Jerry came to our house for 4 hour long training sessions with both of our dogs. We have a German Shephard mix named Katie, and a Cocker Spaniel named Chloe. Katie was always pretty well behaved, but timid around men, and barks a lot. Chloe was and is very hyper. We were having a lot of problems with her "bolting", soiling couches and beds, getting into trash cans, etc. Both dogs are very loving and attached to us, but for our sanity and theirs, we were hoping to eliminate some bad behaviors.

After 4 weeks of training over the winter season, the dogs are doing much better. We have established ourselves as much needed pack leaders. We have learned the proper way to use two different kinds of training collars. Now we are able to walk both dogs at a busy ball field with other people and dogs around, without a leash. If we are using the training collars inside, we are able to control some of the negative behaviors like barking and getting into things. Chloe has stopped running from us and has not soiled and furniture from the first day of training. Both dogs stay very close to us at all times. With Jerry's advice we were also able to try some new techniques to get Chloe through car rides without getting car sick. We know we can call Jerry with any questions/issues that might arise.

I would have to say that I am very satisfied with the training and skills that Jerry has provided us with. Of course, our dogs will never be show dogs, or perfect in the training area, but we got what we wanted out of the training and more. I would definitely recommend Jerry to anyone who is in need of animal training!

Thanks Jerry for all of your help!!

Hi Jerry,

I wanted to drop you a quick e-mail to let you know how Betty and Elkie are doing. We took Betty and Elkie to our family cabin along the river this evening. Both dogs stayed right with us. They did explore but as soon as we ask them to come closer they listened. Both dogs also played in the river. They both really enjoyed themselves. I think they will have a great time this summer!

Everything has been going just as well at home. The girls no long have accidents in the house. In addition, both girls stay in the yard with us and listen great! We are very greatful to you for providing us with the guidance it took to train both Scott and I.

I did not forget about writing you a testimonial. I should have something finished by the end of the week. Thanks again for all of your help Jerry!

Sincerely,

I really wanted to get a puppy but was scared. We had a lab puppy a few years ago and couldn't control it. My daughter was afraid of her constant jumping and nibling, she went all over the house, and it turned into a nightmare. We had to give her away. This time we got two small terriers. I was really worried they'd turn our brand new home upside down, jump and bite the kids, and basically be uncontrollable.

I am happy to report that with Jerry Mace's help the puppies are absolutely joy! As I am writing this upstairs, the puppies are sitting outside of the crate! I completely trust them not to chew things or go in the house. They are also almost completely trained to come, sit, stay, lay down, and go crate. They no longer bark while I put food into their bowls - instead, they quietly and patiently wait and watch me. When I say "ok", they start eating - truly amazing! Our friends and family can't believe what we've done! Also, with the tools Jerry gave us, my son now taught one of the puppies to fetch his ping-pong ball.

His positive re-enforcement methods totally work and I am so fortunate Jerry was able to come and help us! I wish I would've known about him years ago before we had to give our lab away. Thank you Jerry!
