In fact, on the day of our consult he took the opportunity to sneak out of the garage door and take a tour of our new neighborhood, nearly getting struck by a car as we frantically tried to catch him. When we started training, it was clear that he had the desire to learn and work, we just had to learn how to help him. Einstein didn't just train our dog, they trained US. Now, we are confident in allowing him out in our backyard without a lead, knowing we have the ability to recall him to the house without him running off. Our young daughter can walk him on his leash without being pulled, and he greets people politely without knocking them down. More so, he is a happier, more confident dog now that he knows his "job".

I met Dan and Rachael in Las Vegas, Nevada. I had adopted a Dalmatian, Lady, from a local shelter…read more She was clearly abused by a male and had no formal training before. She would run and hide anytime a new person came to the house and wouldn't stop barking if the new person was a male. She had eaten two parts of our brand new couch, ate her way out of a plastic kennel, bent the wire kennel with her teeth, ate anything we left out on the counter when she wasn't being directly supervised, and used the carpet as her personal bathroom. Rachel did our evaluation and she impressed us so much that we signed up that night. A WEEK after starting with these two, Lady was walking on a leash without pulling, sitting on command, and accepting friendly strangers. We are now able to leave Lady in a kennel for a few hours at a time without her getting out of it or hurting herself. She no longer has any accidents in the house and has awesome manners when meeting other new dogs. Three months after working with them, Lady passed the Canine Good Citizen Test with flying colors, and its all thanks to Dan and Rachael!

They sent me lengthy videos keeping me informed of how and what they are doing to help us move forward. These videos addressed each problem separately to help me understand her behaviors and how to correct them. Pointing out her underlying issues leading to the undesirable behaviors.

Trainer is only good with push button shepherds. I took our puppy there initially for a board and…read moretrain and although the first time around seemed fine the second was not. Second time around I came to pick my dog up and she was FILTHY and SKINNY. She knew we were coming, it wasn't like we arrived early by surprise. She quickly pulled my dog from the kennel, called her dumb for rolling in her filth right in front of me then proceeded to give her an ice cold bath with a hose. My puppy had ribs and backbones showing and I asked how she could be so skinny. Anna said she didn't know as she was feeding her "extra". I find this hard to believe as my dog has never been underweight when fed per my instructions. To add to my horror, she recounted how a husky she was training turned on her and bit her ankle. She laughed as she told me how she "beat the shit" out of the dog during and after the incident. I was speechless and knew at that moment we wouldn't be returning. Anyway, despite the progress she'd made with my dog, she'd constantly refer to her as "dumb". As a first time dog owner, I initially wasn't sure if any of this was normal behavior for a trainer, so I said nothing. Now having had my dog for years I can easily say Anna isn't the trainer you want unless you have a well bred, pushbutton shepherd. I have no problem with aversive training, but if aversive to you means beating and yanking on a dog to get them to deliver, count me out.
