Turns out they classify a sweet, lick happy Frenchy as a "Bully breed" all buy looking at a picture. Obviously, they have had bad luck in the past, but the numerous paragraphs explaining why our pup didn't make the cut was insulting not only to us but to our dog. Did they ever think about having a one-on-one meeting with the pup, to see if this HUGE 28-pound pup showed any signs of aggression? No! Now we are glad they turned down our pup, because I don't want him in with a bunch of prima donnas. He would more than likely be ignored because this loving, kissing pup would be "Classified as unfit for their program.

We recently adopted a new furry family member, a Sheepadoodle to be exact. While we did our…read moreresearch on the breed, I wasn't sure if this breed would live up to their nickname: sharkadoodle. I'm here to say, our pup did. We adopted him at 7 weeks old and after our first vet appointment, we knew we needed to get a trainer, because the quicker you train your pup, the quicker they learn. When we asked our vet if they had any dog trainer recommendations, without hesitation, they mentioned Susan Gillespy with Behavior Training for Dogs. I contacted Susan via her website and within a few hours she contacted me back, asked some general questions, and we set up an appointment for our first dog training. I will say, do your research when looking for a trainer. While you shouldn't be price gouged, it is an investment, and an investment doesn't always come cheap. When I spoke to Susan, I asked how many sessions does a puppy normally need, she mentioned four (typically). She comes to your house, this isn't a group lesson. She arrived on a Saturday morning ready to start work. Susan described her teaching philosophy, what we'd aim to accomplish each session, and checked to see what our concerns were. I really liked how she got everyone in the family involved in the training. She's a big believer in "NFL" "No Free Lunch". Basically your pup/dog needs to work for their food. Each lesson we built on the concepts we learned, like come when called, clicker training, no nipping, sit, stay, down, signal, doorbell training, leash and harness training, jumping, etc. Each week we received homework. Some of our homework was doing 150-200 commands each day. If you do this every day, you'll see progress. By the end of lesson four, I feel like we had a different puppy. While he's still a work in progress, and it's a lifelong learning concept, I feel like this was a good investment. Susan may be tough, but she's fair, and you and your pup will thank you for it. Pros: -Fair pricing -Comes to your home -Works with the entire family -Ability to call/text Susan when you have questions/concerns -Gives you an outline and homework at the end of each lesson Cons: -None Tips: If you go with Susan/another trainer, be sure to continue to work with your pup.

He was a little scared and nippy at first which is understandable but with her fear-free grooming techniques, he quickly calmed down and enjoyed his pampered grooming experience. I'm extremely satisfied and happy with his transformation and how she worked through his anxiety with him to show him that grooming is a good thing and it doesn't have to be scary! I'm grateful she was the one to fix my doggy up, I wouldn't want anyone else to groom my baby but her thank you!!
