Fur Real K9
If you're looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about your success and will help you build an incredible relationship with your dog, book with Renee.This was my first Doberman, and I quickly realized they are an entirely different breed to train. I struggled to figure out what motivated my dog, and if I gave too much praise, he'd decide he was in charge! Renee helped me understand how my dog thinks and taught me how to communicate with him in a way that made everything click.Beyond basic obedience, Renee helped us prepare for service work, including retrieval training. He held us accountable, making sure we actually completed all of our homework between sessions. Looking back, I think the training was harder on me than it was on my dog! But that consistency made all the difference.Without Renee, I honestly don't know if I would have been successful in training my dog, not only for the service tasks I eventually needed but even for the level of obedience we have today. By the end of our training, his off-leash recall was 100%, and it still is. Everywhere we go, people compliment his behavior and how calm and well-mannered he is in public.Renee gives you the tools to succeed, but you have to be willing to put in the work. If you're committed, the results speak for themselves. I can't recommend him highly enough.
