## Review for Highland Canine Training - Carlos **Rating: **…read moreIf you have a challenging dog that you want to love more than anything but simply don't know what to do, I cannot recommend **Carlos** and the team at Highland Canine strongly enough. We adopted our dog, Reggie, just before Christmas. We've rescued many dogs over the years--including very tough cases--but we had never encountered a dog as aggressive as Reggie. Within two weeks, he had drawn blood multiple times. He struggled with severe resource guarding and an inability to settle. Despite trying in-home training, we weren't seeing any promise. Reggie was truly on his last stop when we reached out to Highland Canine for intensive residential therapy. While we want to thank **Jason, Erin, and Magda** for their incredible support, **Carlos** served as Reggie's primary trainer during his eight-week stay. Throughout the process, the communication was fantastic, and Carlos even provided a detailed video for us to reference so we could continue the progress at home. When Reggie finally came back to us, we realized immediately that we had brought home a different dog. It wasn't just that the biting had stopped; he had become a fun-loving, affectionate companion. He now handles stress with ease, is a pleasure on walks, and has even become best friends with our cat. Most people would have given up on Reggie, but because of the expertise and dedication shown by Carlos and the Highland team, he has finally found his forever home. There hasn't been a day since he's been back that I haven't thought about the profound difference Carlos made in all of our lives. We are forever grateful. Thank you, Carlos, and thank you, Highland.

He is a year old, male alpha English Doodle who is athletic, fast and strong. He used to pull so bad on the leash that only my husband could walk him. Carlos trained Aspen to leash walk, sit, stay in a place . . . all in three weeks. It was the best investment we have ever made. Now, we can enjoy Aspen (our well behaved dog).

TLDR: We wholeheartedly recommend working with Raschel to improve the mutual understanding,…read morebonding, and happiness between any dog owners and their beloved dogs. Context: We're introduced to Raschel by our friend who witnessed our struggles with the young energetic bernedoodle puppy. After the initial evaluation and call, we immediately built up trust and had good feelings with Raschel, and started private sessions from June 2022 to Jan 2023 with her. The outcome: Today my puppy is one the most praised dogs on the block. Everyone was impressed by how well-behaved, calm and non-reactive he is now, and one of our neighbors even followed our suit to work with Raschel after seeing our success. My Takeaway: there might be a lot of great canine trainers, but Raschel is at the top of her game. She impressed us by these rare characteristics: 1) Owns a great training system: my observation is that dog training for Raschel is beyond behaviors itself, but more of a philosophy of how humans connect and co-exist with their furry companions. Raschel pushes for the mindset changes for the owners which will inevitably translate to their dogs' continuous development on a daily basis. 2) Masters impeccable and personalized communication skills with owners. She was able to communicate in a way which is so easy to grasp for owners and at the same time to establish her credibility seamlessly. Very serious about what she does but also a super kind and lovely person to begin with. 3) Holds a upright value in career and life in general. All in all, I'd recommend Raschel in a heartbeat especially if you'd like to provide your dog a high-quality, joyful and full-filling life which every animal deserves.

I honestly thought Boxers were a stubborn, high energy breed that were hard to manage, and that was that. He was a love around the house but boy would he bark at other dogs. His negative traits didn't stop us from getting Boxer #2. Again, my best buddy at home, but super reactive with other dogs. I tried to train her and sought help from 3 different people. Nothing really worked, and she was impossible to take on walks. A couple years ago, a friend of mine began training g sessions with Little Wolf and I began seeing her and her dog on Facebook. I was in awe of the progress they were making! When I knew I was getting my third Boxer, I contacted Raschel and had a consultation before I brought my puppy home. I didn't waste a minute because I knew I needed all the help I could get. We began our first round of training sessions when Brandy was nine weeks old. My dream was to have a buddy I could take anywhere with me, and thanks to Littke Wolf Pet Care, Brandy goes camping with us, she loves Sam's Chowder House in Half Moon Bay (and any place that allows pets on the patio!), taking walks anywhere, and spending time at my mom's house. Brandy's life has been forever changed for the better because we had the RIGHT trainer. Additionally, I never thought I could have backyard chickens, but I now have 5 chickens and Brandy has yet to bark! Raschel helped me help Brandy be the best dog ever and perfect for me and my family.
