The Language Of Dogs

When retiring, I rehomed an Aussie Shepherd for all the "wrong" reasons (on paper).He was 3 1/2 y/o & was returned to the breeder for attacking their rescue dog. Moon Pi & I started bonding from our 1st meet. He was practically perfect but came with issues that I was unequipped to address. Thank the dog gods, we found Justin. We started training which Moon Pi took to immediately. He really leaned into the structure. At the same time, I immersed myself in Justin's videos. Immediately, he had PERFECT recall ( the most important) even when chasing squirrels. It took ME some time to understand that he wasn't aggressive... not looking for a fight, but had serious boundaries that deserved respect thanks to Justin. Now, we can navigate the mean streets of NYC with perfect "switches" & other cues. We went from full on "Cujo" to only the occasional warning bark when encountering uneducated, oblivious dog owners. His vocabulary & our bond has grown immensely as a result of working with Justin. If I were to go into ALL of the great things he does now, it would be another 10 paragraphs. Justin is no nonsense ( though we both have comedy backgrounds) Only train with him if you are serious about doing the work. I can tell you that doing so has reaped a bounty of riches. He is incredibly generous with his vast knowledge & still helps us out from time to time which has saved me $$$$$ in unnecessary vet bills. Additionally, he connected us with the fierce & fabulous Ebonie Lewis. We did some additional training & she introduced us to dog sports. Moon Pi LOVES it & the dock diving pool is his favorite place on earth. Forever grateful to Justin & The Language of Dogs.

I cannot recommend Justin and his gentle giant assistant Brutus enough. I first came to TLOD really struggling as a first time dog owner. My tiny poodle Grover, full of both energy and drive, had developed extreme reactivity towards other dogs both in our apartment building as well as out on the streets of busy NYC. It had frankly become unmanageable. After just the first session, I saw a huge improvement in both behavior and focus. And after completing three sessions the behavior was virtually eliminated. Justin provides both training tools and equipment, and very specific instruction including videos, with lots of supportive follow up and after care. One year after our initial sessions, I decided to return to TLOD to work on training Grover off leash, using an e collar. Again Justin made this process easy and fun to learn, and my dog is now able to enjoy the freedom to run safely in Central Park and beyond. This is something that I cannot put a price tag on. I know that as a result of our training with TLOD, I am a better dog owner, Grover is a happier dog, and our bond together is stronger than ever.
