Nila, my one year old Pit Bull attended the board and train at Wagsworth Manor. Prior to going to Wagsworth for training, Nila was a much loved and spoiled puppy who was in control and out of control at the same time. As she got older and smarter and stronger it became apparent that I had lost control. During the July 4th, 5-day weekend, Gretchen worked with Nila on behaviors such as jumping on people and furniture, talking (barking) when she wanted attention or something she wasn’t getting, and most important learning that I was the alpha in this relationship. On the day that I picked up Nila at Wagsworth, everyone was telling me she was a completely different dog. Gretchen worked with me for about an hour showing me how to keep up the training and techniques that she used with Nila during her stay. Nila’s behavior is drastically improved and everything that I had wanted to achieve during this round of training has been accomplished. Friends and family can’t believe the change. Nila is still the loving, cuddly, playful dog, but it is much more manageable and enjoyable. It is evident that with some professional help from Gretchen and Wagsworth, a willing owner and a smart Pit Bull can be one happy family. We still have some things to work on and I look forward to continuing our training with Gretchen.
