Review Us

"We can’t thank you enough for changing our home life with Soba. In the beginning, we were all over the place with very bad habits of inconsistency, spoiling, lack of discipline, and more.

Upon completing our 6 weeks with you, Soba now sits patiently in the car and waits until we release him. We have him do this at every door in our home. He cannot go in and out at will unless he sits, waits, then is “freed” to enter or depart.

When we walk him, he stays close to us and knows that both Will and I are in full control of his desire to take over. He is doing very well. We are taking him on short, 15 minute walks, often starting with the habit of going in and out of the car, and then making him sit often during the walks.

Will is much better at using the food as target on his walks than me, but I am better at using the words “sit” “stay” “heel” and “free” at every turn. Together, I think we will progress much better than before. We are also noticing that Soba is a changed dog. We know he is saying, “Thanks for thinking ahead for me."

Once we are successful with longer walks, we will see how he is with other dogs coming our way. He still jumps at other dogs, and we are doing our best to distract him with food and directions. Maybe if we need more help, we’ll contact you and have Kristen assist us. In the meantime, we just need to implement outstanding dog handling skills, thanks to the three of you!"
