My boyfriend and I got our Chocolate Labrador, Bubby, when he was 10 months old last November…read more Bubby is extremely sweet and smart, sometimes a little too smart for his own good! We quickly realized that we needed some help with his training, and that is when I found Brassy's Paw Army. When I first met Brizza and introduced her to Bubby, she immediately understood what he needed. The truth was, Bubby needed better guidance, but so did I.
We had HUGE problems with recall, staying, down, sitting, drop, and honestly, anything you could think of. A lot of the problem was that I simply wasn't giving him the right guidance or communicating with him the way he needed. From our very first training session, Bubby started learning and understanding. We started small with things like heel, place, and getting him comfortable with his e-collar. At the beginning, I didn't realize just how much those small commands would change everything in the end. Fast forward to now, and Bubby can be completely free off leash. He understands heel, down, and place. He stopped jumping on people, knows when it is time to settle down, and understands when it is bedtime instead of playtime. Most importantly, he is now using his intelligence in the best way possible. He loves having commands to follow and absolutely loves showing off his tricks! Bubby and I both struggled throughout this process, but the Paw Army NEVER gave up on either of us. They were understanding, communicative, supportive, and always willing to help. They taught me that training isn't just about teaching the dog. It is also about teaching the owner how to communicate, lead, and understand their dog.
I am incredibly grateful for Brizza, Brass, and the entire Paw Army. I will always support and recommend them to anyone who needs training, support, or even just has questions about their dog. If you are looking for more than just dog training, definitely check them out! They offer multiple services including dog training, overnight dog care, pool & beach days for your furry babies, and Turbo Paws. If your dog needs exercise but you have work, errands, or simply need an hour to yourself, check out Turbo Paws! They do the work, your dog gets the exercise, and you get the results.
Thank you, Brassy's Paw Army, for helping Bubby become the best version of himself and for helping me become a better dog owner along the way. We will always be part of the Paw Army!
