Thanks for training Lacey’s family
Testimonial – Lacey
Bob, I would like to thank you for training my family in helping them
understand me better. By teaching them the proper way to talk to me and
redirect my loving enthusiasm in fun and happy way, it has made our lives so
much more enjoyable. Because I am still a puppy, I get scared, nervous, and
sometimes, I do not know what I want, but the skills, techniques and bond
forged by your training helps us get through it without the yelling and
frustration. My daily walks with Mommy are a pleasure for both of us and
learning my “Place” when friends visit makes them happy to see me. Again,
thank you for your gentle patience and calm demeanor.
Lacey
P.S.
Tell Kacey I miss our play time together.

Testimonial- Dragon
Hello Bob!
Remember me I am Dragon’s mommy 
Just got your newsletter and wanted to drop a
quick line to say hi! Dragon is amazing (largely because of you). I have been
meaning to send you a video of him. We have moved so he has a bigger space and a
yard We adopted our foster baby and her sister so we are now a family of 4 girls
As for our star- everyday he astonishes me with what he picks up- even with out the
collar he is incredibly responsive to me. He has mastered some more tricks and
commands some of which he will do by hand signal or voice which I thought was
cool. We had a boy over the house who is scared of dogs and my 5 year old(he is her
friend) took Dragon to him and showed him all his “tricks” on her own and told him
to do it- and he did everything. His mom told me all he talks about is the cool
pink dog that does tricks for him. The pink part was that they play with side walk
chalk and for some reason he loves to roll in it so that day he was the color pink
My 5 and 6 year old have great control with him- my 2 year would but I dont
think he understands a word she is saying to him
Hands down Dragon is the BEST dog ever!!! And we thank you for that!!
I hope all is well and that your business is well! Feel free to keep in touch!
