The People's Pup - Adventures and Training

The People’s Pup has truly changed our lives for the better! I cannot recommend them enough, and I do in fact recommend them to every dog owner I know. I am the lucky owner of a very sweet, very high energy, and very dog-reactive 6-year-old pup named Lola. Her issues with other dogs were the aftermath of a dog attack, and her anxiety became so severe that it was hard to even take her on short walks around the block. Prior to the attack, walking had been such a great outlet for us both and I was desperate for help. I tried a variety of training options that were unsuccessful before finding the People’s Pup and now I can’t imagine where we would be without them. Through private training and training walks with the People’s Pup, Lola and I both became more confidant on our walks. I loved how much positive reinforcement was emphasized in training and how effective it was. While Lola still has a hard time socializing, she now knows to look to me for reassurance when we pass other dogs instead of reacting. If she is ever caught off guard and does react, it is manageable to calm her and refocus in a short period of time. Going from a dog that would lunge, bark, growl, and try to break free from her leash incessantly, this is SUCH an immense improvement that I really wasn’t sure would be possible. It finally felt like I had my dog back. After our original trainer moved away, we took a break from the People’s Pup until I went back to working in person. Lola now gets private walks with Nick while I am at work, and he is the absolute BEST! Not only do I get daily updates of her walks with the most incredible photos, shown below, but I know how much Lola adores him and that means everything to me. I’ve had the fortune of being home occasionally when Nick comes for Lola and she literally cries with excitement upon his arrival. He takes such great care of her and the comfort that I get from knowing this means the world. Every one of my experiences with the People’s Pup over the better part of 3 years has been 5 stars, 10/10, 100% fantastic. Lola and I are SO grateful!
