"We adopted Murray in August 2018 at a rescue in Los Angeles. We let the rescue suggest dogs for us so we couldn't make an impulsive decision, and when they introduced us to Murray, we really liked how gentle he was with the kids and our 14 year old pug, Zoe.
Shortly after adopting Murray, we were charged and confronted by a neighborhood dog with a history of aggression. After that incident, Murray exploded any time he saw a strange dog, even from a block away. After one uncomfortable session with a correction-based dog trainer, I decided that a gentler approach would be best for Murray and me. I started researching science-based, positive reinforcement dog trainers and found SDK9. Working with Angie has been amazing. Her first big effect on us was to let us know it would be ok and her calm demeanor was such a great example of how to lead in a way that Murray could follow willingly. Since then, Angie has guided us on steps to take, starting first with a baseline of manners, structure and trust. Angie has also shown us the future, having Murray meet with calm socialized dogs in a safe setting to reintroduce him to other dogs. He's now been on several pack walks and quickly settles in peacefully. We are so grateful to Angie and SDK9 for giving us hope and the tools to help Murray be the amazing dog in public that he is at home." -Erik |
