We are extremely happy with the changes in Memphis' behavior. Stacy showed us that because we didn't impose any rules on Memphis while we were in the apartment, he had no reason to listen to us when we were at the park or during walks. From our first meeting, I had a better understanding of why Memphis acted the way he did in these social situations. Now, it's nice to be able to take Memphis to the dog run or on a walk and know that he will be able to co-exist with other dogs, and listen to us when necessary.
Before we started working with Stacy, Memphis barked at people in the elevator, provoked larger dogs he met on the street, and went crazy every time the doorbell rang. We tried addressing these behavior problems on our own, but weren't seeing any results. It turns out our method for "training" Memphis was only reinforcing his bad behavior. After working with Stacy and learning how to properly train Memphis, he patiently sits in the elevator, co-exists with larger dogs, and has learned he must sit quietly in his bed before any guests can come through the door.
Here are the 3 most significant improvements thanks to Stacy:
- Our dog is no longer in control of the apartment, we are, and he listens to our commands.
- We have the proper tools to be able to prevent bad behavior in the future.
- Happier, more obedient dog…and happier owners.
