We needed help with our German Shepherd Dog, Riley, with 2 serious issues. Riley is aggressive and fearful, and secondly, he believes he must chase our horses. I called Travis. He came to our house and began asking questions. He Listened to our concerns. He gave us good information about behaviors and how dogs see things. Travis then watched us work with our dog, stopped us, corrected OUR behavior, and made suggestions to correct the dog. We practiced our new behavior on these two issues and saw immediate improvement. Far from perfect on day 1, but we saw real improvement with HOPE for our future! All in 90 minutes. Travis asked us to practice our new behavior every day, and within two weeks, he said, we should see Riley exhibit his new behavior habits. By day 2, Riley was appreciably better, and we know that what We were taught is working. Travis does not use shock collars, drugs, or physical punishment. He trained us how to ask Riley for certain behaviors, and brought delicious treats/rewards to encourage a habit. Riley is 16 months old, and Travis is the first person, other than us, that Riley has ever trusted enough to allow leash handling, petting, and scratching. We highly recommend Travis to train with you and your dogs.
