Question on Google
I adopted a 4 yo sm cocker spaniel mix from PAWS this past Fri. Since being home she has lunged & tried to attack two guys that have come over to visit. I believe she has been prev abused by a man. Can u help & how much would u charge

I have a 115 lb German shepherd and took him to the weekly classes and cost $89 I think. Excellent trainer and will work with you at class.

This is a google user forum, so you probably need to speak with Joe directly. I can tell you that my 110lb German Shepherd has major insecurity issues and used to make quite a scene around people or dogs he didn't know. We tried professional positive reinforcement training that didn't help at all. Joe showed us how to carefully and correctly use negative reinforcement training, and we can trust our dog isn't likely to hurt us or someone else anymore. It's a lot of work, but if you do what Joe says and stick with it, it helps. Also, he works with animal control and APL to help check out animals for adoption and identify training issues. He's an expert. His rates vary, but it's worth it. Good luck!!

We've been coming to classes for a few months now, and we love it. We are 1st time dog owners, and Joe and his crew are very helpful. He has offered such great advice. (Edit to add) As we've advanced through the levels, I've noticed a giant leap in our dog's behavior. She's always been obedient, but her focus has increased. For example, when we get together with friends and their dogs, our dog listens and obeys right away. During very exciting play times when I want to bring the energy level down, I can call her to me and tell her down and she'll stay until I release her... while other dogs are running around and barking and having a good time she still listens. Our walk has improved drastically. She was never a big puller but always always always had to be in front. This would require mostly constant corrections (dozens during a 2 mile walk). She walks by my side now very consistently and only ever pulls when nature calls. When greeting people, she would always be licking with extreme excitement. Her excitement level is still very high when greeting, but the licking has decreased massively and she outwardly remains calm.

We truly cannot recommend Joe and his staff enough! We tell everyone about them, Joe’s love for dogs, and the passion he has to make both humans and dogs successful. -Kim B Phoebe and her sister Annie Mae.

Joe has given us great advice for our puppy, who has gotten over her fear of other dogs thanks to these classes. Highly recommend!
