Within 30 minutes Matt was at my house for an evaluation, and upon meeting my dog he decided that he did not think the aggressive program was necessary, and we gave the obedience program a try first, and he was right! We met a few trainers before finding one that not only bonded with my dog, but one my dog felt comfortable with, and for the remaining sessions it was him we had the pleasure of seeing once a week. I reached out to DTE with a fear reactive dog, completely hysterical over a bite incident. Matt and his team do an incredible job and they all have the best hearts. Thank Neal, Ashley, Azure, and the rest of the team for all their help. Neal and his team have been professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. The difference now is that he obeys our commands and understands the limits. We have completed the home visits and are participating in the group classes with fantastic success. However, after the first visit with Neal, the barking was gone!! The training immediately corrected the jumping on the couch or at the counter. The barking was, for me, a significant problem due to its impact on the neighbors. My previous experiences were with dogs that were much easier to train. I had tried the usual trainers with a reward-based program with no success. We started the training less than two months ago, and the results have been dramatic! We were dealing with a highly energetic English setter who was constantly barking in our fence to any walkers passing by, plus reactive behavior toward other dogs when walking on a leash. She pays so much attention to me now, I cannot even believe it!! She constantly comes to me to check on me, and we bonded on such a deep level through our practices that I never thought was possible. more cooperative) After our sessions, she is now able to go wherever I point, sits (even w/o command), mastered leash manners (no pulling, stay within a foot distance), and definitely leaves other dogs alone when I tell her so. Turns out, my pup is actually super smart, but she just chose to ignore what I want! Since she has been spoiled all her childhood and adult life (she's 3), we have had one of the most difficult session where my dog just don't want to work with Shawn (thinking she can still get away with bad behaviors), and I so much appreciate that Shawn did not give up - because he persisted through, my dog respects Shawn, and respects her owners, and completely changed her perspective on the training (i.e. For the longest time before the sessions, I thought that my dog just isn't the brightest (she's a pitbull with mostly AmStaffy), but I was OK with her goofiness and non-responsiveness, until she displayed some aggression toward smaller dogs Thats when I found Shawn and Sharon. If you choose to discontinue training sessions, you may purchase phone or email support to supplement your training.Shawn, Sharon and Angela have been absolutely amazing! We participated in the Gold course which completely transformed our dog in the span of five weeks. This support is available as long as you have unused sessions. Our trainers will always be available to you between sessions.Īll clients that purchase a package will have the benefit of phone and email communication with a licensed trainer. The questionnaire along with the consultation will help determine the correct program and the course of action best suited for you and your dog. Not only is each individual's body language important, but so is how they interact and communicate with the dog. Meeting everyone in the family is crucial it helps determine how the dog interprets each individual's body language. This consultation can take up to 3 hours-we like to be thorough.Ĭoming to your home is vital it helps gain an understanding of the dog's living space and his or her daily routine. After careful review a consultation can be scheduled to meet you and all the members (human and animal) of your family. The purpose of the questionnaire is to better understand your desired outcome and bring to the surface any issues you and your pup may have. After that, you need to answer a few questions.
