We were adamant about starting training on the right foot and not having bad habits developing early on. We had to wait a few weeks for our puppy to be considered old enough to start the program, but once we did, we are so glad that we called Bob. \n\nBob helped us get the foundation of basic commands in place -- and from there it makes training our dog and maintaining the training he has received SO much easier. We now have a 6 month old puppy who follows commands, comes when called, walks well on a leash, does not jump on people when welcoming them, and can even go off leash in certain instances. \n\nI have to admit that the first session was the hardest. Even our puppy was trying to protest what Bob wanted him to do. But Bob was calm and worked with our dog patiently to make sure that he understood and followed the commands given. After that, the puppy protesting wasn't an issue again. \n\nIn order for this program to work, you NEED to follow Bob's directions. He makes everything clear and simple, but the owners need to do what he says. If you can commit to that, then you will be so glad you reached out to Bob!"^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ .
