We did the package were the dog goes to then for 8 hours x 3 days with a week in between for practice at home. It's really quite impressive the things these guys teach. Now, I'm not saying we didn't have to work hard to get there, it took a lot of practice and we have to continue to practice. But the change is amazing. I actually like having a dog now. Before, with all the biting, that was questionable. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who has an unruly dog. Edit: I'm not sure when I wrote this review originally as it seemed to be saved in the "unfinished reviews" section , but it still stands true over a year after we finished the training.

Teddy was completely unreceptive to my own attempts at training. As he grew larger and stronger, I knew that it was time to call in the professional. That is when Eric came into our lives and changed everything! Teddy was impossible to walk and was so forceful with me that I physically couldn't handle him. In addition, he would run full speed towards my young children - his 85 pounds knocking them down and eliciting tears and screams. Eric was absolutely incredible!!! Not only did Teddy immediately respond to him, but so did I. Eric taught Teddy in a patient, direct, and consistent way. He also taught me what to do, so that Teddy and I could work together effectively in his absence. Eric was also great at explaining the dog's nature and instincts, and why it makes sense to approach training in the way that he does. My 4 and 7 year old are obsessed with Teddy and are excited to play with him every single day now that he is gentle. Walking him both on and off leash is a pleasure. The crazy dog that seemed to be too much to handle, is simply a joy now. He still has that spunky, goofy, lovable energy. The difference is that now, he has the ability to listen and respect me. Eric handled Teddy in such a caring and compassionate way. Teddy absolutely LOVES Eric and is always excited to see and work with him. His passion for animals is undeniable!!! It is this fondness that clearly drives his mission to help each family achieve their goals. For anyone considering using Eric Beck for the training needs, I urge you to begin! Your life will change in such a positive way - you will be able to enjoy your furry friend in the manner that you always hoped to! Thank you for everything, Eric!!!

My love of dogs led me to a career as a professional dog trainer, and I was fortunate to meet and work with some amazing dog and people customers. Almost every day I was asked for advice and recommendations for care for their dogs. Many people did not want to put their dogs in a kennel, but they did not have other viable options for care. I saw firsthand dogs that were incredibly stressed from being in a traditional kennel environment and it broke my heart. FlipFlop® is the perfect solution. In fact, my family and I loved the idea so much; we decided to become part-time Companions in the summer of 2011. We really enjoyed having friendly dogs in our home for sleepovers and it was a great way to keep our aging Rottweiler, Shelby, on her toes. After such a positive experience as a FlipFlop® Companion Family and researching the benefits of owning a FlipFlop® franchise, making the decision to purchase FlipFlop® of the Lakeshore was easy. Being Companions ourselves we know that the dogs are taken care of properly and are relaxed and happy when they go home. We also recognize that the experience gives FlipFlop's® Customers peace of mind knowing their furry family member is spoiled and loved. In spring of 2011, FlipFlop® of the Lakeshore was open for business...
