Trainer(s): Sherri Barnes
Bowser & Stitch

Dog Name:  Bowser & Stitch

Dog Age:  1 yr. 6 mos. and 2 yrs. 6 mos.

Dog Breed:  Bassett Hounds

Behaviour issues: 

Separation Anxiety, jumping up, marking, pulling on leash, barking

 

Bowser and Stitch had separation anxiety.  They would bark if they couldn’t see owners or when owners had to leave for work.    They were marking in the house, jumping up on people and furniture when uninvited and the owners were not enjoying their dogs to their fullest.  The dogs had a generalized lack of respect for the owners as well.

Outcome Descriptions: 

After the initial lesson, both dogs were happy to consider themselves retired from thinking their owners were something to worry so much about.  They now have worthy pack leaders and don’t feel the need to mark in the house, bark and whine when they are separated from them and the jumping up has been minimized.    The pack is balanced and they are all enjoying each other’s company so much more.

Client Comment / Review: 

I am absolutely thrilled with Sherri's help and tips. The dogs have already shown incredible improvement and I can't wait to see what happens after a couple weeks.

Our foster dog with some big separation anxiety issues has completely transformed overnight and is ready to find a forever home. I know he will make a wonderful pet for somebody!

I have read a ridiculous number of books about dogs, been to puppy class until our dog was 6 months and went straight into an 8 week dog manners class and never felt as good as I did after Sherri showed us a few very easy techniques. It really is so easy that I feel silly we didn't 'get it' before! The time Sherri spent with us is invaluable, I am so grateful & would recommend her to anybody, even if you are not having problems with your dogs, she can show you how to have a strong relationship based on communication that your dog understands. I have so much confidence I feel like my dog and I can do anything!

Thank you!!!
