Sherry, Matt, and Reece

There are times I don’t even know there is a dog at the end of the leash. We have the most wonderful girl in Reece now, thanks to you.

Reece-Testimonial-Photo-1Your training has worked wonders with Reece.

Now as soon as she spots an animal (dog, bird, etc.) she stops, looks to us for a treat, and praise. Who is this dog?

We still have to be vigilant in our walks (I suppose we always will) but it sure beats winding up on the ground with one arm longer than another. Again, thanks for everything…

(A few months later…)

We continue to sing your praises. There are times I don’t even know there is a dog at the end of the leash. We have the most wonderful girl in Reece now, thanks to you.

Maureen, John, Maude, and Kramer

Thanks for helping us to shape Kramer into the great dog that he is. I still can’t believe he waited 3 years for someone to love him.

Kramer-Testimonial-Photo-1The class was great and we continue to use everything we learned.

He has really relaxed here and is a huge goofball.

Maude keeps him in line!

Thanks for helping us to shape Kramer into the great dog that he is.

Danielle, Joe, and Moose

Thanks to your classes, Moose is a pleasure to live with. I never thought we’d be able to say that!

Moose-Testimonial-Photo-1Lisa,

Thanks to your classes, Moose is a pleasure to live with.

I never thought we’d be able to say that!

You’ve done an excellent job of clearing up all the myths that are out there regarding dog behavior, and we appreciate that you are always ready to share the latest and greatest information that you’ve learned with us.

Every time we come to a class we learn something new – and we all have a great time!

Kendra and Jackson

I wanted to thank you for such a great class yesterday – I talked about it all day! …We were “in the zone!”

Jackson-Testimonial-Photo-1Hi Lisa,

I wanted to thank you for such a great class yesterday – I talked about it all day!

I wish it had been videotaped – I hope I can recreate the focus and connection Jackson and I had – both in the future with him and then with my future dogs.

We were “in the zone!”

Susan and Johnny B. Good

…this has all been a great gift and I thank you as always.

Johnny-B-Good-Testimonial-Photo-1 Kindness and attention really work better even if taking longer, and are infinitely better for the human as well.

The Dalai Lama says that kindness is at the heart of Buddhism. Positive training is such a clear showing of kindness as opposed to unkindness… it’s strange to see people arguing against it.

A long time ago I heard Michael Tilson Thomas say that what’s required in making good music are time and attention and love. I think of that with dog training; also the training is animal-assisted therapy for the trainer.

If you could see how gently Johnny tells me that he needs to go out, or greets my mother, you might not recognize that little dog who was shredding our sleeves on the lawn at South Putnam Animal Hospital.

Anyway, this has all been a great gift and I thank you as always.
