We have a 2 year old Aussie mix, with lots of energy, spirit and a huge heart. He loves to run off leash, learns quickly, and loves any dog or person that will play with him. But he was developing a strong leash aggression, growling and lunging out at dogs and we were quickly getting in over our heads, especially as he grew to 60 pounds of pure muscle. He was jumping on our guests, and demanding maximum attention from every visitor. We were embarrassed to have visitors over, or take him out in public on a leash.
Janis stepped in with a plan to help us, and restore order to our home, social life, and walks. She worked with our dog a few times each week for a month in day training sessions to build the foundation with him, followed by a weekly session and written instructions for us to improve our bond and refresh and grow positive behaviors. Janis’s techniques worked like a charm, and with only a couple of 10 minute focused sessions a day on our part with him, he became the loyal, well behaved dog we had wished for! A real turn-around, and all of our close friends and visitors have noticed how much better his is on walks, and happier, more settled in our home. We are thrilled with the results, and so proud of our pup!
