I found Leah online when I was searching for a suitable trainer to help me work with my nervous rescue dog. He is a doxie-mix mutt of some sort, so a relatively small dog, but he was alternately scared into lock-down position or prompted to act lack a big, tough bully. With her help, he has become much more comfortable, trusting and reliable, even in situations where he used to freak out.
As he got better, we found he really needed a friend and Leah helped with our second dog as well. He is a high-energy beagle mix and really loves training. It is a great outlet for his energy. The classes and Leah's wonderful advice helped us bring the two dogs together and be able to trust them when we go out about town.
While our schedules have been limited, DHTA has offered great opportunities for review and practice at workshops. Now that I am on summer break, we will be starting the intermediate class and can't wait to see what else they can do!.
