This was not the right program for our bichon mix. Our main reason for seeking a board and train…read moreprogram was help with potty training which means the trainer needs to place them on a schedule. This did not happen. Our dog came home with a scab on his neck from the E-collar which has made me choose not to even keep up with this form of training. If the collar doesn't hurt them then why does our dog have a visible injury on his neck. He came home more anxious and trembling which he never did before when we reprimanded him. I believe our dog was one of many dogs and they should not have taken on more than one dog at a time. This program was a waste of $2600 and our dog spent 18 days away from us only to come home not potty trained with no schedule. The owner Daniel was not apologetic and defensive of his program. He never apologized for my dog sustaining an injury from their e-collar usage. I absolutely do not recommend this type of training for small, companion dogs. Our dog is stubborn because the breed is notorious for that but he should have been sent home if he wasn't responding well to training. Instead the collar was mis-used and I don't trust anything related to this method or company any more.

I can't even express how glad I am that we found Dawn! Her training style and personality fit perfectly with ours. Dawn has a special gift and connection with dogs, our Bentley (8 month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) absolutely loved her. Everything about her training made sense, from start to finish, as she explained (and re-explained, if necessary). She bonded with our Bentley, he came to respect what she was teaching and he was willing to please and obey when she was with him. Dawn gave us homework each week, with handouts as reminders, and did a recap at the beginning of the following week. After training hours, she even sent us a video of her demonstrating the process with her own dog once when we couldn't quite get a certain technique. We didn't always do our homework 100%, but Dawn was able to move forward and teach Bentley the next lessons. We have a lot to learn still and it is a daily learning process for both dog and owner, but are thrilled that we met Dawn. I am already considering bringing her back for a recap and tweaking in a few months. I highly recommend Dawn and Coast Dogs, no reservations whatsoever. You will not be disappointed and you will get results.

I am very sorry to say that her way was not the best way for my dog and none of my dogs issues were solved or even came close by the time the class was done. I noticed that none of the dogs in our class were any better. Most didn't even show up to graduation. Since her classes - i have learned so much by watching Cesar Millan videos and applying those techniques to my dogs issues. The results have been amazing. My dog is not one to learn from the nice approach (which is Meg's method). My dog needed the pack leader approach - I am now the pack leader.

She has, however, progressively begun aggressive behaviour towards other dogs, and manipulative behaviour with us over the last year and we were at wits end to try to effect a change. Another local trainer who doesn't handle aggression referred us to Cheryl at Last Paw who met with us for an evaluation session within a couple of days. Cheryl quickly identified 'in-house' manipulative behaviour that Tessa was doing to control us and showed us how easy it was to begin to modify. We have booked several follow-up sessions to work on the dog-on-dog issues. Cheryl is an animal psychology professional, and I do not use this term lightly. If you meet her you will quickly learn how little most of us understand about simple bad habits in owner behaviour that enable all the undesirable habits in our dogs. She is very gentle but assertive and had our Tessa eating out of her hand in minutes. My wife asked her to move in with us. We look forward to our next session in a couple of days.

-------------------------------------…read more Haus Brezel German Shepherds www.hausbrezel.com ------------------------------------ Before I met Toni Brezel over the phone, I had been talking to Angelika Clark, the General Manager at QUALITY K-9 Training in Phoenix, inquiring about puppy training that we'll be doing later on this year once our puppy arrives home from the breeder. Tino and Angelika Clark own Quality K-9 Training and Tino trained Ustinov, Toni's 2011 SW Seiger Champion German Shepherd. When we were almost finished, I asked her if she was familiar with any GSD (German Shepherd Dog) breeders in AZ. She said, "No, not in AZ. If we were buying a German Shepherd, we'd go with Toni Brezel at Haus Brezel German Shepherds in Sarasota Florida." Well, THAT was all I needed. From the first call, to the one just earlier this month (August 2016) Toni has been helpful in our pursuit to find "just the right" puppy. Check out her website and give her a call. She's accessible, professional and good at what she does. Whether you're looking for a Show line, Service Dog, Family protector or Family companion, Toni's good at picking out the right pup. -------------------- TIPS ON NEW PUPPY COMING HOME: "A tired dog IS a well-behaved, content dog." German Shepherds need a lot of daily exercise, both as a puppy AND as an adult. This is the reason they're best suited for active outdoor families and individuals. Having them properly trained also, is not optional. Call around, check prices, even before choosing a breeder so that your "training cost" is factored into your overall budget. Then you won't have "sticker shock" after she get's home and you suddenly decide she's a little too rambunctious...in need of a bit of training. LOL Puppies "pack on" 10 pounds every month for the first 5 months before their growth spurt begins slowing down. They're considered fully grown between 18 and 24 months and since they grow SO QUICKLY it's imparitive to use a quality LARGE BREED puppy food with "real food" ingredients, until they reach 18 months. Their FAST GROWING bones depend on the quality ingredients found in Specialty Pet Stores. This is how you give your GSD the best possible start. Check out CHEWY.COM for dog food brands for their quality and prices. My husband and I are learning a lot about "everything dog" from CHEWY.COM Then if possible, find the nearest Specialty Pet Store and see what they have to offer. My family and have gained so much knowledge from every dog expert we meet and talk with. AND it's always good to keep your money in your own community when possible. It brings a better economy to your area. Start training the first week he/she is home and enroll in a group puppy class right after the 3rd set of immunizations. They'll learn more than neat tricks while they're in class. They get the much needed socialization with other dogs and different types of people which is a requirement to have a well adjusted GSD with an excellent temperament. They have a brilliant mind so..."If you DON'T train him, HE'LL have YOU trained in no time." You will reap the benefits of having a happy, healthy and content GSD for well beyond a decade to come. -----------------------
