“You should be PROUD!!”
Just wanted to share my excitement about all of the tools you gave me to handle Emily in stressful situations. You should be PROUD!!
Saturday, I took her to the vaccination clinic to get a shot. When I got there, the line was out the door (40-60 minutes). I figured that I would give it a try. If she got agitated or too distracted, I would leave. SHE WAS AWESOME!!! She didn't pull. She didn't bother the cat in the carrying bag, nor the Chihuahua (who is very "temperamental" per Owner). She didn't bother any other dogs and the two that came to sniff her, she ignored. She didn't fuss with the Vet (the last place we went, they tried to trap her and wrap themselves around her so she couldn't move – she pooed on them. Yes, she did!). The Vet petted her and while I was petting her, he gave her her shot. She barely noticed. She didn't bark at anyone or jump. And for being the BEST dog there, she got a new Airdog bone. She loves them.
This was the first time that I had her in a group of other animals (who had OBVIOUSLY not attended any J9's K9s classes and yes I told them all about you). I knew she would definitely get agitated if she felt I was, so I relaxed. The time passed quickly chatting with all of the other pet owners and she was the Queen of the Ball.
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!
Best Regards,

“Eily improved by leaps and bounds…”
I wanted to tell you how glad I am we took the Beginners with J9's K9s. Eily improved by leaps and bounds, I remembered why I liked working with my dogs in a class setting and Becky & Erin were both fantastic!

“Thank God for J9’s K9s…”
My dog Jag has been going to Mammoth and playing out on the golf course since he was a puppy, and was pretty successful off leash with his listening skills, staying close and recall. I was babysitting Jag’s cousins Otis and Reggie, who also went to J9's K9s, and one Sunday morning at 11:30 am we were all out on the golf course playing with the dogs when we noticed a huge animal moving. It occurred to me that I was about 20 yards from an adolescent black bear that appeared to be at least 5 feet tall and maybe 150-200 lbs, with three curious Labrador Retrievers off leash who were maybe 10 yards away from the bear. The dogs looked at the bear and started walking towards the bear while the bear stared at us. I remained very calm and did not attempt to run after the boys. I knew it could provoke the dogs to run and/or provoke the Bear and/or his Momma or other cubs. I remembered the recall words. Since I was babysitting I had to use 2 different recall words. I remembered what Becky had said to do to get a dog’s attention in beginner class. Jag took his attention from the curious cub and darted at me, along with Otis and Reggie. They all got plenty of treats, and went home for peanut butter bones.
I have never been so scared in my entire life and I thank God for J9’s K9s, because I know that without the knowledge that Janine, Becky and Ataki have given me, I would have had the instinct to run after the dogs and that reaction could have escalated the situation, and possibly provoked the Momma Bear & cubs to attack.
Thank you J9’s K9’s!!!!
