"I put the collar on Yuki when we got home and he's still wearing it. He was
scratching it at first but he seems to be okay with it now. I went to take
a
walk with him.... I used a 1.5 stim once when he didn't heel cause he was
sniffing another dog, the rest of the time I used a level 1 stim. Whenever
he
was too far in front of me I would use the pssst or hey sound like Cesar.
It took
him a good 2 minutes to obey the heel command...WOW! Whenever I stop he
stops and sits.
He was in the backyard talking with the neighbor's dog, I called him and
gave one
light pop, he came running. I'm sold! I should have bought an electronic
collar a long time ago.
Thank you again for making me a believer!"

"I really enjoyed working with you, as well! I was so excited to meet you and have our session- my expectations were exceeded! You're truly an excellent teacher and lovely human. It's wonderful to meet someone who loves and respects dogs the way you do.
I know a *little* about dogs and their behavior, but your knowledge and expertise is far beyond mine. I felt I learned so much from you yesterday-how exciting! I now have a better understanding of dog behavior-and much more to learn. You've given me such incentive! Not only did I learn a great method of working with Fred-I received the gift of being able to bond with him further. I must add, I feel that meeting you was a gift, as well.
Thank you for everything, Karen!
Fred and I plan on seeing you at EZ Dog Park-SOON! What time is Happy Hour? LOL!"

"I am sorry it has taken me so long to give you an update and testimonial on Snowball. I decided to wait a bit after getting the collar so I could tell you all the wonderful things that it has helped resolve and then the holidays and doctor's appointment took over!
So, anyway, here is the good news. Snowball has responded so well to the E-collar. It has helped with things I did not even realize it would. I am now able to get him to stop charging the door when the doorbell rings and trying to bite the person on the other side. I can now have pizza delivered without incident! He also is no longer charging and growling at my neighbors and their dogs. He had a particularly big problem with a male neighbor and his male dog and the first time we encountered them with the E-collar, I did have to turn the intensity up and Snowball did a complete about face and ran back to me. It was a sight to see because this had NEVER happened before. Snowball really had scared a lot of my neighbors and was keeping people away from me. So, now that we have the E-collar, I can keep him off leash and socialize with people instead of them running away from me! It is a miracle!
I continue to walk Snowball about 45 minutes a day and we also no longer have a major problem when we encounter other dogs, men or people on wheels. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the E-collar also stopped Snowball from eating bird poo, which previously would result in a bacterial infection and a visit to the vet! So, the collar is saving me money and time! My only complaint is that I wish I could have the collar and the remote surgically implanted into us!!! I do need to work on catching him with the collar on when he jumps onto my car.
So, all in all, the E-collar has made my life incredibly easier and calmer. It has lifted such a eight off of my shoulders. I now know that I have control of him and he knows it, too. I do notice that he is more obedient since having the collar whether it is on him or not. I have started to use the buzzer as a warning before the shock and he is responding to the buzzer and I don't even need to shock him.
Thank you so much for your help! I found you at just the right time because Snowball's aggression was getting worse! I do realize that it may be good for him to visit your dog park on a regular basis. I am working on that. My energy is limited due to my diagnosis of chronic atigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, so I focus on getting him walked each day, first, which is good for me, too, and right now there is not much energy left over for anything else. So, one of these days, I may see you again!
Take care and I hope your holidays were happy! Happy New Year and thank you again for all your help! Your guidance to the E-collar has been priceless for me and my aggressive American Eskimo, Snowball! I now have my perfect companion!"

Hi Karen.....well today was day one on my own with the remote training.(..I let Bailey relax the rest of the day yesterday...some heeling work with the prong collar, but nothing with the remote.) The remote collar has worked wonderfully. She has learned very quickly. She "came" twice in the woods, as requested, despite squirrels all around. The real test was at home, afterwards, when she was in her usual "dart away after any squirrel" mode. I did have to advance to 1.5 to get her to respond...but only once....how awesome!!! Sooooo glad I heard of you and enlisted your services. The piece of mind is priceless.
Thanks again for your services. So far, no extra questions...but you'll be the first to call if any arise.
Take care,
Eileen MacDonell

The dogs are doing fine and it is only very seldom that I have to use the “shock” part of the collar. Have just been using the “buzz” part and they respond quickly to that. Erica (next door) has been taking them for walks and has no problem with them. Even getting down the drive (which I though would be a big problem because of the invisible fence) is no problem – even on the first day she took them. I was totally shocked!!!!! Like I told you, I wish I had gotten these collars long before I did. Would have saved a lot of frustration on my part.
I still want to get them out to the dog park; have to work on that.
