We took our 10 mo old uncut male german shepherd when his reactivity to other dogs starting rearing its ugly head. Apollo had been in obedience training since we brought him home and had been well socialized, but puberty changed him! James recommended his Leadership Package, which was more for my husband and me than for the dog. We learned about the right collar and leash and how to use it, especially in the face of a trigger. I don't want to say Apollo became a different dog (because he was always the goodest boy, he just needed to be led properly), but the entire dog walking and training experience WAS different for us from then on out. Apollo heels, is more attentive to what we want, adjusts to our movements, and importantly, is more neutral in the face of triggers. He will still react when another dog reacts first, but it's so easy to control now and doesn't interrupt our walks. I love walks now, instead of being nervous. We plan to work with James again.
