She’s a Pit Bull but doesn’t know it…

Posted by on Feb 23rd, 2010 | no comments

Hello, I wanted to write a brief testimonial about my dog Chloe and the training I chose for her. She is a Pit Bull but does not know it. And I plan to keep it that way because I got her enrolled with two great trainers, Erin and Rob, a couple who are: Losetheleash.com with a great approach to training dogs, any kind, any issue, any age or breed.

It is a training with reward recognition for your dog, a training on how to get your dog’s attention and response to commands.

I have confidence that with their guidance and teaching me how to approach my dog’s different behavior challenges I will succeed in having the ability on doing what is needed for a happier Chloe. 

Training is disciplining your dog how to behave and enjoy outdoor activities, be around other dogs and share their spaces, also training is disciplining us the owners/parents  on what to do in any situation so that your pet can have a better and happier life.

Thank you.

Deborah Tebet, Chloe and Cowley too!

What Our Clients Are Saying    ANY DOG CAN BE TRAINED!   “Many other trainers wouldn’t even see my husky/wolf hybrid because they said they were feral dogs. Erin told me right off the bat that any dog can be trained:) I was so relieved. My dog is so gentle and loving and has great manners and listening skills thanks to Erin and Robs help. I highly recommend them for any dog! Plus, they are always available by phone to help with any questions you may have.” Shannon B. —————————————————————————————————   WE TRAIN BIG DOGS TOO!     “When we rescued our 118 lb, 9 month old mixed breed dog from the pound he was out of control, attention starved and desperately needing obedience training. Having previously had giant breed dogs, my husband and I attempted to train him ourselves using methods that worked for us before. We then tried treat training, click training, choke collars, prong collars and “no pull halters” with no positive result. In a final desperate act to avoid returning him to the pound, we called Erin. After an amazing demo with her well trained dog, we signed up. It took some work to retrain how we dealt with him and many hours of dedication, but today we have a 210 lb, 3 year old companion that listens and is a joy to be around. He has come so far and we really could not have done it without Erin.” -Elizabeth —————————————————————————————————-  NO MORE LEASH PULLING!   “Hi Rob,   Just wanted you to know how much the training has meant to me and the dogs. It was well worth the training so that we can go for nice long walks on the weekends and we are all happy.  I’m sure I could have ended up with a broken bone or worse from the falls of being pulled over without your great training.    We are doing great and will be back soon I hope to learn more.   Thanks again for all you have taught us.”   Marilyn R.
