“Andrew is an outstanding trainer!
He was first recommended to me by a friend whose dog had been successfully trained by Andrew. The positive changes in my friend’s dog’s behavior were so significant and obvious I decided to have my male black lab Doctor go through Andrew’s board & train program too.
My black lab was two years-old at the time, friendly, happy and headstrong, as well as totally unaware of his 95-lb strength. After Doctor completed the board & train program, he was a solid citizen—he knew all the basic commands like sit, down, stay, heel, place, come, leave it and drop it, but more importantly Doctor was just so much easier to live with and more enjoyable to take along on outings.
Even though Andrew was strict with him during training, Doctor loved Andrew, so when a year later I needed to go on an extended trip out of the country for two weeks, I boarded Doctor with him. I felt comfortable leaving the country knowing that Andrew would take excellent care of him in my absence.
Two years later, I recently again took Doctor back to Andrew for a few days of remedial leash training, with very positive results. Over the previous two years, I’d gotten a little inconsistent and lax in not always holding Doctor to Andrew’s high behavioral training standards, which is why the refresher training was needed.
My goal now is to get Doctor certified as a therapy dog, so that I can take him to visits patients at local hospitals. He’s such a friendly and gentle dog, and I know patients will absolutely love him. If it weren’t for the positive behaviors Doctor has learned from Andrew, though, becoming a therapy dog would not even be a realistic goal.
Thanks again Andrew & Citizen K9!!!”
