I had an extremely helpful session with Sara last week. I adopted my pit mix a year ago from a shelter. He’s a wonderful dog, but some serious trust issues, and he’s developed a very protective nature over me. I tried multiple avenues to correct this behavior with no success. Sara was extremely knowledgable. Her training philosophy focused on addressing the abnormal behavior rather than avoiding situations that set him off. In contrast to other recommendations I was given in the past, this really struck a chord with me. Before I met Sara I felt like I had to avoid commonplace situations just in order to keep him in a neutral state. I constantly felt on edge. Sara helped me to be more confident in taking the lead. She spent as much time as I needed to address any specific concerns I had or questions. I especially loved that she took the time to take him to the places where we were having the most trouble. We went on walks together and addressed the issues right then and there so I knew exactly how to properly correct in the future. Her training is practical focusing on pact instinct. I also appreciated her recommendations on diet, and products specific to our needs. I appreciate that these methods take time, and nothing is perfect yet, but I see progress! I can’t wait to continue moving forward with confidence and see more positive changes.
