Thank Goodness for My DogSmith
My partner and I adopted what we thought was an aggressive dog with a major biting problem. Following a mixture of "neighborly advice" and antiquated training methods, we had no luck at all in gaining trust, fostering respect or enforcing good behaviors. Thank God for Niki Tudge. She came in and immediately did a thorough consultation with us, the humans. Over the next few weeks staying with Niki she worked with our adopted dog on those behaviors that were the greatest concern to us then helped us to understand him better and she even worked with our first dog. Not only did the exercise schedule that Niki prescribed help us but also strengthened our dog-human bond as we trained. To make a long story short, we now have a loving relationship with both of our dogs and are
able to have guests over without fearing for their appendages.
