We sent our tenacious labrabull Isis to Dave after having difficulties on walks and hikes. Isis is a sweet girl but very nervous/anxious. On walks she would pull, bark, and become aggressive towards other dogs she would see. When she met people Isis would become overly excited, kissing, jumping, and inadvertently scratching an arm or leg (sorry Dave). We called Dave and set up an in-home evaluation.
Dave came and met with us and Isis. He was very knowledgeable dogs in general and about dog nutrition and safety. He even took a look at out backyard for thorns that could get stuck in a dog's paw. After evaluating Isis he recommended the 2 week boot camp that would teach her basic obedience and some manners. We trusted Dave and took a chance sending Isis with him that same day. We went over the contract, paid a deposit, and went over her health conditions and eating schedule. With that, Isis left us for 2 weeks!
During those 2 weeks Dave was easy to get a hold of, and returned calls and texts. He even purchased Isis' specific dog food when she ran out.
When we went to pick Isis up, Dave first worked Isis and then reunited us. What a difference in our girl! Immediately we could tell she was a changed dog. She didn't jump on us! She also heeled beautifully and followed all the other commands. After being reunited, Dave trained us on the methods and handling of the leash. He was very patient and encouraging during the lesson.
Since being back Isis has been more calm and listens to her commands. We have been working with her and her commands both in the yard and on walks. Thanks to Dave Isis now has a foundation from which she can only get better.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Dave and his training. Do know though that you as the dog owner have to take a proactive role and that Dave gives you and your dog the tools to work together.
Thanks Dave and Loyal K-9!
