​Congrats ​to SDK9's newest Spotlight Students, Laura & Blaze!
I adopted Blaze from a small local rescue near San Diego. I had initially planned to adopt a 1-2 year old dog, but when I saw his sweet puppy face, I was sold (I like to say he picked me). He was 3 months old when I adopted him and I've had him now for 7 months. We had a lot of issues to work on when I sought out training, but our biggest issue was all things related to walking, especially leash reactivity. He was very reactive to both people and dogs and would lay down and refuse to walk or throw puppy tantrums by jumping up and biting at me or the leash. Many attempts at walks ended with tears of frustration or anxiety because he was barking and lunging at neighbors. 

Angie at SDK9 changed everything for us and I'm so happy I found her through a recommendation from my awesome vet. I knew she was the trainer for us based on her fear free approach that focuses on using science-based strategies and her extensive experience working with rescue pups. 

Because of training with Angie, Blaze actually likes walks now and his reactivity has greatly improved. I now have the tools and techniques to manage any sort of situation we run into on walks - which opens up the door to us to be able to enjoy various adventures instead of limiting our world because of his reactivity. Several other problematic behaviors have also improved through training, including impulsivity, mouthing, barking at everything he saw outside through the patio door, etc. Most importantly, Blaze and I communicate better and our relationship has become so much stronger because of our training with Angie. Our quality of life has greatly improved thanks to Angie and I'm so grateful.    ~Laura
