Four Legged Scholars LLC – West Farmington – Dog School Susan called me with a dog that she couldn’t control. Petey, was a cute Pit Bull that pretty did whatever he wanted when he wanted to do it. Susan didn’t know how to get him to listen.  She was struggling with a large dog that was jumping on guests, ignoring her, not coming when called, and had bad leash manners. Susan purchased eight sessions with us so that we could work on West Farmington dog school with Petey. In just two sessions, Petey began jumping on people less and was listening. By Thanksgiving, Susan went to a large family gathering and Petey was so good that he didn’t jump on anyone! During the winter months, she travels to Florida. She […]

Four Legged Scholars LLC – Puppy Training – Streetsboro Marjorie Monk called me in regards to her son’s dog Smokey, a four-month old Siberian Husky. Jesse, her son, and her were struggling with this puppy because he loved jumping on people and was having accidents regularly in the house. He also was chewing toilet paper and furniture in the house. The owners were frustrated and were not sure how to solve these problems. Jesse immediately decided to do four sessions with us and purchased The Dependable House Dog. Puppy training (Streetsboro) was our main focus, we immediately addressed the jumping and house training issue. Smokey was a puppy that excited easily and had tons of energy. More so than most puppies I have seen. However, in just the first session […]

He wanted to be able to let them run free in their yard and his dogs kept running off. One of the dogs actually got hit by a car, and he didn’t want that to happen again.

Four Legged Scholars LLC – Gates Mills – Puppy Training Denise called me in desperation. Her Maltese, Sammy, was running hyper at home. When it was time to “come,” Sammy played chase. In fact, it took Denise up to 20 minutes to grab Sammy at times. When Neil, Denise’s husband, went to grab Sammy he would pee. He also would bark and didn’t stop on command. Denise and Neil decided it was time a for change. They purchased the Dependable House Dog Program and did four sessions with Four Legged Scholars LLC, Gates Mills, Puppy Training. We began teaching Sammy to come reliably on command. Sammy also learned to sit and stay. This way they were able to call him easily and then get him stay near them. Then we […]

Four Legged Scholars LLC – Dog Training Streetsboro Calah called me very stressed. Her dogs were extremely jumpy with guests. She had four Rottweilers that lived there and none of them had gone through any basic dog training. Streetsboro is where they live. She also wasn’t able to walk any of the dogs, they bolted out the back door and rarely came when she called them. As a result, the house was run by these 4 dogs. Dozer was older and didn’t get into trouble much. However, the three younger ones were a handful Shyla, Missy and Bear. It took some time for Calah to see a huge change in the household since wee were training three dogs. However, by our last session all three dogs were sitting and waiting […]

Four Legged Scholars LLC – West Farmington – Puppy Obedience Anne Rubin came to us with a new puppy that she recently brought to her home. She knew nothing on how to train a cute puppy. The puppy is a Labradoodle named Teddy and was just 8 weeks old. This a great time to dive into training so Anne decided that she would get started on the right foot with her puppy. She purchased twelve sessions with us in West Farmington. Puppy obedience was our main focus. I remember the first day I came, Teddy was having potty accidents almost daily. He didn’t know any commands so he was chewing on people’s socks and shoes. He also would grab Anne’s grandson’s toys and wouldn’t give them up on command. He […]

Four Legged Scholars LLC – Aurora Dog Trainer Corrina called me and expressed that she had been in tears because walking her dog was very stressful. Her dog, Millicent, a Boxer / Labrador Mix, started barking and lunging at every dog she saw on their leash walks. Corrina is very educated and had spent tons of time socializing Millie and even taking a course at Petsmart. When Millie began barking at dogs, Corrina talked to the instructor and she was unable to guide her in the way that Corrina needed to have happy leash walks with Millie again. That’s when she talked to the Aurora Veterinary Clinic, and they recommended Four Legged Scholars LLC (Aurora Dog Trainer). Corrina purchased eight one-on-one training sessions with us. They began to see progress very quickly. […]

Four Legged Scholars LLC – Ravenna – Dog Training  Shelby called us with a Morkie (Maltese Yorkshire Terrier), named Duckie that wasn’t listening at all. She was feeling stressed because Duckie had a mind of her own. She wasn’t listening at all. She was struggling with a dog that was peeing all over the house, jumping, not settling, and pulling on the leash. She didn’t have any control over Duckie’s behavior. She decided to invest in five private (Ravenna) dog training sessions with us. We began focusing on the house training issues because the pee accidents were a mess in the house. Within a week Duckie went to having no accidents in the house. Shelby felt much relief in having a cleaner house. This made everything more pleasant in Ravenna. […]

Bella was skittish around new people including their grandchildren who they have over often. Its summer and time to have family over to play in their backyard pool.
