Real Clients, Real Stories
“We learned effective tools and techniques to get a better handle on our very active Australian Cattle Dog. Leader of the Pack’s approach is positive and realistic. Positive in the sense that she doesn’t use choke collars or do any shock treatments! The focus is picking a word that you assign to certain behaviors and train the dog with treats and praise to understand what you want them to do. Realistic in the sense that she understands that your dog is your pet and part of your pack, and though you need to become the leader of your pack, as owners we weren’t scolded for wanting our dog on the couch or to sleep at the bottom of the bed or to give them love–just make them earn it first with a few quick commands. All around, it worked out great! We did 4 sessions and we really feel we have better control over our dog and our pack is happier because of it!!!”
