We took our dog Ben to Applied Canine Behaviors for a private lesson, primarily to get help with loose-leash walking and coming when called. It was honestly the best $ 50 we have ever spent. Sandra gave us advice on how to work with Ben and then had us practice the techniques on her large fenced-in property while she gave us constructive feedback. Her approach is grounded in positive reinforcement(a must for dog training), and she is patient and friendly. We ended up getting help with a bunch of other habits of Ben’s that were a little annoying, and he has responded to the interventions almost immediately. He’s better at walking nicely now, and we no longer have to chase him around the yard when we want him to come in at night. We cannot recommend Applied Canine Behaviors more highly!
