Performance K9 Training Centre

After a few years of living with the results of the training and now meeting others that have remorse about going through David's program, I have to say that I regret the time and money invested. I have no doubt that David and Performance K9 are great trainers for protection guard dogs, but to help correct behavior in the family dog, it was not the right choice for me, my family, and my dog. Honestly, my dog Mocha was never the same. Once we got him back, his aggression towards visitors increased, even if I was able to control him with the shock collar. So he became a controllable, but more dangerous animal. Sure, he did as he was trained and would remain at his place when commanded and if that's all I wanted from my dog, then I would've been happy with the results, but my dog was fundamentally changed. I have worked with other trainers and behaviorist since then to find a better balance between obedient guard dog and family pet. For me, the board and train approach is a quick fix that misses a big ingredient of being at your home and around you and your family. However, if you want your dog to be a better, more controllable guard dog, then Performance K9 could be for you. And to their credit, David took our dog back fora few days to work with him more after we had a couple issues right after having him home. And though my personality and David's definitely clashed to begin with, he adjusted after our first training session and became a little more personable in our post boarding training sessions.
