Evergreen School For Dogs

My 1 yr-old Irish Wolfhound clearly had a great time here during his customized board and train. He came back calmer, more focused and confident. When I picked him up he was vibrant and had clearly made dear friends with the other dogs there. They worked hard with him to get a strong foundation of the basics and great socializatiin skills that I had just not been able to solidify. Now my pup knows what's expected of him and it sets us both up for success as the dynamic team I know we can be. Walking with his 135 lbs not pulling on the leash for the first time, but now working as a team, was an indescribably elating experience for me. I am so very very grateful for Evergreen's thoughtful and expert care of us both.

After taking my dog home from almost 6 weeks of board and train with Tommy at Evergreen School for Dogs, I realized that our relationship was already changed for the better. Before taking Cado there, I was considering re homing a dog that I loved due to human aggression/reactivity. I lived in an apartment in Seattle and just getting out to the street to go on a walk was a struggle. Then the walk itself was another story. Cado also had leash reactivity issues towards dogs which made city life almost impossible. I tried classes and other trainers which helped with management but not with solutions. I knew from the moment that I met them that Cado would be in good hands. I felt that he had plenty of space to play outside and was able to live in their home with them. Even though Cado was wary of Tommy and Corday at first, I knew they would find the dog I love in him. Tommy did not promise to "fix" Cado but did say that I would see improvements. I really appreciated that statement as I felt it was genuine and what I was hoping for more than him getting "fixed." During the 5 weeks I received updates and pictures which I truly appreciated since I missed my pup so much. When we picked him up we had an hour training session and 3 others at any location I picked. It was great that Tommy was willing to drive to my place and the areas that we have the most trouble in to work on real life situations. It really sealed in what he discussed and taught me in the first session after picking Cado up. I loved how excited Cado was every time he saw Tommy as that made me feel that they truly bonded and Tommy took wonderful care for him. I also have emailed for advise since his stay and they continue to give advise and help. I can't thank Evergreen School for Dogs enough for what they have done for Cado and I.
