| - I have a 2 year old high energy (and very large!) rescue named Huck. I'd worked with another trainer before with little success at conquering basic obedience. As soon as there were distractions (people, dogs, etc), his listening skills went out the window. We recently moved in with my boyfriend, who came with 2 more dogs as well as 2 cats (aka things to scare and chase), it became very apparent we needed help.
Working with Felix was the best decision I made. His one-on-one attention and training tailored to Huck and the issues we had was amazing. I had doubts that we'd ever get to the point where Huck would lay down, and remain down with distractions (dogs, people calling for him, toys being thrown), but we'd achieved that within the first couple of weeks. I also was a big fan of getting 2 group lessons in addition to the private training, as going into that setting helped solidify and prove what he learned wasn't just in a quiet, controlled environment.
He has turned into a wonderful dog who not only listens to commands, but thrives from learning and practicing the way Felix has taught.
In addition, I can happily report that not only has Huck been broken of the habit of chasing the cats, he has been caught snuggling with them on the couch. It really has been an incredible transformation and process.
