Simply the Best

It has been less than 24 hours since we’ve pick up our dog from his training program at Waterdog Kennels, and we are amazed how much more attentive, respectful and calmer he has become. If you’ve seen the movie Marley & Me, our Trooper was definitely a Marley. He continually jumped at us, barked and snapped when he wanted attention, and walking him was more of a chore than a pleasure. We were relived when we returned from our walks, not only because that chore was completed, but all body parts were in tack and we did not dislocate a shoulder or arm. Advil was our drug of choice after our ½ mile speed jog. Yesterday we enjoyed both on lease walking, as Trooper calmly stayed by our left side, and we are extremely excited with the ability to stroll with Trooper off collar through our own fenceless yard, and he strolled with us, and came when called. Kristie is a remarkable trainer; we enjoyed her technique and her interaction with our pet. One thing I continually watched for was the interaction between Trooper, with Kristie & Drew when we were all together, and it warmed my heart that even though we were visiting Trooper during his training, he also continued to play and show excitement towards Drew and Kristie, which tells me they gave him structure, but love as well. He was in good hands, and I never felt he was mistreated. Besides their training program, Waterdog Kennels also boards pets, and as long as we have Trooper he will be boarded at Waterdog Kennels.
