Stand Proud Dog Training is absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend them!…read more Luna is my second Weimaraner, so this is not my first experience with professional dog training. With my first Weimaraner, I did both private training and board-and-train, so I definitely had something to compare this experience to. The results with Stand Proud have been incredible. After just one month of training, I could immediately see and feel a huge difference in Luna. She came home more confident, responsive, well-behaved, and so much easier to communicate with. What I especially appreciate is that Stand Proud doesn't just train your dog. They teach you the principles and tools you need to continue the training at home. As long as you continue applying what they teach you, the results are truly amazing. I am extremely impressed with the level of training, knowledge, care, and professionalism at Stand Proud. Luna has become such a wonderful dog, and I am so grateful for everything they have done for her and for us. Thank you, Stand Proud! You guys are absolutely amazing at what you do. I would recommend you 100%!

We did reinforce his training but it took a very short time before he knew exactly what we were asking of him. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! The owner and trainers are AMAZING!!

I'm attaching his response and raising my review score from one to three - can't do better as I really haven't even visited the place, but I appreciate that he made an effort to make things right: Good Morning Rob & Darcy: Thank you for your sincere advice. I apparently have not communicated as well as I should have and for that I apologize. Your comment regarding why we have dogs here for so long requires an explanation. Almost without exception every dog in our rescue has come from a shelter and was on the euthanasia list, usually within a 24 hour kill time. They have a variety of behavioral issues, either human and/or animal aggression as well as underlying medical issues, ie. hypothyroidism epilepsy, etc. It takes a long time for us to rehabilitate them. Many have to go to a home where there cannot be other animals, cannot be around young children, etc. In addition there are neighborhoods that have CC&Rs that are breed restrictive, weight restrictions, etc. Even owner surrenders many times have significant behavioral issues, mostly as a result of lack of training. It takes us a long time to diagnose the underlying issues, both physiological and psychological and begin the rehabilitation process. All dogs that we rescue receive a complete veterinary examination, in addition to vaccinations, microchipping, heart worm testing (if from CA). Some dogs because of their age, behavioral characteristics are just not good candidates for rehoming and so they end up on the sanctuary side, where they can exercise, play, and interact with us and our volunteers but are a risk to be out in the general public. We have had many dogs that we have been able to adopt out in a month or two after our evaluation and training is complete. Everything just takes time. On average we receive one to two calls daily from the SPCA, NHS, local and out of state shelters asking if we can rescue a dog(s) as they know we specialize in GSDs and working breeds. This is in addition to owner surrenders and occasionally we find dogs chained up and abandoned outside our property. So, we try to do the best that we can. I hope this gives you a bit of insight into our process and what we deal with on a daily basis. In closing I wish you best with your new pup and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Sincerely, Gordon Hutting Cold Nose Rescue & Sanctuary

I was extremely impressed with Scott. In just one hour, he was able to help my family tremendously…read morewith our dog. I reached out to Scott after adopting a shelter dog who had previously been a stray and struggles with severe separation anxiety, fear, and boundaries with other dogs. Scott responded immediately and was able to come to our home for an in-home training session within just a couple of days. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. Before working with Scott, our dog essentially ran the house and would constantly bully and overwhelm our smaller dogs. We noticed a significant improvement before the session was even over. He stopped bullying the other dogs, respected their boundaries, and was noticeably calmer. Scott also helped us recognize things we were doing as dog owners that were unintentionally reinforcing some of the behaviors we were trying to stop. He explained everything clearly and gave us practical techniques to continue using after the session. I definitely recommend Scott to anyone struggling with their dog's behavior. He is friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and amazing with dogs. I honestly did not expect to see such a noticeable difference after only one session!
