“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 don't know if the things Sally said will work, but she is the first person I've talked to who seem to know anything about Shiba Inu, which was encouraging.

Reason I chose this business:

We talked about what to do with my young female and her aggressive behavior toward my male at mealtime. Sally told me to use commands and to set expectations and use time outs when expectations were not met.

I have my hands full with this pit bull mix rescue and was grateful to talk with Sally and get some good ideas.

Reason I chose this business:

I had no idea that the harness I was using wasn't affecting my dog at all and was actually telling her to just pull as much as she wanted. I will get a front-pull harness right away and start working on come and with me and leave it. I was using "leave it" but had not taught it to her so she had no idea what I was saying she should do.

Reason I chose this product:

Absolutely. Sally is really helpful and encouraging.

Very glad to talk to Sally and learn of other dogs that have had similar obsessions and how she has worked with them.

Reason I chose this business:

I learned that I definitely need to work with my dog on his obsession with chasing and biting his tail and Sally gave me pointers including using calming treats and then using really good food and treats to get his mind off of it. She also suggested getting a trainer to come to the house to show us how to work with Domino - and I just hired a trainer today.

We're on the right track with our training, a few tweaks are good. Making sure that we stay positive is a good idea.

Reason I chose this business:

We learned about the interactive toys, so we can stimulate her mentally. Rotating the toys are well is a good plan.

Reason I chose this product:

Yes, I would recommend it.
