We were expecting a calm, happy dog but instead received a scared, anxious ball of nerves. He wouldn't leave our side and showed his anxiety by acting out in every way possible. Countless piles of pee and poop, destroyed couches, ripped up carpet all the way to concrete, and chewed furniture awaited us upon our return home from every time we left the house. We were prisoners in our own home. We didn't want to give up on him but could see how someone could make that decision. As a last resort we decided to look for some outside help. Our research led us to Elissa at Three Rivers Dog training. After three months of work, several visits, and hundreds of text messages we now have the happy well adjusted dog we hoped for. He is able to be crated and actually enjoys the time he spends alone in his crate. Thanks to the lessons she has taught us, we are now able to have normal lives again. The compliments we receive on his behavior are a testament to how much she really cares for dogs and for how much she helped us, and for that, we are thankful."^^ . "1"^^ .
