I did the thing I said I'd never do and got another dog. I couldn't help it, he was a puppy, he was…read morein the shelter, I didn't have a chance! When we arrived home I quickly remembered puppies are like toddlers and almost had a panic attack. I quickly signed up for the 7-week puppy course at Homeland K9 based on the recommendations of friends. This business is locally and veteran owned. Both Mike and his wife Kim are well known in the community and would do anything for you. The class size is limited and there are 4 dogs in our current class which is necessary due to trying to teach h new puppies (really it's about teaching the puppy owners but we won't tell them that). In our last class we were all amazing at the differences we have seen in our dogs already. We've received a collar, leash, and a "place" cot. By week 5 our dogs are all able to heel, sit, down, and place. Even when Mike tries to distract them. Do go into this thinking it's magic. You do have to put the work in to make it work, but if you do you will prevent a lot of problems in the future. He does have other classes for older dogs but this is the only class I've had first hand knowledge in. Very glad we are doing this!

Elissa is a thorough, skilled and caring trainer. She listened to my concerns/needs. After meeting…read moreme and my dog, she developed a workable plan that met my rewards-based method preference. I rescued an 11-month German Shorthaired Pointer who had a very high prey drive and absolutely no recall. My GSP is now a reliable trail and beach dog who responds to a code word ("Come" no longer worked when we met Elissa.) and/or whistle. Elissa worked with us 4-5 times, but mostly she gave me the understanding, skills and followup exercises to work with my dog myself. She explained behavior theory behind the exercises, showed me how to properly carry them out. She followed each training session with detailed notes and other resources. Success wasn't instant, but steady. With Elissa's help, I have a trustworthy companion whom I feel comfortable letting off leash.

I had her in training early on elsewhere and she did very well with basic training however I tried everything to stop the biting to no avail. A friend suggested Carla with Positive Paws. Amazing results. Bella was found to have anxiety and was unable to calm herself down which resulted in biting. Carla taught me how to calm Bella. She gave me the tools to help Bella. It's hard work but I have answers and a solid plan of action.
