Strutt Your Mutt

AMAZING! Our very head strong and stubborn Bull terrier Zeus went to Erika after a scuffle between him and another one of our dogs. Erika and her staff were able to to tap into his head and help him with his issues. Then Erika was able to teach us and train us on a new way of communicating with Zeus. We have learned so much from this experience and a weight has been lifted off our shoulders now. It was and is 100 percent worth it! Zeus and the rest of our pack can finally be happy and relaxed under the same roof!

We used them for a couple things. First Hillary (who is AMAZING) helped us retrain our 3 yo boxer with leash work and a new E collar. Now is is amazing on walks. We used Erica (who should be the real dog whisper) to help our 1 yo boxer find himself and get over some of his social fears. We have learned so much from the two of them and has made us better owners and masters of our dogs. We have learned not only how to read the dog but learn why they make some of their choices.

Erika Hall and her Strutt Your Mutt team, Hillary and Leah, are the best dog trainers we’ve ever worked with. When we got our new lab puppy we searched for a top quality dog trainer here in Grand Junction. Almost everyone we asked recommended Erika and her Strutt Your Mutt team. Unfortunately, Erika was in the middle of a move to her new location; so, we tried a totally treat based program here in Grand Junction. We were not impressed with the treat based system, our dog only responded if we had treats in our pockets….and, who always carries treats? We switched to Erika as soon as she had an opening for individual training. The change in our puppy was so swift, we opted for the two week board and train program. At the same time, we also had Hillary train our 8 year old lab at home with the E-Collar training. (Our older lab had some bad habits we didn’t even recognize until we saw the results with our puppy.) The results were phenomenal for both dogs. Our veterinarian even said she could always tell the dogs she saw that had been trained by Strutt Your Mutt … they are always so well behaved. The training requires working with your dogs; but, the effort is well worth it. As Erika explained to us: they work with dogs; but, they train dog owners. We are sure you won’t be disappointed with Erika Hall and her Strutt Your Mutt team.

I reached out to Erika at Strutt Your Mutt because our puppy (Yorkie) was challenging our ability to address behavioral issues. (He was relentless with our elderly female.) I needed tools and training to address his behavior and improve all of our lives. I had 3 sessions with Erika and could see an immediate change in applying her suggestions and doing the work she suggested. I also enjoyed the experience of shadowing Erika for one session-she is hardworking and no-nonsense in her approach to dog behavior and helping educate the humans so they can help the dog. They truly want the dog to be content and well balanced. I highly recommend this team! -Jackie
