Pet Boarding Training near Blue Ridge

“I was on the verge of rehoming my German Shepherd mix puppy because of behavioral issues. She is very smart and I had done a lot of training using positive reinforcement and leash pressure corrections. She could do a lot of tricks and follow commands...until she would (sometimes) decide not to, and lunge and bite at me. She was also aggressive toward certain people in my family and more rarely toward strangers. I had decided I couldn't live with the situation and talked to Nate Schoemer, whose you tube videos I had been using for training. He said I may need to use a prong collar or shock collar to correct the behavior. I wouldn't have used these more severe techniques without professional instruction. Nate highly recommended Maureen for professional training and she is within a half day drive from my home.I really had not considered professional training for my "free" rescue puppy. But I had spent 4 months training Bertie and was very attached to her. She was a lot of fun when she wasn't attacking me! I took her for a 2 week training and it was the best investment I have ever made.I made some dietary changes and have greatly increased her daily exercise. Instead of fighting against her genetic predisposition, Maureen showed me games to play with her that we both really enjoy! I am now confidently walking her off leash on local trails and although she hasn't yet gotten friendly with all people, she will sit in a climb position when instructed and understands she isn't allowed to bark at them. I know this is a long review but I could go on and on. I am so delighted that I will be able to keep my dog Bertie and I'm no longer anxious that she may attack me.“

“We were very pleased at the wonderful service we received from the staff at Pets Night Out. Our dogs absolutely loved it. I did not worry at all about them. Will be visiting again! Thanks for your kind care of our much loved furry babies!*****“
