Every Dog Has Its Day

I don’t know why it took me so long to sit down and write this review. We adopted 2 rescued Schnauzers 2 years ago. The good news, was that the foster mother had hired Mandy from Every Dog Has Its Day, and the dogs were well on there way to being well trained when we took them home.
We continued the private training and eventually graduated to a group class. Clearly, positive reward systems work with dogs, and I’m pretty sure the same can be said for humans. Mandy is amazingly patient with dogs AND their humans.
The dogs are integrated into our family, and my husband and I admit that when we are consistent and positive with the dogs, we get amazing results!

Just a few months ago, we adopted an adorable Mini Schnauzer, and as with most dogs that have been through the system, he had a few behavioral issues. We wanted to work with him to resolve these issues, and our vet recommended Amanda at Every Dog Has Its Day.
Due to his extreme «anti-​socialness» (obviously a term I made up), a private, 5 1-​hr session was recommended. We did ours weekly when possible, but Amanda will work with you to work out an appropriate schedule. She is a really wonderful trainer; a true dog whisperer. And she was also exceptionally patient with us and was very understanding of our seemingly all-​too-​often frustration.
This was the first time either of us had ever had to work with a pet that was extremely reactive (a term I did not make up), and trying to resolve it in a positive way. Everything was brand new and somewhat counter-​intuitive, especially for me. It was like a dance and we both happen to have two left feet. We have definitely needed a lot of practice and patience.
Positive reinforcement is not something I’m familiar with, but it is EDHID’s philosophy. So if you’re looking to help your dog be the best that they can be without the use of choke collars or other pain/​punishment tactics, you should contact them. They also have group classes, and various types of training for dogs of all ages.
