TESTIMONIALS
My name is Bill Janson. My wife is Charlotte. Our first German Shepherd,
Delsea, was so hyper and protective we couldn’t let anyone into the house
without first locking her up in a bedroom. No ifs-ands-or-buts no one could
come near her in the house.

Our second Shepherd, Shelby, was a total opposite. She had been returned to
the breeder because she was too big. The owner was getting her knees hurt
just by her wagging tail. She ended up having several of the common Shepherd
problems including Epilepsy. I could only control her to a small extent with a
choker collar and a lot of brute strength. I think this method was a contributing
factor in herniating my colon cancer incision. When Charlotte took Shelby for a
walk it was a straight-arm walk. Shelby went where she wanted at her speed.
Charlotte did teach her to shake paws she would say, “give me five”. Shelby
would lift her front paw.

In March 2006 we bought our third Shepherd “Revlon”. She was 2½ months old.
We were shopping for dog things at Pet Smart one day. Just by happenstance
there was a young lady there also shopping who had a young shepherd with her.
The dog didn’t have a leash. This caught our attention. We inquired about the
dog. She said that she rescued the dog and the dog was trained with a remote
collar.

We decided this was the way we wanted to go. We inquired and found out that a
new company was formed called Absolute Control Dog Training. We went for a
demonstration and then signed up. Just as the name implies there is a guarantee
that comes with the course that says you will end up with absolute control of
your dog. No pressure, you can take as long as you want or need to achieve this
end.  You can even go back later for a tune up if needed. We use the remote
collar to stimulate Revlon when I give her commands. She is doing really well.
We have been training for a couple of weeks now without a leash. We are closer
to the end of training than the beginning. It is so much more fun having a dog
that will do what you want.

If this sounds like any other typical training story it isn’t. Let me explain, I’m 61
years old. I survived a massive cerebral hemorrhage secondary to AV
Malformation. I had a craniotomy, (e.g. brain surgery) to remove this
malformation twenty years ago. I have brain damage as a result that has left
me with, among other things, almost no short-term memory and it is very
difficult for me to multi-task. These are two of the things that help you learn,
train and carry out the dog training. How am I able to train with these cognitive
shortcomings? Only with the help of the trainers. I have never been shy when
talking about my problems. I made it clear to the trainers what is or isn’t going
on inside my brain. They understood and go that extra mile to help me. It is and
has been a very rewarding experience. It is once again fun and pleasurable
having a dog. It’s exciting watching her work under my commands. It gives me
great pride when I take her anyplace where there is another dog and I can
show off her training. People who are like I was before the training are amazed
by her training and obedience. I can be smug about it but the truth is, it’s all
made possible by the collar and the ability of the trainers that trained my dog
and me. I always had the ability but these guys showed me the training process.
This is one family with a dog that will be forever grateful to this method of
training.
