I want to thank Miguel, my trainer, and Sam Ivy K9 for teaching me the importance of having the skills and tools to assure a long happy life with my dog, Rudy. I thought if I read enough books and watched enough dog training videos, I could master the art of teaching my rambunctious canine to obey me. I couldn’t, because, I fell for the cuteness of a puppy. Rudy was soon training me to what he wanted. Miguel’s instructions, patience, and positive professionalism helped me conquer my insecurities about having a dog with a strong character. I was delighted to learn about Proper Pack Behavior, since this was the problem area for me. Once I started showing my dog, I was in charge, behaviors I didn’t like stated to disappear. He is calmer and likes to snuggle when I invite him. Before it was only play time and mouthing. Miguel is a professional who explained the mystery behind the the commands. I get it now. It is a pleasure to walk my dog, not a chore. It is my job to “ know what is best” for my dog. He in turn will be a great companion. Thank you so much! Looking forward to the next phase!
