| - So pleased with the help Jade provided. We just completed four training sessions and can't believe the difference it made.
Before Jade, we had completed all levels of training at a big chain pet store and, while our dog Cabo could do all sorts of commands, we still struggled with obedience (taking things and eating them, jumping to greet people, etc.). We thought that that was just the best our dog could do. But when my husband and I found out we were expecting our first baby we knew we had to at least try for something better. We didn't want our dog taking a baby's toys, jumping on my pregnant belly, or swallowing things she shouldn't.
Jade helped big time! She had a compassionate approach that is also very effective. She "gets" dogs and what makes them tick and turns that knowledge into smart training that actually works. I appreciated that her approach was positive, without shock collars or negative reinforcement, and not treat based, since you don't always have treats in hand.
Now that our baby is here we can leave out toys (never thought that could happen!) without fear of Cabo stealing them. We can also bring guests to our house without Cabo jumping on them. The work isn't "done;" Jade made sure we understood that we will have to work with Cabo her whole life so she stays on top of her new skills, but things are so much better than before. Jade gave us and Cabo the skills we all need to succeed as a family of four.
