I’m a Sharpei breeder of 30 years. They are a special, protective, proud, and loyal breed that, if not socialized properly as a pups, can often end up in need of a good trainer. That’s where someone like The K9 Coach, Neil Sandman comes in. Sharpei bond very closely to their owners and can become fiercely protective. They can display something called territorial aggression (or even a resource guarding behavior) where their owner is concerned. These behaviors can become troubling and problematic for owners and, when this happens, a good trainer is critical. What’s needed is: someone who truly understands the breed, someone who takes the time and has the ability to bond with the dog, someone who can establish a relationship of trust and respect with the dog, and someone who can, not only train the dog; but, can then transfer those newly gained skills and behaviors to the dog’s family. Neil Sandman is that trainer. I’ve known Neil personally for about 2 years now. He has a past puppy of ours (his blue Sharpei Ozzie,). I’ve spoken to Neil often over the past 2 years and he has relayed many of his training techniques and stories to me. I’ve watched as he’s expertly guides his rottie Rocky into becoming an amazingly well mannered, patient, obedient, and well behaved therapy dog. I’ve also seen what a wonderful job he has done with training Ozzie. He’s a phenomenal trainer who has a great knowledge of dogs and a great passion for what he does. I have recommended my Sharpei families and friends to Mr. Sandman without hesitation and will continue to do so in the future. I highly recommend The K9 Coach, Neil Sandman to anyone in need of training for their dog.
