I have seen so much improvement in my dog, Emma. We adopted her from a shelter and in the time she was there she developed a lot of bad habits that were so hard to break that it became beyond me to fix. My boyfriend and I were at our last end with her when we reached out to Theresa. Emma is also training to be a service dog for me so a lot of these training exercises were so crucial for her to learn and perfect before we could continue. Before the training she would jump on people, wouldn’t come to us when we called her, would chew everything up that we owned, would go absolutely ballistic in her kennel when we left, would use the bathroom in the house, and would pull on her leash so hard I would lose circulation in my hand trying to control her. 3 1/2 weeks in and she hasn’t destroyed anything, she doesn’t pull anymore, she walks right at my side, the jumping is minimal, the attention seeking is minimal, she doesn’t bolt out the door and waits for us to call her out the door, the kennel anxiety has dramatically decreased, and we can finally look away from her for 2 seconds without being terrified that she’s going to mess something up or get herself in trouble and we can finally relax. She’s so much more enjoyable to be around now and I think she’s more relaxed as well and she even seems so much happier with us.
