What people say...

 

Marie, KT does NOT bark now at the phone or knocks on the door! Our "tricks" training is slow but the way we do it and we both enjoy it. The biggest change I have experienced is in our relationship; we seem to communicate more, she shows understanding usually and has become more attached to me in the evenings. KT is 99% non-barking with other dogs. Huge improvements for us. Thank you.
I appreciated your comraderie and goodwill. Please do not hesitate to use me as a reference.

Marie has been a huge help for us. We had been struggling with our hyper-active and occasionally aggressive dog, and decided to give one more dog trainer a try (we've consulted with a handful the past few years.) And I'm so glad we did! She helped us to pinpoint our concerns and came up with specific strategies for us to work on with Zia. From modifying her diet to the ways we interacted with her, we began to notice a difference relatively quickly in not only our dog's behavior but also in our realizations that she could and would be capable of being the dog we hoped for. Perhaps the most helpful aspect of Marie's training for us was that she came to us and addressed our concerns in our own home and neighborhood, working as a partner with us and helping to build up our confidence in training our dog.  She even brought one of her own dogs to assist with our exercises, allowing us to reproduce some of our challenging situations and build strategies to address them.  Marie has been professional, and her training methods are not harsh, but effective.  We would recommend her and hope to enroll in her group classes in the future.

"When your first dog is a 56kg, four year old, male Rottweiler without any social, behavioural or obedience training, it is always going to be a tough task, when the dog is thought to have a questionable temperament, it is going to be even more difficult.? Boisterous is a nice way of saying he was practically uncontrollable. Gus demonstrated every characteristic and behaviour that made it extremely difficult for anyone to want to take him. Yet, despite this, you saw the potential in him and convinced us to persevere.

Everyday we are seeing improvements in Gus that are making it worthwhile. The advise, training and assistance you have provided ensured we learned the necessary skills to enable productive communication that improved not only our lives but Gus' immeasurably."

"Just a note of thanks for the help you gave us with Max. He is a different dog from when we moved into our new place - and back to his normal self.

The severe separation anxiety has all gone. We can leave him and he is calm and relaxed about it.

The techniques your taught us and Max during your visits have certainly done the trick and our lovely dog is back."

"We were beginning to wonder if our dog could remain as part of our family as she was so unmanageable. She would jump all over us when we walked outside causing injuries, roared down the steps under our feet and nearly knock us over. If off leash, she would never come when called and it was her taking me for a walk, constantly pulling and going where she wanted to go. My biggest fear was her jumping all over visitors (especially my grandchildren).

Over the past few weeks DogTech has shown us how to manage her on walks, at home and with other people and it has brought us so much happiness and harmony back into our lives. Dee Dee is now a very enjoyable part of our day as she now obeys commands, enjoys her daily walks, plays in the river and returns to us when called, sits an stays, walks down the stairs after us, doesn't run away, plays fetch and just seems to be a much happier dog."
