TESTIMONIALS
To see Spaz is one thing, to meet Spaz is a LOT of bruising. She is an
awesome dog that was just in the wrong home. Spaz comes from Delaware
and her former owner had her sent away for training. When she returned he
did not follow up on her training and she became a hand full. Spaz has a LOT
of energy and needs a direction. Spaz was sent to a shelter in Delaware and
the staff NEVER put her up for adoption due to her being completely black
and the owner had 'papers' on Spaz. They did not want her to become a show
dog OR the possibility of her being kept as a 'guard' dog. Remember she has
a LOT of energy and for anyone who has met her they can attest to that. LOL
See we are owned by 3 German Shepherd dogs and they have all been
trained. Jakey and Baylor were trained by a friend of mine that used the
same methods as Perry and his staff. When Spaz came around my girlfriend
had just had her first child and they were preparing to move back to Texas.
This left me in a bad spot for training. I don't use clicker or treat training. I
believe in the pack mentality and I am the alpha. TRY to explain that to the
typical family pet owner and you will be screamed at!!!!! I met Tracie and Lish
through one of our rescues and I was telling Tracie about Spaz and her
needing a job or she will will go nuts and become bored. This is not fair to the
dog but I was on the look for someone to help me. Tracie and I talked and I
watched the video on the school. I LOVED it immediately. Everyone believes
in the same methods as I do. Oh My God I FOUND other 'normal' people. :)
Since then we started taking Spaz and she has done GREAT!!!!! She knew her
commands but now we want to work on her bite work and she is doing well
with that. I KNOW I KNOW I have to get to more classes. SORRY!!!!! :)
Spaz has come a LONG way and the staff is amazing. Even my husband goes
and does NOT feel stupid. He can ask ANY question and it is ALWAYS
answered with a VERY detailed description of what is going to be expected.
The dogs are NEVER beat down or talked down too. The staff works with
individuals, if that is what is called for. I also hear that the staff's singing is
not too bad. :)
We are going to be bringing Baylor in soon, as soon as college tuition is paid
for, so she can start with basics and then work into agility. I tell people ALL
the time about the school and how nice it is to go and feel like a friend and not
just a client.
