Reactive

A reactive dog overreacts to normal situations that other dogs would take in stride. They become overstimulated easily and may bark, lunge, and growl at something as simple as another dog or person walking on the other side of the street. Attention to training is extremely important, as reactivity can turn into aggression. The cause… Read More

I wanted my Pugs to be able to walk loose leash, stay in distracting situations, and come to me when called. We had tried various other training methods and were especially concerned with our dog who would chase cars. With SMS, those goals were mastered with in a couple months. The Pugs have since passed the intermediate level and are working on advanced skills. SMS has changed our lives and deepened the bond with our dogs. I see dogs of all ages and breeds in group class, doing what their owners thought wasn’t possible for their dog. Your dog can do it and SMS is there to show you how.

I was at the end of my rope with our dog Rufus. I told my husband to get rid of him of course he said no let’s try some training. I agreed to try training however it was against my better judgement. Rufus would eat our furniture he put holds in not one but two couches, eat the kids toys, and wait until we went back inside and then he would go to the bathroom. So we have done about 3 training sessions with Rufus and I am in total awe at how completely different he is. Rufus is so much calmer now and he listens. What a concept I give him a command and he does it. Dave and his staff are absolutely amazing at what they do. We still have some things to work on with Rufus but he has made leaps and bounds thus far and I can’t believe that I was thinking about getting rid of him. Even if you have minor things that you need to address I would definitely recommend sit means sit.
