My dog, Lola was behaving terribly as a puppy. She would bite everything in her way, bite, growl, and bark at all times day AND night. My family was wasting money, shoes and clothing because Lola would chew on things despite getting disciplined by me. She would not listen to me AT ALL. I came across Jose and Andre by chance one day who just so happen to be dog trainers and it's like God sent them to me because they were the answer I didn't know I needed. I gave them a try and after a couple of sessions Lola became a brand new dog. She went from being my arch nemesis to being the dog I dreamed of having. Her temper is better, NO more chewing on things and now only barks to communicate her needs or to alert for strangers outside the house. She is friendlier than ever and is now the sweetest thing.
