“We were given a lovely poodle who was about 1 1/2 years old. In the past, we have always trained our dogs ourselves with great success. People have always been impressed with how well-mannered they were. Not the case with our new family member, Kali! In spite of our past successes, we became increasingly discouraged in helping her to be a good dog and the freedom those behaviors would provide for her and for us.
We turned to Paige to help us with Kali's very challenging habits and behaviors. From jumping, demand barking, mouthing, and not coming when called. We were not having success in making significant gains in any of these areas. Paige worked with Kali once a week and then we practiced the skills. Kali made consistent improvement and our last session was with Paige to complete our training to cement our "parenting" skills.
We would never have believed that Kali would come this far. We are able to have her off leash and around other dogs and people. She remains a strong willed and enthusiastic dog. Her spirit has definitely not been broken. She now enjoys the freedom that being a good dog gives her!
Paige is punctual and gives feedback, both visual and verbal, on every lesson that she does. When we had to reschedule, she was very accommodating. She is very professional and dependable.”
