Hi Virginia!

I just wanted to give you an update on Dozer since it has been a little over a month since his training with you.  Let me just say we have a completely different dog!  He is still the Dozer we love, but he is so much more relaxed and listens so well!  He ALWAYS comes when called...no more shaking the box of treats for 10 minutes yelling his name at the door for him to come inside!  Also, if he gets something he isn't supposed to have, he leaves it immediately as soon as we tell him to and doesn't show his teeth or guard it at all.  We are even able to have him around my nieces and nephews now.  He doesn't get in their faces or knock them down and they can even run around without him nipping at them or herding them into the corner.  It is so awesome!  The great thing is that we rarely even have to use the collar.  If we happen to have forgotten to put it on him that morning, he still listens just as well. I just want to say thank you for all the work you have done with him!  He is definitely a happier dog and I can see many more years of happy memories instead of stress and worry over what he will do next.  For a dog that I thought was completely hopeless and untrainable, you have definitely proven me wrong!  Thank you again!

 Hi Virginia,

Just wanted to drop you a quick line and give you an update on the guys. There have been absolutely zero problems with either Andy or Sophie. They are back to being their old selves again. In other words, our pack is back. All four of the dogs and Debbie and I can be in the same room together with no tension or animosity. All four dogs just hang with each other and Andy, Sophie and Mitchell play together.

Thanks for bringing our home back to normal. What you did has to be classified as a miracle! If you perform two more miracles, the Catholic Church will make you a Saint, and I'd be all for it. Thanks, again.

Frank Udowski, Shelby, Andy, Sophie and Mitchell

I can't thank you enough for training Teddy to enjoy a happy, joyful life. He would never have been happy living life on a short leash. It's amazing to see how quickly Teddy responds. I will always remember seeing how happy Mr. Ted was while diving into the pond, swimming, retrieving the tug and then bringing it right back.  I know there will be a lot of swimming in our future. We can enjoy our Teddy while he enjoys life. I feel much more secure traveling with Teddy as he is so well mannered and quick to respond. I especially admire and respect that all Ted's training was done with a calm voice and great patience. Many thanks for your patience and for loving Ted."

Virginia did an amazing job with Lilly, our rescue Golden Retriever. She took a scared, unresponsive rescue Golden and gave her the confidence to grow into a wonderful addition to our home. Virginia also worked with our other Golden, Dylan, who was already obedience trained, but taught him (and us) to obey our commands off leash.

We're now able to take both the Goldens on walks through the woods behind our home without holding their leashes. We know the dogs will not chase after the ducks, geese, rabbits and birds we see on the trail every time.

I recommend Virginia to all the people who adopt rescue Goldens from us (we're foster parents for GRRAND.ORG) whether they have major issues, like our Lilly did, or they are well adjusted Goldens.

I've referred others to Virginia and everyone has had the same experience as I have.

Thanks Virginia for giving us a well adjusted pack of Goldens to enrich our lives each day!
