I contacted Christa at Prodigy Pups about obedience training for our two (2) German Shepherds. One was six (6) months old and one was a year old. Christa was very responsive. We discussed the goals I had in mind for our dogs and i booked 6 sessions. Christa is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and helped us identify the 'why' dogs exhibit particular behaviors. She provided solutions and often more than one option to correct the behavior such as jumping, leash pulling, recall, etc. Christa came to our residence and was always prompt. Sometimes, we had to change a training session and she was accommodating. Since we had two dogs to train at the same time, we did both joint lessons and also worked with them independently. She also assisted us with shock and prong collar training which helped immensely! We took them to the state park and received many compliments on how well behaved they were even when seeing other dogs, kids, etc. This is important for a variety of reasons but also a way to change the perception of GSD being a dangerous breed. A trip to the vet yielded great results too. No barking or charging other dogs in waiting area. Christa is a great trainer and cares about her clients. She is friendly and well versed in dog training. But also know it is your responsibility as the dog owner to work on the skills with your dog(s) in between sessions. I would highly recommend Christa given her skill set and love of dogs.
