Joe, an 80 lb. yellow lab, was 3 when we adopted him. It was quickly apparent that he thought he was the Alpha dog. He was stubborn and determined not to come when called. Manuela Hejna and the Tellington Method helped tremendously! She helped us with important basic obedience training, such as sit, stay, down, and come. Even more importantly, she worked with us to develop a bond with Joe; and to appreciate what a special dog he is, instead of wishing he was more like the dog we had recently lost.
I highly recommend Manuela; her gentle approach to dog training is very effective, even with a stubborn but lovable boy like Joe.
