My husband and I have a 3 month old goldendoodle who has been quick to learn most of the things we have tried to teach her. However, we were not having any success with training her on stopping her negative behaviors around our three young grandchildren (jumping on them and nipping at their hands and face), as well as with her behavior while on a leash (constantly stopping and trying to run ahead) . A week ago today, Mel came to our house for an hour (we also had two of our grandchildren there) so he could observe her behavior around them. During the hour he did training with our puppy on both of these negative behaviors, there was a marked change in her behavior. With the grandchildren, our biggest concern, she was much calmer and the nipping stopped. We have had them at the house since and using the techniques taught to us by Mel, our puppy has been on her best behavior around them. The same can be said about our walks with her. She is still curious about everything going on around her but with a simple command, we can get her to walk with us at a pace that we choose. The most important part of the training, however, was the information Mel imparted on us regarding why dogs behave as they do and how to modify their behavior to get them to act in a manner that you want them to. We have applied this knowledge to another situation with her with good results. We would highly recommend Mel and Paramount Dog Training to anyone for training their puppy, or even older dogs, and gaining knowledge to apply for future situations.
