We worked with Kristi to introduce e-collar training to our reactive german shepherd mix and am so glad we did. Knowing his problems, we thought we’d have to do 8 lessons but only ended up needing 3.

Lilo did very well she learned so much in just two weeks. she learned her commands and had a great time with her trainer! She went from being extremely shy to being very confident and obedient. One thing I really love is that her personality stayed she just learned her lessons and improved so much with her trainer. The price was definitely worth it because of how much we love lilo and want her to be safe around other people, dogs, and even kids !
