Doug

I wanted to let you know how much Harry, my Yorkie and I appreciate your hard work with us.  I have read many books, and never felt I could connect with my dog.  Through your training and canine instinct I have formed a bond of my own with my beloved pet.  Seeing him in the backseat of my car, no longer with anxiety makes me happy.  Walking into my house and not having to look into every room for a mishap makes me proud.  You have given us strength and confidence and I don't know how to repay you.  I just wanted to say Thankyou for improving my life.

I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you.  As you know, I did bring
both of my dogs to your boot camps and not only did it help my dogs, it also
helped me tremendously.  My dogs are both rescues and I tend to be a bit
"softer" with them than I should be because I do make the mistake of feeling
bad that they had tough starts to their lives.  As much as I wanted to think
I did, I did not really communicate with my dogs in a way they understood,
nor did I fully take the role of alpha with them.  Your boot camps
definitely helped me step up and start to be the leader my dogs need and
want me to be.
I look forward to having you work more with me and my dogs.

After getting lucky (again) when our dog bit someone and it wasn't reported we knew we had to take drastic steps.  We knew it was just a matter of time before there would be a more serious incident, and we did not want to lose our dog or our house.  We went to Craigslist looking for help, and thank God someone recommended Doug to us.  He spent over 3 hours with us in the first session to get a full understanding of what the different situations were, how we interacted with our dog, and how the dog acted in response.  Doug says that he rehabilitates dogs but that it's the owners that he trains, and he's absolutely right.  And I was amazed that I could already see a huge difference in my dog the next day when we went for a walk.
Using the techniques and overall attitude that Doug taught us we no longer have to worry about how our dog will act when we pass someone (or some dog) on the sidewalk when it's dark.  We know that Wrigley will come when we call him, and that what makes him the most at ease is doing what we want him to do.

Thanks Doug, you've really saved us!
