Different dogs different trainers and not even close to what I wished for. Thousands of dollars invested and was never able to achieve anything. I saw him in a Park 4 years ago training a dog, when the owner yelled "SIT" to her dog he interrupted kindly and said "we don't yell at our dogs, we speak" and he won me over. I took a picture of his shirt from afar and saved it. As soon as I got my German Shepard puppy I called him. He has changed my life with my dog! I am the happiest I have ever been and enjoy her to the max! People stop me to ask me where I trained her. I no longer fear open doors, people on bikes, other dogs, cats, cars nothing! I continued with the e-collar and just as he said- the e collar will be used less and less each day all while I continue to train her just as he had said. She's been back in my care for 3 months and I sometimes realize we are out without it and she listens just the same. She was a wild puppy and I didn't have high hopes. I will continue with Protection Training as soon as she is ready! If you have any doubt just call him, he is a wonderful human being and he has changed my life! All my dogs will continue to be trained with him! Side note* When picking your dog up he gives you a 3 hours training session in a park off leash!! Yes! You will be trained completely and he pairs your dog to listen to you now... it's magic I swear!

My…read moredog, Wrigley, attended service dog boot camp for an entire month with her wonderful trainers. They set up a consultation to discuss my specific tasks for Wrig to work on to help me have an easier life. Wrigley left me as a highly energetic rescue dog with so much love and no spacial awareness. She was extremely smart but didn't know how to use it. After a month with Cadence K9 she came home a smart, fully aware, still so loving, extremely helpful service dog. They not only taught her basic commands to help me in every day life, but they taught her critical thinking in every day life. She went on field trips to get public training and she absolutely knew when she was working and when she wasn't. I was blown away. Just a week or so ago, several months after her training camp, Wrigley and I were out and about shopping. I was standing at a counter purchasing something and Wrigley noticed people walking close behind me. She switched on her own and made herself a protective barrier between me and the crowd. Not long after that I was walking through a restaurant and tripped and fell on a rug. Wrigley ran to the nearest person and got their attention to come help me up. I'm not sure how you train a dog to do that specifically, but I do know they helped Wrigley understand her purpose and role in life when she is working for me. For that I am forever grateful to the wonderful trainers at Cadence K9! They changed Wrigleys life and have helped my life so much! I will always recommend the amazing trainers at Cadence K9 and I think Wrigley's overwhelming excitement every time she sees one of the trainers will back me up on that.

We took both puppy kindergarten and basic…read moredoggy manners with PlayTrainDog, and we're so happy Susan helped give our Willow such a positive start in life. We adopted Willow when she was 8 weeks old. Before her, we had a wonderful dog who unfortunately had some fear issues with other dogs. We knew we needed positive socialization for Willow as early in life as possible, so we looked for the best training experience to get her into as soon as she was ready. We're so glad we found Susan. Willow loved her weekend training sessions at the park with her new friends so much. Being able to learn and play with other well behaved pups in such a positive group setting was an invaluable experience that we absolutely treasure. Puppy kindergarten really helped with basic socialization. Willow was shy when she was little. She hid under our lawn chair during part of the first class and just watched the other puppies from a safe place. In the group classes Susan made sure puppies were matched with others close to their own size and energy level, so shyer puppies could have a low key, non threatening introduction to each other. Gradually Willow gained confidence around even friskier pups, and now she loves other dogs of all sizes and energy levels, so much. She will actually try to match herself to the other dogs, so she is happy to frisk with high energy dogs, but with smaller or even shy big dogs, she'll lay down and play gently at their level. One of the first things she learned in puppy class was the Touch command, and that has really helped with her confidence and manners when meeting people. We didn't realize how important this command was, until after she had graduated from the puppy classes, and we took a trip to visit family. She was 8 months old and had already gained a lot of confidence from classes. But unexpectedly, we had not one but two different grownup male relatives who love dogs, but thought it would be fun to play-bark at her. She got really nervous around them, and afterward when we took her in public during that trip, she became suspicious when meeting men and even growled when a large man she didn't know approached her. We went back to basics and asked family as well as new people to introduce themselves by putting their hand out, and asked her to "Touch" their hand. This put her more in charge of the interaction, and allowed her to feel more relaxed and confident around new people. Now she has really gotten past that anxiety. She is so happy to meet people and dogs that when she gets close to them, she often melts into a lay-down while doing a full body wag-crawl toward them, to show how much she wants to meet and be friends. Lol. We also learned the 'Watch Me' command, which helps in so many situations. It helps to refocus and connect during walks, and when we're out in public if she's becoming distracted or excited. It helps 'get her head back in the game' so to speak. Together with 'leave-it', it helps with impulse control, so she can focus on me and remember her training. We learned so much in these classes but it's funny that the most basic things are proving to be the most important every day. In Basic Doggy Manners, we built on earlier skills and learned to help her be a better companion out in the world. She learned a solid heel, loose-leash walking, and a 3-second recall. She learned to pass other dogs or distractions without pulling, and working dog commands so we can communicate non-verbally, or at a distance. All these things we practice every day, and it helps build our bond always using positive reinforcement and life rewards. Willow is a border collie and a big thing for her is pulling toward things that roll, ie bicycles, roller skaters, trucks, golf carts, motorcycles. Susan helped us address this and learn how to help her, so she can be safer in public with us. We are still working on this, but so glad we have the tools to help her, and are seeing improvement. In addition to all these things, we learned to apply the 3 D's of dog training (distance, distraction, duration) throughout her training activities, and learned to use life rewards to motivate her. Willow isn't very food motivated, but she is very play-motivated, so we learned to use that to reward her for mastering new behaviors. This is a lot I know, but I'm leaving out so much more that we learned. We had so much fun and learned so much in these training sessions, and we practice and continue to build on the things we learned every day. We treasure the experience and absolutely recommend Susan's PlayTrainDog classes for anyone who wants to give their puppy the best possible start in life.
