Panhandle K9

Dustin kept our 2 dogs for 30 days. They had both gone through training through advanced. He was to teach them both to be less aggressive (not barking at people and lunging), not pulling on leash, being able to take them to public places, socializing, etc. We were sent a video after 1 week and never sent another video for remainder of time, even though it was requested. When we got dogs back, they were actually worse. They barked at people more, jumping up more. We were told that we would have to work with them and reinforce the training that they received. We did work with them from the time that they were returned and we continue to do so. The only way to reinforce the skills is for skills to be taught. We were told that he would come and work with us, but when I reached out about setting up a time, my text was ignored. I have given sufficient time for Dustin to make it right, but unfortunately he has chosen not to.

Dustin was great with our 1 year old Aussie, Gunner. He has a clear understanding of animals and he was patient with Gunner, but also firm. He helped us handle and correct Gunner’s unwanted behaviors with several different methods and it has made our lives and Gunner’s better for the future. He taught us just as much as he did Gunner. For that, we are most grateful and highly recommend Dustin and Panhandle K9 if you need extra training and care for your dog. You will learn not to be master and pet, but partners in protection! Thanks, Dustin!

Overall the experience was perfect, from the meet and greet to the final visit where he consulted how effective my wife and I were with him. We opted for the four week course and it has helped trememdously. From the first day we could immediately tell a difference in him. Finally we can walk Matteo and him not walk (pull) us around the neighborhood. Dustin is great and always has an answer to your problem. Our dog Matteo has much better manners now and I'm certain it will only get better from here as we continue to train him.
