I want to take the time to thank Lara, with Happy Dog Happy Owner, for her assistance training our little pug, Milo. For the most part, Milo could be trusted off leash, but we were concerned with how "overly friendly" he was with other dogs and people. While that doesn't sound like a problem, we were worried about not being able to control him in potentially dangerous situations. When Milo was distracted by other people or dogs, it was nearly impossible for us to get him to come, so I decided to get some help. After getting to know me and Milo, Lara began with some simple exercises and a game to get Milo excited to come when called. The game turned into something that our entire family (including our son) now plays at home. We talked about some other techniques that could be used while out in public (where the problem typically occurred) and I began implementing them right away on our daily walks. I was surprised at how quickly each of the exercises and techniques worked and we are well on our way to solving the problem. What really stood out was the fact that Lara took the time to teach me how to work on the problem at home with my family and I never felt pressured to sign up for weeks and weeks of classes to work on the issue. I will continue to use Happy Dog Happy Owner for any additional training needs.



Thanks, Brian and Milo
