We recently had the pleasure of training a German Shepherd named Apollo for a client in Charlotte, North Carolina. Apollo came to us with the usual issues, jumping, pulling, etc. nothing out of the ordinary. After three weeks at our facility, Apollo was a changed dog. He had learned to heel, sit, down, stay, come and place, all off-leash. Below is a excerpt from an email that his owner sent us a few days later.
Hi you guys!
Thanks for touching base back. Thanks again for everything you did for Apollo. He was great on his walk this morning (no leash) and I also took him to a 4 year old outdoor birthday party and he was a perfect gentleman. Someone asked me yesterday if I thought it was worth the money for his training. Here is my thought process and explanation to them.
If we are fortunate enough to have him in our lives for the next ten years, Our daughter would be 14 years old and will have an incredible relationship with this amazing part of our lives. This is the dog that she will always remember growing up with. To have a well-behaved companion that we enjoy having with us at every opportunity for about $70/year, no question about the value….. We spent $70 on dinner last night. In the 3 days he has been home, I KNOW that it is worth it and look forward to having you guys work with him in the future to maintain and build the potential of this sweet pup.
You will always get strong referrals from me!
Thanks again!
Heather
We found out through speaking with the owner that she is a photographer in the Charlotte area. We looked up her website out of curiousity and found that she does some pretty amazing work. She offers professional portraits, pet photography, commercial photos and more. Below is a just sample of her work that we thought we’d share with you.
