Lasa Apso.

Wonderful
