I cannot thank Courtney at Quality K9 enough! She helped me turn an unfortunate situation into a very manageable one with her experience, guidance and understanding!
Long story short, I took in my mom's high-energy and undisciplined dog Jaeger, a German wirehair pointer, due to potentially dangerous behavior, like bolting out of the front door, and pulling on a leash. He didn't listen to being called back inside, so I knew it was only a matter of time before a big accident could happen. He also had little to no basic obedience. Once I took him in, we started to work on those things, but other issues arose. I found out he had some pretty significant separation anxiety that would lead to him going to the bathroom inside the house or in his kennel, and he would work himself up so much he would bark and pant all day long.
As a busy parent and someone who works full time, I was afraid I didn't have enough time to really work on these issues and was starting to consider rehoming him. After all, I only wanted what was best for him and knew he needed time and consistency to become the best dog he could be.
That's where Quality K9 came in! Courtney listened to all of my concerns, took a history of what commands he already knows, what I wanted him to know and made a very detailed plan week by week of what they will work on. I left Jaeger with Courtney feeling confident and comfortable that things were going to improve.
After his board and train was done, what I did not expect was that he would become a whole new dog when he returned! He is amazing off leash, has a near perfect heel, and his recall is on point! He no longer bolts out the door, and he is sooo much better in a kennel!
The best part is that Courtney still reaches out to me to check in on how things are going, if there's any issues and if so she's happy to keep working on them. I feel so confident in myself and I know Jaeger feels better structured now that he has some ground rules in his life. We are so happy with his results! read more
