Inexperience and a brand new puppy that I was not ready for. Didn’t do my research completely when I got Kodi (Mal x GSD) and that came back to bite me in the butt literally. My search lead me to Stephanie when I saw she had the same type of dog and that’s when I knew she could relate to my situation.
Meet Kodi!
What was the reason you contacted Stephanie for training?
How has training helped Kodi?
Since I started training with Stephanie a bit early we were able to establish a good foundation. The foundation for obedience has helped till this day. I’d still be marking and improperly timing corrections if Stephanie wasn’t there to correct me.
What’s the most valuable training you and Kodi have received from Stephanie?
The confidence to handle Kodi that led to the relationship we have now. I wouldn’t trade this for anything. I’m happy that I started training early and glad Stephanie was able to encourage/guide us along the way. We would have been lost without her and probably in a worse situation.
