Dog Training Elite Michiana

My dog, Madigan, completed her Basic Obedience a few months ago, and I am very pleased with the results. Today Rich and Crew ran Madigan through more specific mobility commands as my Service Dog. I am very pleased at the reults. I started my milityary career as a K9 Handler, transitioned later to a form of Combat Medic, but always worked with the dogs. I saw beefy scarred up Special Forces Operators refuse to go on a mission with their dogs with them; and, I saw them cry when they lost one of their dogs, and it always happened when the dog saved all their lives by giving up their own life. Noit bragging. But I know dogs. I know them as a handler. I know them working beside them. I know - later as an Officer - what missions and tasks they were best at. I know what they are capable of doing, and not doing. Dogs are amazing, even brilliant, but they are not perfect. They are not born with obedience humans understand is obedience. I know dogs that operate in the highest level of stress. When my inuuries caught up with me and my mobility became limited I researched the best trainers locally. I was a handler and had a great deal of experience with dogs and probably could have trained Madigan up myself, but I am no trainer. That requires a certain skill set and patience. Rich and Crew have those skills and even more so, love the animals. I recommend DTEM without condition or reservation. Obedience or higher level training: my dog has undergone both and she is doing fantastic. Moreover, she loves to go to her training and she is always set up for success. If your dog doesn't want to go to training there there is a problem with you, the dog or the trainer...or all three. Madigan loves the training and even when pushed and not in the mood, never shys away from going back.
