I first went to the school with a very hyper 7 month old chocolate lab. Shelly evaluated her and said she needed private work. I brought her there everyday for about 3 weeks. If the place was empty because they hadn't arrived yet, i had a door combination and a locked cage combination and I left her there. I was told not to do any training at home. I would pick her up in the late afternoon and then he said she is done. Well, i didn't notice any change. we went back with her and he ran her through commands, and i couldn't believe it was the same dog. The work first began because we needed her to respond to us handling her. We went a few more times for "our" corrections and Hershey will be 8 years old next month. She is the most obedient well trained dog. Thank you Shelly. Oh , and if there are any relapses you can always return for a brush up course.
