Pike’s Peak Manners In Minutes

In Sep 2010, I took my Border Collie, who’d spent his entire first 7.5 months in a crate (so he wouldn’t get into trouble) and then 3 weeks with a dog that would start to play and then attack. My adopted dog was terrified of anything he’d never seen before (pretty much everything) and any dog who tried to play with him).
I met Doug at a pet expo and called shortly thereafter to schedule an evaluation. At the evaluation I learned more about why dogs behave as they do and how they think than I ever had before. I signed up for training and had the first of 2 private classes that month. Then life happened and I was unable to return for the 2^nd class for 13 months. Throughout the 13 months I continued the training exercises Doug told me to use and when I finally got back for the 2^nd class, my dog had progressed so that he was ready to attend neighborhood pack.
Neighborhood pack is a wonderful place and works wonders for all dogs, no matter what issues they have. Doug always asks everyone what concerns they have about their dogs and then we do exercises to desensitize them. I’ve seen very dramatic changes in my dog, who is now one of the senior dogs and a pack leader, and in many other dogs. Shy dogs develop confidence, aggressive dogs learn correct body language and language skills, noisy dogs learn how to be quiet, fearful dogs learn that they have nothing to fear, and owners learn how to understand their dogs better than they ever thought possible.
I still take my Border Collie to neighborhood pack because it’s good for both of us and we enjoy it. I love to see the huge improvements that most dogs make when they attend group. In addition, because Doug thinks that once you’ve trained one dog with him you should be able to train the next one himself, I’ve self-​trained my youngest and newest dog. I took her to Doug to be evaluated for neighborhood pack attendance and she passed. Because my first dog helped train the 2^nd one, it was fairly easy to get her to the point that she could go into neighborhood pack where I’m sure her fear of men will be erased as we go along. She’s been twice now and has done beautifully.
You can’t go wrong with Doug and PPMIM!
