Ashley contacted us for help with her young Boxer, Bowie. He was the definition of an out-of-control dog—jumping on guests, mouthing, pawing for attention, extreme leash pulling, and no manners.
Over 6 weeks, we taught Bowie what was expected of him so he didn’t need to be crated all the time and could actually enjoy walks.
Before our final session, we received this update:
“Last night I had work friends over and they had never met Bowie before. He was very excited, but instead of jumping all over them he stayed down and was still his loveable self.
Usually he sniffs around, knocks things over, and tries to eat everything. Instead, he lay down next to my chair the entire time. When my friends called him, he walked over calmly and let them pet him without mouthing or getting overly excited.
We had NO accidents and he got MANY compliments on how well behaved he is. I didn’t feel the need to crate him, which usually happens when we have guests. I wanted to cry!”

If your dog sounds like Bowie, we can help you build the same kind of calm behaviour at home.
