Dixie the Border Collie Mix

My family adopted Dixie from the SPCA this summer. At the time, Dixie was 4 months old. After a few weeks of getting to know each other, we realized that Dixie was going to be a handful…especially around other dogs! I started observing dog classes in the local pet stores and didn’t feel confident in the instructors I had observed, so I did a Google Search online for dog trainers that come to your home. After reading everything on the Well Mannered Dog Training Charleston website, I called for the free consultation.

At the time of the consultation, the representative that visited us assured us that the Well Mannered Dog Training Charleston trainers could help us overcome all of Dixie’s issues from the door crashing to play biting to her big issue of over-excitement (better stated as total craziness) in the presence of other dogs! We were very encouraged by the consultation and decided that this one-on-one training was the solution we were looking for.

Tanya Perez was our trainer and we thought she was wonderful. Tanya is extremely knowledgeable and very talented in working with pets and people! From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and empowered that we could train our dog. She always offered us a variety of methods to teach each command and she never made us feel embarrassed if we struggled with something. Tanya made the lessons informative and fun for Dixie, my husband, and me! We all looked forward to the lessons each week and we were especially excited to learn that we could train our dog to walk without pulling, to give up eating our shoes, and to actually heel!

We would DEFINITELY recommend Well Mannered Dog Training Charleston to our family and friends!

This was such an amazing bonding experience between our family and the dog because we learned what to do to develop a balanced relationship with Dixie! We have even gotten compliments from our neighbors, the vet, and passers-by on the walking trails, about our well-trained dog…even after just a few sessions!

These training sessions were one of the best investments my husband and I have ever made and we will encourage all our pet-owner friends to try it out! We are so glad that we found the Well Mannered Dog Training website!
