Testimonials
We had Cat out this past week-end to help us with our 3 Bernese Mountain Dogs. We wanted to pass on our compliments.
She was very professional. In 20 minutes, she made an amazing amount of progress with our dogs. Over the course of the week-end the gains we made with our dogs was incredible.
She was very pleasant to work with and we think she is an excellent ambassador for your company.
It was a pleasure working with her, and we really enjoyed her stay with us.
Thanks for referring her to us. We have a brand new pack !!!!!

Hi Amanda,
Just a quick little email to say THANK YOU so much for coming yesterday and your great instruction! I just came back from a walk with Lily and it was wonderful! I didn't have to make one correction, it was so easy and relaxed. She didn't even pull to go to Tiki's!!
We went for 3 more walks yesterday, too, and 2 of the 3 were highly successful. It is so nice to use the umbilical cord and be hands-free, I actually could enjoy a cup of coffee this morning while walking and not spill it on myself. And I know Lily is happier, too. She loves going for walks (I think she was smiling!) and now we are actually 'walking' again. She seems much less stressed, which makes me happier, too.
Thank you so much!!!! I will highly recommend your services to my friends.
Have a nice day,
Lisa
Hi Brad,
Thank you so much for everything! We've watched your show regularly for the past couple of years, and love it. We recently adopted our 2nd dog (Dexter border/lab X), and needed some quick training for our 1st dog (Bella choc lab) to overcome fear of skateboards, and a few other issues. Graham Cool came over a few weeks ago, and within 1 hour of our 2 hour session, I had the tools to work with our 1st dog. Graham was incredible - impressive. Bella is very stubborn and strong willed - but Graham taught me to be even more pigheaded than her :-) She is no longer teaching Dexter to bark and attack skateboards! I've referred a few people to Graham now, and tell everyone how amazing your training methods are, and that IT WORKS! Best money we've invested in our dogs!!!! Thank you!!!

Hello,
My name is Danielle and a recent/new member to your site. I own 2 mastiff/rotty mix, male & female, 8 mths old from the same litter.
I discovered your show on Slice about 2 months ago and started to implement your methods on my pups. For example, umbilical, no noise, hustle, I always walked through them, and paid more attention to their body language (than usual)and started to use Martingale collars with a 6' lead. I never was a treat giver, nor believe in hurtful collars (pinch collars and so forthe).
Although I found a Behaviourist only 15 min from my home, upon speaking to her in regards to her methods and how she deals with aggression, she stated "I think Martingale collars are cruel, if necessary I use a pinch collar". I was shocked by that statement and I immediately told her and chose NOT to hire her.
First time owner/Diane Holmes responded and offered to come to my Town of Carleton Place (30 min West of Ottawa) for a Personal Session. To say the least, I was flabergasted, excited, and no longer felt that help was unreachable.
We immediately did as she requested (no dogs on the furniture although they did only when invited BUT no more now, not left outside for potty time but on a lead with myself or my spouse).
When Diane arrived both of us were ready to learn, observe and impliment all she has to teach and show in handling our pups. It was an amazing 2 hours and we both saw an immediate change.
In all fairness, I must admit that on purchasing your collar and leash for each pup, I believe this has a play in it. The quality is top dog, and the Martingales I have bought in the pet stores DO NOT compare in the least.
We have since kept the pups off the furniture and they rarely try (twice since Sunday), Sniper on walks lets a bark out and lunges when he sees a dog, I immediately correct, stand in front of him, place in a sit position and he stops (wow). Half way through the walk, my spouse and I switch pup and the response is the same. Sniper reacted the same way to seeing a dog and Darryl (my spouse) did the same thing and Sniper calmed and sat.
Along our walks, we stop, put them in a sit position, they stay for 5 min now and then we continue the walk. Although I have a harder time because of my physical problems (bad back, knees and arthritic hands), Darryl and I decide to start the walks in 15 min increments until they are better controlled by use and up it til we reach 1 hour walk. MInd you I take them separate during the day for 30 min eachs cause easier with one.
Brad, I wanted to let you know how much your show, methods and views on training and behaviour correction has immensely helped and especially your CET Diane Holmes going out of her way to help us. Although we are comitted, Dinae MOST certainly is as well for driving 4 hrs to out home to help.
Congratulations to you for doing an exceptional job in preparing your new CETs, the non-hurtful methods you all use and compassion, comittment to dogs. Especially your unbelievable construction of your collars.
Forever thankful owners
Darryl and Danielle
I would like to send a commendation for your CET Emily Day who has been of very great help to me. I found her to be extremely well informed, competent, caring, fun to work with, well versed in techniques, and willing to go the extra mile to help find things that are of use in dog training. She is a very bright upbeat person whose energy is amazing.I found our course to be very helpful and would recommend her to anybody who needs to find help to train their dog.
Also would mention that I enjoy your tv shows very much.
Please pass this along to Emily...
Yours truly,
Donna W and Roscoe Barrie, Ontario Canada
