Stephen

“She is all about the positive; no punishment; no shame or pain.

In our 9 sessions, a few in our home, and several out and about, we learned how to distract our big puppy away from unwanted behavior to positive behavior.

We learned how to read his body language.

We learned how to help him.

Best tip was teaching him the word, "Cookie." Now, even when really engaged in unwanted behavior, like barking at the neighbors when they slam their doors, we will just say, "Stephen, cookie!" and he disengages and comes with us for a snack.

Britta isn't about training your dog to be an obedient dog that will walk right beside you and do all you tell them to. She's about helping you have a family member with four legs that can just be a happy dog, taking walks, sniffing as they go.

Our goals changed once we started with Britta and I'm happy they did. We don't need a "perfectly" behaved dog; we just need a perfectly happy dog.“
