She was wonderful from day one on the phone, and gave us advice right away to keep us all safe.  When we met with her, and she was able to observe not only Cooper’s behavior, but ours as well as we all interacted with one another.  She pointed out that Cooper was having food/toy guarding issues because he viewed himself in the alpha spot, despite the fact that we thought we were.  It was then that we realized how far off the mark we really were…  But after our first lesson, we had a different dog.  She not only taught us so much about being dog owners, but also instructed us on how to use the remote collar correctly.  She has truly changed our lives.

Cooper is now a very happy dog who knows his place within our family, and he is always eager to please.  He no longer growls or snaps at us when he is eating, or playing with a favorite bone or toy.  The remote training collar is wonderful!  It makes all commands so much easier for the dog to understand, and Cooper learned much quicker than he did with the click and treat method.  Cooper and has learned many obedience commands, and can now be off leash around other dogs, and always comes when called.  Terry has proven to us that she can be an extremely valuable part of dog training.  She knows her stuff so well, and is always only a phone call away.  How many trainers will e-mail you just to see how things are going?  That says it all, and we can’t thank Terry enough for giving us the tools and directions that we needed to have a dog in our family.  

She has given us back our adorable Golden Retriever!
