Dog Name: Balto
Dog Age: 6 mos.
Dog Breed: Retriever/German Shepherd cross
Behaviour issues:
Continually chasing chickens, horses and a pet goat on the farm. He had killed multiple chickens and the owners were very concerned about keeping him
Balto was a teenager looking for a good time. Like any teenager without guidance, he was making wrong choices in thinking the farm animals were toys or food for his enjoyment.
Outcome Descriptions:
The instant we cleared up the communication problem we were able to teach Balto that farm animals were off limits. He responded beautifully to the praise of his owners which motivated him even faster to make the right choice.
Client Comment / Review:
My husband and I were skeptics but had to change our minds after Brenda and Andy were at our home for a mere 10 minutes. Brenda and Andy taught us how to effectively lead Balto and stop his unwanted behaviour. We were truly amazed at how effective their training methods worked. Balto doesn't even look at the chickens anymore and when the temptation to chase the horses and goat get too much, all I have to do is "Bah" him and he immediately stops and looks at me and comes when I call. At 9 months old he is still learning but on the way to being a tremendous companion and family friend. Thank you!
