We have two dogs—one 6 years old and one 2—and before training, neither of them had any structure. Unfortunately, they picked up each other’s bad habits to the point where walks were stressful and nearly impossible. We couldn’t control them, they barked constantly when outside, and they wouldn’t listen to commands once there were any distractions.
That’s completely changed now. With simple, consistent commands, they actually listen. Walks have become enjoyable instead of overwhelming, and we can confidently have them outside without nonstop barking. They’re calmer, more responsive, and overall much happier—and so are we.
The time and money we invested were absolutely worth it, and we’re committed to continuing the work to reinforce these great habits. We truly cannot thank Ramiro and Dog Training Elite enough. Having the training done in our home, in their natural environment, made all the difference. It was a game-changer for our dogs and for us.
