High Drive Dog Company

This is NOT a positive reinforcement training. If you want to ruin your relationship with your dog in order to have a completely submissive pet that fears you - this is the class for you! At the end of the class this week, Carly said all the dogs were allowed to run around and mingle. My dog is a small Shorkie that was being ruffed up by a bigger dog. My dog cried out for help from this larger dog. Carly said, leave the dogs alone their just playing. Didn't sound like play to me. After being yelled at, and squirted with the spray bottle from Carly. I said "we are done" here grabbed my dog to leave. Carly, is clearly a narcissist with no compassion for animals. Don’t waste your time and money here.

I cannot recommend Carly and High Drive Dog training enough! We adopted a year old AmStaff Terrier from the Longmont Human Society. He had been surrendered for behavior reasons and because of his appearance had remained unadopted for several months. We took him home as he seemed like just a sweet energetic puppy, but after a while we started having problems. He was fighting with our older dog and snapping at our cat and my wife. Not to mention he was afraid of EVERYTHING on top of that. My wife was in tears after a couple of weeks and we did not want to take him back to waste away at the humane society. I found High Drive Dog Co after reading some reviews and signed up. Carly's approach was very direct and took some getting used to. She immediately let everyone the class know we were all doing it wrong! But, as she explained more, we all realized she was absolutely right. Her methods come directly from her unwavering love for the dogs she rescues and trains. Within a couple of classes we began to see an amazing change in our dog. The classes revolve around understanding how a dog's brain works. We also enrolled him on Carly's doggie daycare once a week for socialization. Our dog immediately began to settle down and get along the other animals and the resource guarding we were seeing before started to subside. He also went from pulling our arm off on a walk to knowing how to go without all the pulling. And best of all, he now has the confidence to not be afraid of noises, objects, and people. We could not be happier with the results and intend to continue training with High Drive and Carly. If you have a dog you love and want to see them stable, balanced and confident, GO SEE CARLY!
