Advanced Training Graduate, Dude
Dude - The Doberman Pinscher Rescue
Gary's Story:
"I rescued Dude from the Humane Society when he was 9 months old, and he wasn't even potty trained. It was more than I could handle, but how often do you see a Doberman at the pound? It was a bit of a nightmare. He wasn't aggressive, but had so much energy and anxiety. Before TJ, Dude had gone through another 30 day program in Missouri with a different trainer for obedience training, but still had leash aggression, anxiety, barked at bikers, and I didn't feel safe introducing him to other dogs. These were all things I was told he wouldn't have after but he still did. After meeting TJ on a road trip through Colorado I decided to drive all the way out from Missouri to do his program. After 30 days with TJ, Dude was a totally different dog. He (and I) went through the training and we spoke the same language, finally he listened, he runs on the treadmill now for exercise, and I feel safe taking him anywhere. It was total magic. He's 3 years old now and has the job he wants and I know how to identify and correct him. It's still work on my part to be disciplined and consistent, but TJ literally changed our lives and I am forever grateful.
