I wanted to wait a week after bringing home my dog, Zoro, from his 2 week board and train at ADU - Tampa to officially give my review. Before this program, Zoro was the typical high energy yellow lab that had so much energy he didn’t know what to do with it. This resulted in a lot of behavioral issues including reactivity, counter surfing, demand barking, jumping on people, humping my other dog and much more. He is 6 years old and so we have been dealing with these issues for quite some time. Not until I got a referral from a friend for this exact program, I finally gave in and I am SO happy that I did! I truly feel like I can communicate with Zoro and he understands what I am asking him to do. The 2 weeks can feel long and I will say having only 1 update that entire time is not my first preference but I do appreciate the hard work they put into training these dogs. I really appreciated the 2 hours they spent teaching you every command and going over all the instructions. It will feel overwhelming at first but after a few days it will start to click. I also loved the fact they provided me videos of Zoro’s training sessions so I can reference back to in the first few days to ensure I am implementing the commands correctly. The key is also to keep consistent - I have researched all sorts of ways to implement each of the commands in our everyday life and it’s amazing! For example, we have been using the place command for when we vacuum as Zoro used to HATE vacuums. He now stays on his “place” peacefully without reacting. I have seen such a huge difference in Zoro since the program and it changed our lives for the better. I would highly recommend this program! Thank you ADU!
