Chicago Rescue Dog Training

Dear Fred and Carla,

I cannot begin to thank you for the wonderful 2-day seminar you gave in Chicago this past weekend.  Having never attended a dog training seminar, I had no idea what to expect.  All I can say is "WOW"; I learned an amazing amount in such a short period of time.

My experience may be different from other seminar attendees since I came with a 7 month old poodle puppy whose obedience was shaping up nicely. Unlike other folks who were struggling with aggressive dogs, I hoped to learn how to go to the next level of obedience without having to quit my day job to do so!  Training a dog with a leash and my voice was okay but required a lot of time every single day.  While I enjoyed the training time, I knew I could not continue to devote that much time to training my dog. 

I am willing to work hard but also was interested in learning a new and smarter way to train.  Initially I was concerned that Sadie’s spirit might be dampened by the e-collar.  I loved her joy in working and excited way of living each day and didn’t want to diminish that energy. 

Much to my delight, the e-collar has already helped with Sadie Louise’s training and hasn’t dampened her spirit one bit.  She is paying better attention and all the while has the same springy, enthusiastic prance of a very happy poodle puppy.  See you when you return to Chicago for more training in January.
