What one realizes after beginning this program is that most dogs are not trained. Everyone is just walking around with their fingers crossed. My three year old Vizsla had all kinds of bad habits, barking at the window, combative on the leash when he saw other dogs, jumping up in excitement, chasing rabbits, deer and squirrels and generally not listening. This is a progressive training that yields astonishing, lasting results. Finally, this is all about safety. Gary is patient, knowledgable and knows exactly what he is doing. Now, when I'm at a park and call my dog-- he comes regardless of what the distractions might be. Every day there is someone who comments on how well trained my dog is. This was life-changing. I can't recommend this enough.
