  A little over a year ago we had to put our sweet girl down because her poor body was riddled with cancer and she was having multiple seizures a day. The day we had to let her go was devastating. Listening to everyone that said we needed another dog to help us heal I started looking for a different breed. I started looking at the doodle breeds and found a picture of the cutest little boy I’d ever seen and had to have him. 7 months later after some signs of some aggression issues he got away from me and bit a lady that was standing outside her place of work. I was shocked, embarrassed, scared and so upset. I called my vet’s office (***** **** *** ******) and they recommended K-9 Pack Leader. I called immediately and Bob answered my call. I was so upset and crying I’m not sure how he understood what I was saying but he calmed me down and walked me through what I needed to say and do when Animal Control showed up. Because of Bob’s guidance I was allowed to quarantine our pup at home for 10 days and we set up an appointment with Bob to come to our house after quarantine was over. Within 5 minutes of Bob being in our home our pup was in his place, was quiet. Within 2 hours we were given some tools and training on why our dog was aggressive and how we needed to handle him, 2 weeks later and multiple phone calls in between Bob came back giving us more tools and more training. The tools that we have been given has helped us and our puppy’s behavior. We can now walk our dog without fear. Watch TV without him going crazy and barking at the TV as well as some of his other bad behaviors that we were allowing because we didn’t know what to do. I know now that we weren’t ready for a new puppy but with Bob’s help and guidance I feel like we are now in control and these tools will be something we have to stick with and use every day. I highly recommend K-9 Pack Leader for training.

  Six months ago, we rescued a 1.5 yr old Pit mix named Theo.
  Initially, Theo seemingly fit right in our home. He got along with our
  other small dog as well as the other dogs and people at the doggy
  daycare.
  Over the course of a couple of months, Theo began to show more
  anxiety/nervousness while at home. He did not respond well to people
  coming into the house and then started barking at people when we were
  driving. Eventually this turned into Theo “protecting” my wife and
  snarled at me for no specific reason on multiple occasions. We then
  started doing research for aggressive dog trainers and we found Bob.
  Once Bob came to the house, Theo did not like his presence at all. Bob
  was able to determine that Theo was not aggressive, but instead was
  scared. He was trying to be the alpha of the house, but he wasn't a true
  alpha dog. Bob's visit provided us with insight about dog behaviors as
  well as letting us know that we also needed to be trained. Some of
  Theo’s issues were due to our lack of clear rules and going to doggy
  daycare.
  Bob eventually took Theo back to his place for a few weeks of 1-on-1
  training and to live with his pack. Bob’s pack provided Theo guidance of
  how to interact with them. We were provided videos, phone calls, and
  texts about Theo’s progress. We were also given information to prepare
  us (including our other dog) for Theo’s return home.
  When Theo came back home, we had a different dog. His behavior was
  calmer and more relaxed. Bob taught us this is a lifestyle change. It’s
  not a quick fix. The training that we have implemented has to be
  consistent and not “training sessions”.
  Bob is great. He is always available for any questions we have. He
  celebrates our victories with us. Anytime we had setbacks, he readily
  provided insight into the why's of what happened and how to correct the
  issue. This has been very helpful for both of us. Bob was able to
  reset our house so that we became the Pack leaders instead of our dogs.

  We have a pack of 3 huskies, all females. Two we had since
  pups and the 3rd was a rescue. All between 5-6 years old now. About a
  year ago, our first two attacked the rescue. We weren't sure what
  provoked the situation, but assumed it would be a one time thing.
  Instead, the tension continued to grow in our house. The attacks and
  attempted attacks became more frequent. We love our dogs very much and
  this chaos was causing us so much heartache. We knew we had to change
  something or we were going to have to rehome one of the dogs, before
  something even worse happened. We had gotten to the point that we kept
  the dogs separated to stop the attacks. This was no way for us all to
  live, but the thought of breaking up our family was inconceivable. I
  reached out to the person at the rescue to see if she had any
  recommendations for help. She gave me Bob's name and I called the next
  day. We wanted to do whatever possible to save our pack. We desperately
  needed to find the balance in our home again! Bob came out about a week
  later for our first 2 hour session. We learned so much about why the
  dogs were behaving the way they were and Bob gave us the tools to become
  the alphas of our pack. We went right to work with our girls, going
  through the steps Bob taught us. We saw some results right away.
  Huskies are stubborn but smart. After just one week, Bob returned for
  the second visit and could tell we had put in the time, that we were
  committed to making this work. We went through some of the tools again,
  then Bob showed us how to train the dogs to walk on the treadmill.
  We've got two of the dogs doing a fantastic job. It's not just a
  physical exercise but mental as well. This is a lifetime commitment
  making sure we are the alphas of our pack. Everyday there is more work
  to be done, but getting our girls was a lifetime commitment on our part.
  We are so thankful to have the tools, we are happy to have our home
  back and best of all we still have all 3 husky girls!
