I understand why they have 5 stars. Everyone there is absolutely amazing, professional, well educated on dog behavior and how to manage and train them. I was skeptical at first,,, but after talking to Kat and Mikalia I was ready. They took time to explain the process and what I should expect from training; and daily updates would be provided.
My primary concerns were her possibly becoming passive if the training was aggressive or overwhelming (because she is a very outgoing and happy dog), I was concerned about her jumping on people, pulling while walking, and overall ignoring me. Bella was projected to worked with everyone there Kat, Makila, Halie, and Atavia.
Training :
Week one
Every day Bella was a happy girl!
There's a weekly meeting with the trainer , pet and pet parents. I hadn't had my meeting yet however overall Bella would come home and sitting on her cot without being told.
Bella was more calm and content with sitting on her cot/place. I was surprised because she always preferred the sofa.
Week 2
Bella is still a very happy girl !! While dropping her off she was happy and walked away without looking back at me.
I noticed our walks at home were much better and her pulling was much less..
Week 3
Everyday she is still my happy Bella.
I couldn't take her to public places without the stress of her pulling and trying to say hi to everyone around her. By week 3 almost zero pulling on her leash during walks, we were going to the pet store and she is more focused. She did not stop to say hi unless someone said something to her and I also stopped... at the end of week 3 I took Bella to the beach... she sat in the wagon and never tried to jump out while I was pulling (this use to be a nightmare) . After we were settled Bella sat calmly on the blanket with my sister and I .... Several people actually stopped to say how well behaved she is...
I wish I would have found K9 aholics in Norfolk VA sooner. But I'm happy to I finally did. Well worth it.. Bella is still in training , and she is doing great!! read more
