I brought my 1 year old German Shepherd to her with a laundry list of behavioral issues, mainly arising out of no opportunities for socialization and never being left alone due to Covid keeping us at home all the time. He's been home for 2 weeks now and his behavior/obedience is simply night and day. I opted for the 3 week overnight training because I knew he would need at least that much hands on training to permanently correct some of his bad habits. Once I decided to do it, I started dreading the day I dropped him off and worried, worried, worried he was going to be depressed and traumatized and think I had abandoned him. There was none of that, zero. Maureen absolutely loves dogs, not surprisingly, and has at least 4 of her own fur kids, so she's completely empathetic and intuitive when it comes to these concerns and she goes above and beyond to accommodate both you and your pup and communicate with you all along the way. The pictures I posted of Bear are all ones she took and sent me while he was staying with her along with updates on what they were doing and his progress. She is also incredibly detail oriented in everything she does, the facility is absolutely pristine, and she lives on site and watches the pups live on cam all the time! The area where the dog's crates are kept and they sleep has been set up like a home to enable her to train for at home issues like grabbing things off the counter or jumping on furniture. A newly remolded barn serves as another training area, along with several outdoor enclosed play areas/runs, the whole property is just really beautiful. There's not much else to say except if you're on the fence, do it! You and your doggo will be so much happier and you'll get so much more out of your relationship! Do not hesitate to contact her with any questions, she is a true pro, absolutely loves what she does and it shows.

He came out a different dog! Walking on the leash is a joy, he auto sits when I stop walking, walks next to me, sits, lays down, and comes to hand signals. When I pick up the training collar he is so excited to go on a walk. They posted pictures during the time our dog was with them and provided updates. Before we picked him up they reviewed the training with us so we can easily use it at home, provided a memory stick of the training so we can refresh ourselves with the training. Many thanks to Georgia K9. I would use them again for training.
