Before I bought the course, I was skeptical of the claims that I read. Now I believe them all. As I had said to my trainer Gina, "It's like suddenly becoming wealthy." I chose the off-leash training course and now Charlie rarely wears a halter as most of his daily activity is in the backyard. Taking him out is no longer anything like a "okay, walk the dog" chore. I open the door, we spend five minutes in the backyard, he runs around, and then comes back in. I do that generally six times a day or night. He still wears a halter and leash in public. A strong part of the results are that Charlie is far more confident in himself and his vast doggy powers and abilities, and he loves being able to learn new things and overcome his need to be right next to me all the time. Watching him evolve into the dog that he has become was terrific. He would do his "happy dance" when he mastered a new skill, and was delighted with his progress. The training started indoor and then moved to outdoor. I learned an amazing amount about dog behavior. To wit: Not having an Alpha leader creates stress because they have to (to a degree) step into that role. Also, the prong collar, which mimics a nip by the Alpha, gives them the structure and confidence needed when (in the early indoor stages) learning a new skill. My goal now is to build on what we have learned in the 20 sessions and (to a degree) set up "rally-o" and "agility" training and obstacles in the 3/4 of an acre backyard. For some reason the machine is not letting me upload photos of my seven year old 22 pound fluffy white dog, who is a Cavachon, that being 1/2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and 1/2 Bichon. I highly recommend the course.
