We have an AMAZING story for you!! Okay, we LOVE your class & SWEAR BY your training tools! They WORK!!
Here's what happened: Chris was loading up the truck with camping gear so he propped the front door open. The dogs ran out (without "earning it!" BAD dogs!! hee hee), which is not a huge deal, since our front yard is fenced. Well, turns out there was a HOLE in the fence!!!! Jack ran into the neighbor's yard, and out of Chris' view. Chris tried calling him ("Jack, come!"), and he didn't come. Then Chris thought, "I'll try the emergency recall word, although it's probably too soon, and he won't follow it.” Our word is "venga" (Spanish for "come" – don't ask). He yelled (in a happy voice) "JACK, VENGA!" and low-and-behold…Jack came out of nowhere, RUNNING full speed toward Chris!!! It worked!!! The "command that may save your dog's life someday" as you put it, actually may have SAVED OUR DOG'S LIFE!! Wahoooo! Chris rewarded him with tons of praise & love & even a treat. I just HAD to share that story with you! If only EVERY dog owner went to training…
