We are more confident dog owners.
Our first and only dog had difficulty staying focused on walks and was easily triggered by cars. We were frustrated and needed direction as owners. Lesley introduced us to new markers and Pattern Games* to strengthen our communication with our dog. Now when triggers occur, we know how to redirect our dog in a positive manner.
As owners, we learned how to read our dog’s body language, understand how reinforcement works, and new obedience skills to navigate the world around us. From our dog’s point of view, our walks have been longer, he gets to go more places with us, and he fell in love with Lesley. The relationship with our dog has never been better!
