I am fostering a cockapoo and considering adopting her but was hesitant because of behavioral problems. Inside she is a little angel, but outside, she turned into Tasmanian $@!#%-dog upon encountering people, dogs, squirrels, bikes etc. She was uncontrollable with barking, snarling and lunging.
My brother, who went to Quail Run training classes last spring, suggested I call Don for a private training lesson. Don gave me an appointment right away for an evaluation.
After spending a good deal of time with us, Don told me that she was a great dog and that her fear/aggression was manageable and probably fixable. He said she responded well to training and needed guidance and leadership from me. He couched me on what to do in certain situations and off we went to hopefully have many happy and enjoyable walks.
Our first walk together went very well and I am very hopeful.
I cannot thank Don enough for helping me and Jammy. I wanted this adoption to work and now I think it can thanks to THE BEST dog trainer I met today.
I will be back in the spring for the eight week course. I give my most sincere and highest recommendation to Quail Run for dog training.
