Where do I even begin? Do I start by saying both my dog AND I are completely different than from the beginning of training? Do I begin with the fact that I was a crying mess when I first met Gino, with significant fear of walking my dog...and NOW, I feel comfortable walking him around Riverside Arts Market, surrounded by other dogs, and so many other places?
All of that is true - and then some!
Gino (and Halo + friends) have been amazing! He's been kind, patient and very encouraging, as I struggled to figure out if I would even keep my dog after we were charged/attacked. Meeting and training with Gino has been one of the best investments I've made. And it meant that I kept my dog! Gino has been there every step of the way, even when we're doing our homework assignments between lessons. We wouldn't be here without Gino and crew!
With guidance and direction from Gino, I've gone from fear + hysterics to comfort, swag and a joy of walking my dog. My dog and I have learned to "pack walk", control impulses and connect like never before. While you can't control the uncontrollable (or stupid pet owners), Gino has equipped my dog and me with the needed skills to enjoy our walks, all while being safe and alert. Graduating this round of training isn't the end for us and Gino. We look forward to learning more with Gino, in the near future.
I highly recommend Gino and K-PRO9!!! read more
