Four Legged Scholars LLC – Garrettsville – Dog Training and Surrounding Areas Donna and Bob called us with a cute Labrador that was only five months old name Bella. 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. Bella was not enjoying much of the new company. She growled at the vet, a person at Russell Park, and family visitors. The owners were afraid that she might bite someone. They also felt like that they couldn’t travel with her for fear that she wouldn’t be calm. They decided to work with Four Legged Scholars LLC, Garrettsville Dog Training. During our first session we began acclimating her to visitors right away starting with […]

Four Legged Scholars LLC – Garrettsville – Dog Training and Surrounding Areas Barbara called us with a Beagle she just adopted from the Portage Dog Warden. She stated that this dog wouldn’t listen to her and she didn’t know what to do. Max, a beagle, was jumping on them, pulling on the leash like crazy, running out doors and not coming when called. Barbara was worried about loosing Max and never getting him back if he were to run off. Her family decided to purchase The Dependable House Dog. They live in Garrettsville. Dog training consisted of 4 sessions with us. Max and his owners learned so much. By our last session he was sitting instead of jumping on everyone. He was running like the wind when he was called […]

Four Legged Scholars LLC – Twinsburg Dog Training Stacey and Justin came to us with a beautiful Black Labrador named Laney. Stacey felt frustrated because she couldn’t walk Laney at all. She would bark at other dogs and people on the leash. Besides this, she pulled so hard that Stacey could not control her at all. Justin was a bit stronger so he was able to walk her, but the barking was still annoying. In the yard, Laney would bark at the neighbors. When people would come over it was stressful because she was intimated by new people. She would avoid them and possibly bark and growl at them. Stacey and Justin had two children that loved having friends over and her intimidation behavior made this more stressful. The family […]

Four Legged Scholars LLC – Ravenna – Dog Training Michelle, Dave and Cassie McCoy came to us with a dog that was possessive, hyper, jumpy, and destructive. Drew, their American Eskimo, recently bit Michelle while she was playing with him. She wanted to get clear on what needed to be done so that Drew could learn to control his behavior better. In addition to this he was destructive in the house with blankets, pillows, etc. Because things were getting destroyed Michelle had to go shopping at Gabe’s near Ravenna. Dog training sounded like a good idea to this family. Dave and Cassie also noticed that Drew was very active, had trouble settling down and rarely cuddled with them. This was frustrating to them. Whenever, they got home Drew jumped all […]
