I got an American Bulldog (Andre) earlier this year that, despite having experience with bully breeds before, made me think that maybe I had bitten off more than I could chew. I had trained my own pets before, but I just couldn't reach Andre like I had my other dogs. Mike at Paramount Cleveland set my mind at ease in just the first evaluation class I went to. Over the following weeks, with consistent practice and work, I saw my dog's reactivity slowly start to fade away. He went from lunging, pulling, and whining/barking/making sounds I had never heard a dog make before, to now just playfully looking at other dogs as we walk by them. I was even able to dog sit a co-workers dog for a week shortly after my last session at Paramount, completely without incident. Before training, I would have never put Andre in a house, unsupervised, and with another dog. Andre is now good pals with 3 other dogs belonging to my friends. The price was also great. I was going in expecting to have to go through a board and train which can be pretty expensive. Mike wanted me to do the work as opposed to the board and train which saved on cost. Your situation and needs may be different, but based on what I was charged per weekly class, I'm going to assume that a board and train at Paramount is going to be less expensive than at other places. With a few weekly sessions, a lot of practice outside of class, and a price I could handle, I have a completely different dog. I have no doubt Andre is just going to get better and better because of the tools and guidance I received from Mike at Paramount Training. Very happy with the results!
