I was really skeptical at first about the online format for training and I also was worried about the cost. The cost is very similar to an in person training experience. I had it in my head that doing the training over zoom would be less effective and not worth the money. After going through the program, I actually think doing dog training over zoom is ideal. I was able to gain knowledge and tools with expert help and guidance from Nate, our trainer. While doing this on zoom our dog could not smell or sense Nate at all. All of the corrections and training were coming directly from me, which helped to establish me as the pack leader. We did have an in person trainer in the past, which was okay, but our dog was only “good” for the trainer. Our dog learned how to behave around that trainer but it never translated to good behavior for me.
I’m glad we decided to give this training a try. We are very pleased with the results. We went from being scared that we would have to give our dog up for adoption due to aggressive behaviors, to now feeling in control. Money well spent.
