| A year ago, Spike would have been walking
with a leash wearing a spiked collar and barely feeling it when
I pulled on him for correction. Now, he has no
leash on at all and obeys
all the time when I just give a command. If he
does have to have a leash on, now it's just a flexi-leash attached
to his regular collar, which is something we had never even attempted
before. |

|
A year ago, he would maybe sit or lie down if Spike
felt like it. Now he sits, downs, stops etc as soon as I say or
give the corresponding command.
|
|
A year ago we would never dream of taking away his bone, toy,
ball, towel or whatever he had in his mouth without him growling
and snapping at us. Now we just say 'off' and pickup the bone
or whatever, without a blink from Spike. Now
he enjoys a game of fetch because he knows about dropping the
ball for us.
|
A year ago, Spike was definitely in control,
even if he didn't know it, but at 135 lbs, I knew if he wanted
to, he'd be gone. Now we both know I'm in control and are both,
I think, definitely happier for it. Now it is enjoyable for
us to go for a walk without a problem or it being a stressful
event.

Many thanks, Jeff for such a tremendous
improvement in such a short time for Spike, John
and myself. We've all learned so much.
