Sadie Continued
We knew she had to be trained, and we were'nt getting anywhere fast with her. We looked into some of the mega pet stores programs watched a few, and knew right away that wasn't going to correct our problems. We needed help.
Luckily for us and Sadie my wife ran into Laurent at our Vet's office. She spoke with him briefly and was impressed. She passed his info onto me, and we set up a meeting.
Thirty-Five minutes later we had a plan. Boot Camp, and the Perfect Puppy Program. My wife and I knew that it was the only solution. So we packed her up and sent her to stay in-home with the Elite Pro.
The service was awesome. We would get frequent updates on her progress. We got to see her in action after just a few weeks, and let me tell you SHE WAS INCREDIBLE. Sit, stay, down, come here, every command she was given she was obeying. On leash, and off leash. Let me remind you this is the same Beagle that would almost take your arm off trying to follow her nose only three weeks prior. The training continues.
Her training wasn't complete yet, she still had a few weeks to go before perfection. Let me fast-forward to when we got her back home.
It is great to have a dog, no scratch that, a K9 family member that knows how to behave like a family member. She no longer howls, gets on our furniture, or even tries to take off when her nose tries to take her somewhere. She was professionally trained, and it shows. Oh yeah, so were we.
Remeber when I said we had tried to teach her basic obedience ourselves? Well we aren't professional dog trainers. In fact we were causing more harm than we were good. Laurent fixed that though. He came by our home 3-4 times a week to train us. YES, we got trained as well.
In those sessions we learned how to be the leaders of the pack, and how to communicate with our newly reformed Beagle. The service didn't stop there.
We get phone calls checking up on how shes doing, and if there are any new issues. We can call anytime we need to, for anything that might come up.
Thank You Laurent, and Thank you Elite Professional Dog Training for taking the monster out of "Sadie Monster".
