Dear Stephanie,
Thank you so much for training our great Dane, Bella. When we first brought Bella home, we were so unsure of how to handle a dog as big as she! The techniques you have taught her, and us, have made our experience with our new dog more pleasurable that we ever imagined!
After training with you, Bella is now able to hold her “sit” and “down” positions until we tell her “Free!”. She also watches us very closely as we go through doors, often sitting on her own accord before crossing the threshold to insure we cross first! Her recall commands are fantastic; she now always “comes” when called and will “leave-it!” on command. Before your training, Bella would jump on people when she was excited and with a dog as big as Bella, that habit can be quite dangerous. Now, Bella does not jump up at all, even during play. We were most impressed with Bella’s ability to walk on the leash without pulling, and the command “With-me” is very useful on walks when Bella gets distracted. The command “Place” gives us great flexibility while in our household. Through the reinforcement techniques you have taught us, we know how to respond if Bella ever tests us with her old habits. We know how to use positive reinforcement to deepen Bella’s understanding of all these commands.
My husband Zach and I also really enjoy using the clicker to teach Bella tricks; we didn’t realize how smart she is, and how much she enjoys learning. Our favorite tricks that you helped us with are to bark when asked, “Are you hungry?” and “Giddy-up!” We can’t wait to teach her more!
Not only is Bella much more attentive and well behaved, we can also tell that her confidence level has increased. Bella is now a more well-balanced, happy dog, and this is a welcome side effect of the training that we did not anticipate!
Thank you for always answering our questions, and taking our concerns seriously. We appreciate your extension to call you any time for additional help; it is comforting to know you are only a phone call away.
Finally, thank you for all you have done to make Bella a special part of the family.
Sincerely,
Zach and Melanie Swain
