Unleashed Abilities: Coaching People, Training Dogs

I highly recommend Kerry and Mark from Unleashed Abilities. We are one of those overwhelmed new owners who got a pandemic puppy--a high-energy golden retriever, named Willow. We worked with Kerry for puppy school to socialize Willow and introduce her to basic commands. Kerry was so helpful, answering all of our questions from potty training basics, to crate training, to how to get her to stop being so mouthy and eating our shoes. She created a great foundation to work from. When Willow was about 8 months old we worked with Mark on polite leash walking (Willow liked to pull us all around the neighborhood) and tightening up her basic obedience and recall (she is very independent minded). She now has a great drop and leave it and sit/down. She also comes when called! With Kerry and Mark's help, Willow is growing up to be such a great dog! We feel grateful to Unleashed Abilities for coaching us through our first year and for helping us welcome Willow into our family.

We could not recommend Keri more highly. Her knowledge and understanding of how a puppy's mind works is unmatched. Gus "graduated" puppy school with solid repertoire - Sit, Down, Come, and Leave it. More importantly Keri help coach us through the numerous nervous puppy parent questions / concerns that arise as your furry companion is growing and maturing. Gus also gives Keri (and her pups) five paws and a full body tail wag / butt wiggle.

Keri is amazing - both with our puppy and with us! Her puppy head start program has given my pup great skills for new places, socializing with people and puppies, and not a small thing - riding in the car crate with minimal complaints. More importantly, her practical, no-nonsense advice with us, responsiveness to concerns and teaching us pretty simple adjustments made a difference pretty much immediately. There's no substitute for an expert that knows how to help you apply that experience on your own.
