“We have owned dogs [and by the way, cats, horses, cattle, pigs and chickens] since the early 1980’s. Teddy, our Lakeland Terrier, is our ninth dog. Although we have had a number of Airedale Terriers this is our first experience with the Lakeland. I think it would be fair to say that this breed is a bit more headstrong. As a result we wanted to make sure we had a very good “basic training” experience which we would be able to build on.
“We spent a considerable amount of time looking at different training programs and we settled on your operation because we have experience with e-collars and because we very much liked your approach with animals. We were also impressed with your resume.
In the end its results that count and we are very pleased with the work you did with Teddy. We still have a headstrong dog BUT we have a headstrong dog that is interested in obedience and is therefore easy to continue training. As you know we have continued to work with Teddy on his obsession with the swimming pool. Based on your training and recommendations we now have control over this and it is a very comforting feeling indeed. We are also able to walk Teddy off leash on the beach and he will ignore distractions and come when called. It’s pretty impressive to watch a dog who is running down the beach away from you come to a screeching halt and turn to run back. We are happy and Teddy is happy. That’s all that counts!
Thanks for your help and guidance.
