You dont know defeat until you've lost a dog then decided to rescue a 4 month old pit mix puppy that was shipped from death row in Texas and she's fear aggressive, reactive, lunging at other dogs, people affraid of the car reserved and doesn't identify with you as her owner. We put her in puppy kindergarten to try and socialize her and give her time to settle. She graduated, knowing all the commands but, with the same emotional issues and reactivity that she had before. Mike put us in touch with Alexis and we began Lily's journey. Alexis immediately recognized all of the issues and began working on all of them with positive reinforcements and opened the lines of communication between us. She taught us how to redirect , deescalate Lily and for the first time we could enjoy our dog. Lily seemed eager to now give us what we wanted and to please us. Alexis is a brilliant trainer with effective methods, and a great, kind energy and Lily simply adores her. Alexis felt that Lily would also love and benefit from tracking. So that began the next phase...we joined Mike and the Delta K-9 team into tracking and its been nothing short of amazing. Lily's favorite past time is tracking, our good bond went to a great bond. Lily my once reserved puppy is playful and happy ( especially on tracking days) she sleeps belly up instead of in a ball behind my husband's knees. She is confident and happy. It's been an absolute blessing. If your dog has a problem, the entire team will help you through it. The entire team cheers for your accomplishments, they help and guide you through the whole process. Mike checks in with you with good or bad imput, questions or if you have a problem will work on it with you one on one. They genuinely care and they have a great time with each other while doing it. They are amazing and as long as they are doing it- Lily and I will be there!
