AMAZING, EFFICIENT, AND FUN!!!
This is an unbelievable, life-changing story that happened just after we had finished our fourth lesson with Jordyn. We took Darbie, our seven year old German Shepherd/Husky mix rescue to her because we were excited that we might be able to finally train Darbie out of pulling on the leash and jumping on people when they would greet her. We had tried training with Darbie before, but because she is so headstrong and it was so physically demanding to consistently correct her with a leash, the busyness of life soon took over and we settled for a sweet dog that would sit occasionally:)
On top of this, Darbie is an escape artist, always looking for the nearest exit due to her Husky heritage. One pitch black night recently, I took her outside to do her business before going to bed. She had her leash on her but I had already taken her K9 training collar off for the evening. She heard some wildlife in the adjoining woods, broke away from me and "ran for the hills", into the night. She was gone! Desperately, I called to her: "Darbie come come! Come come!", over and over. Incredibly, less than 60 seconds later I heard her leash trailing through the underbrush, and there she was!
What is amazing about this story, is that, at this relatively beginning point in our training, she actually heard my voice over the wildlife distraction in the woods, and responded. In the past, that would NEVER happen, no matter how loud or long we called her.
Now, three weeks from that night, I am working with her off leash regularly with the training collar on in the neighborhood park and areas without fencing and she is loving the training! She is responding consistently to distances half an acre away, as far as I can go in my visual field. She heals beautifully on the leash, and although we have not worked on it, no longer gets in the trash!
Training is fun, as long as the owner is consistent. It requires very little physical effort on my part. I wish we had had this training available to us from day one. Darbie is much more happy now, more settled, and just seems to "get it" all the way around. Kudos to Jordyn and Team Pawparazzi! read more
