Kris and his program has given me and my family so much hope! We were considering rehoming our rescue pup, Teddy, due to his reactivity. He is fearful of strangers entering our home and is territorial. Unfortunately, he bit a friend who was visting and we were devastated at the idea of giving him up. We were referred to Canine Moxie by Taurus Academy in Austin. We have been working with Kris for a few months to properly train and socialize him. The goal is to feel comfortable having people in our home again and to curb a few annoying habits he has (aka, barking at anything that moves or makes a noise) While we aren't quite there yet, I've seen huge gains in his behavior and think we are on the right path. Also, taking him on walks now is actually enjoyable and not embarrassing! Also, I was not able to clip his nails and when I took him to the vet, she wanted to give him anesthesia to clip them in her office. I didn't feel great about this and his nails were just getting longer and longer. Luckily, Canine Moxy was up to the task and have sucessfully clipped his nails twice now. I always learn so much in class and appreciate that Kris explains the "why" behind some of these tricky behaviors which makes it easier to understand, empathize, and correct. I highly recommend this service!
