Raise Your Right Paw Dog Training

Thank you Liz, I appreciate you leaving me such a kind review. You showed great understanding and followed through every step of the way. People must understand that this is what helps dogs to literally learn from us. Your leadership is what will assist Stella and keep her mind where it needs to be. Shepherds are a "Working" breed and need the particular leadership both you and Kyle both showed.<br>I DO have to say that YOU were the trooper in this case because of continuing to work with Stella while having your ankle in a cast 😉. Keep up the great work and don't let up. I'm here if you ever need!

Hey Kyle, thank you for the kind words. I try to remind people of many things when it comes to training. One of them (and probably the most important one of all,) is that it's MY job to show you how. YOU become your dog's Leader/Trainer! So although I may have layed the groundwork, it's YOU who paid attention, learned the steps and went to work with Stella. And the way she's showed how well she's learned over our six sessions together, you obviously have become one of her Leaders. Now don't stop...and keep up great work! "Training Never Ends!"

Hi Toni, and thanks for the generous words. I appreciate your kindness. I KNOW when people are making the effort and putting in the work to help their dogs be successful. You, Carl and Lucas all showed that in class every week. Seeing Ozzy Rocket (I love that name btw, it totally fits him,) making progress was certainly gratifying for me. It's why I do what I do!<br>Keep working with Oz' to make sure he stays balanced and always looking to you all as his leaders.<br>And remember... I'm always here for any reason that you need assistance. Please feel free to contact me anytime. 🙂

Thank you Lucas. I appreciate the generous review. I have to say that when your pup, Ozzy Rocket, first showed up, I was wondering if he was going to remain a typically reactive little guy.<br>What impressed me was that after showing up for the remaining classes, you became an excellent leader to him. If at any time he became bored in-between training and started to become a little rambunctious (as young pups generally do,) you immediately "worked him" and got him to follow your instructions. That's what Leadership Skills are all about. Excellent work Lucas and keep it up. Keep training going strong. Remember, repetitions and consistency is the answer to a dog learning and comprehending what you're asking of him. <br>Keep up the great work and remember to always remain patient with Ozzy. He's doing his best to understand and be your best friend!!

Thank you Carl. Here's the thing...I only showed you how. You, Toni and Lucas are becoming Ozzy's leaders and doing the training. THAT'S what's most important in his comprehending, learning and retaining. Keep those repetitions high and consistent amongst you all. That's how Ozzy will become a well balanced pup. Remember...he's a dog living in a human world. Help him to understand that.
