I was initially skeptical about the training program that I enrolled my dog Kai in. It was expensive and I wasn't sure if I and maybe more importantly, Kai would truly benefit from it since she was only 9 months old.

Well, it has been a little over two months since Kai finished her training with you. And I am very happy to report that it was worth every bit of the cost. She is light on a leash. No more pulling. No more yanking. She is a joy to walk with now.

Before her class, if we were outside and she was off leash I couldn t trust her to come. Now, walking off leash is easy because she comes when called. If she hesitates, a short buzz on her training collar gets her back on track.

Before class responding to commands seemed to really depend on what else was going on in her life at the time. She might have responded, then again, she might not. It was up to her. Since training she is near perfect with her command responses. She is remarkably obedient for a 10 month old puppy.

Fortunately she is still does puppy things, for which I am grateful. She definitely has her goofy moments and she still plays like a puppy. Being well trained didn't impact her playfulness at all. She makes me laugh daily and definitely has brought joy to my life.

Bottom line for me, you took a good dog and a good companion and made her a truly wonderful dog and companion. Thank you and your team at Happy Hound for that.
