Dog training testimonial from Ryan and Jennifer in Pacific Beach (PB)
Jennifer and I wanted to thank you for your work with Otis. The training you conducted combined with the tips on how to keep Otis occupied and happy have worked beautifully. As you know, French Bulldogs can be very stubborn, and your training techniques made such an improvement in his behavior and were very easy for us to follow as owners.
Otis is now great on walks, around the house, and has adapted wonderfully to our new baby boy. Thank you so much for all you have done.
Thanks again,
Ryan, Jennifer, Cole, and Otis

Dog Training Customer Testimonial From Nikki, Gerardo, & ‘Myo’ in La Mesa, CA
My husband and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your service. We are expecting our 1st baby in July and our objective was to make sure that we knew how to maintain good lines of communication between us and our dog Myo. It had been years since our dog had any formal training and he is stubborn. Rob initially came over for a Free In-Home Demonstration and assessed our concerns. He also demonstrated his methods with one of his dogs. We have been working with Lose The Leash since March and Myo has improved leaps and bounds! By using the special collar we are able to better communicate with Myo as well as get his attention in the event he gets distracted. This ability to capture his attention coupled with our constancy to use the same commands has allowed us to keep Myo engaged and follow our lead. We are even more excited to report that Myo has been successful off leash. Myo just turned 8 Years old and I have always been way too nervous to try this and he is now having a blast at the group classes playing with the other dogs and we are still able to have him come to us at our request. Our only regret is that we did not do this sooner! We would recommend Erin & Rob to anyone interested in 1st time training, refresher training, and/or socializing activities for your dog(s). This has been a great experience! Thank you.
Sincerely,
Nikki, Gerardo, & Myo
La Mesa, CA
