This is going to be a winded one, but bear with me. This all started when I had a terrible car accident, I suffer from PTSD from the incident, which plays into why I got a dog in the first place. Ever since then I have had seizures, and pain. When I got Nala, I got her with the intent of making her a service dog, and thought that I could train her the basic stuff, but what I failed to comprehend was that she was an Australian Shepherd. I thought If I watched every video and read every book I could control her energy and gusto while also taking care of my sick father. Nala had a bunch of issues starting out because of her environment, that of which caused aggression, loud intolerable barking and whining. Everyone in my family was telling me to get rid of her, she was an unruly dog who didn't care. I decided to put my pride aside one day and I chose Total Dog to work with and help me understand what I was doing wrong, right off the bat their staff was truly so understanding and empathetic. They adapted to my situation and mapped out a plan to work with Nala, and I got matched with Luisa. Luisa held me accountable comfortably and worked with me to be a better person to a dog that was only trying to figure out the world. Ever since, Nala has changed and grown into a dog that I have confidence in, that shows great potential to be an amazing service dog, and will save my life one day, thanks to them. If you are having doubts, get rid of them and put faith in these people! It is so worth the price.
