I've taken several dogs to this training, Fun for the Dogs, and always useful as each dog is different and requires unique guidance. The Owner is very patient and will work with you if your having special needs. a great opertunity to understand how and why dogs bad behavior occurs, plus education for pet parent on how to apply Praise equals correction method, where a dog not be frightened. Trust of human, brings happy rewards to man's best friend.

I'm a long time dog owner but a first time GSD owner. My pretty girl was a bit more than we expected. Janet and team were great with her. They gave me specific pointers just for issues we were having, outside the normal class obedience training. We went on from basic obedience to off leash training classes. While my pup is still too young to be trusted completely, she has made great progress.

With all the handouts and homework Janet gives after each class, I can go back and make sure I'm still doing things correctly. Especially now with COVID shutting gatherings down again. My pup needs constant training to keep her mentally stimulated (and not eating the furniture). The handouts are wonderful references.

This class is a great opportunity -- to train yourself to be a good owner. As with anything that's worthwhile, it requires work, but it's well worth it. They are crystal clear about what to bring, what to do, what co statutes good dog manners. There were a few red faces when owners would go off on how Fido was strong willed, whatever, then hand the dog over to the assistants. Within minutes, Fido would trot through the circle, lie down, sit, perfectly fine.

I grew up around dogs and have always had dogs, so I myself was embarrassed at how much I didn't know. There are degrees and there are degrees of training yourself. You decide. I chose medium trained for myself and my son. He doesn't have to obey every stricture, because I was too exhausted to be that great of a dog owners, but he occasionally gets complimented on his good manners. Getting dog training will vastly increases the quality of your life, and it's also a favor to your dog.

I am so thankful to the amazing trainers at Guaranteed Dog Training. I came to therm with a year old German Shepherd who was aggressive and fearful towards other dogs and some people. We had gone through two training classes at another dog training facility, but they were unable to help me socialize him and without that we were having obediance issues even after attending 12 weeks of their training classes With Guaranteed, I saw results as quickly as the second week of class, it was like I had a different dog.

With their direction, I was able to become the leader my dog needed and we connected on a whole different level. It has been so wonderful being able to take walks with him without any incidences and have house quests again. I cannot recommend Guaranteed Dog Training highly enough. They are professional dog handlers. They have four trainer at available, so problem areas like I had with my dog were addressed and solutions given immediately. Janet worked with us individually, until I got IT! Not only are they experts with the dogs but their people training skills are awesome as well. We loved our Shepard before but now we are really enjoying him, plus we can be social again.
