To Whom It May Concern:
In January of 2004, we brought two 7-week old German Shepard puppies to share our home with our 9 year-old Golden Retriever/Chow Chow mix. Add into that equation a 4 year-old little boy and a 7 year old daughter, and you can see that we had our hands full. It became apparent quite early on that we had taken on a lot.
The puppies were so cute and grew quite quickly. The turning point in our training happened one day when we were at the vet for shots. The vets office was particularly busy that day with dogs and cats everywhere. While we waited for our appointment, we could not get our dogs to stop barking. They were so distracted by all of the other animals they would not listen to us. We were mortified when the vet staff asked if we could wait outside until they were ready for us.
Our vet recommended David. She said that our German Shepards would be very large and getting them in control now would be a very important part of their training. We called David and after talking with him signed on for classes in our home. Immediately during our first “class” we saw a dramatic difference. Our dogs were listening to us. We worked on listening, watching, walking, sit, stay, down, etc. The big test came when the dogs were due back at the vet for their next shots. We knew they were listening much better to us, but we weren’t sure what would happen when they were distracted. The vet’s office went perfectly. In fact, the vet staff asked if they were the same dogs!
David has continued to work with us over the years as challenges arise. Today the puppies are 3 and half years old and weigh 125 lbs and 95 lbs. Our Golden is 60 lbs. Keeping 280 lbs of dogs in line requires a great teacher. We couldn’t have done this without David. He is a truly a dog owners best friend.
Warm regards,
