Aloha Dog Taining Inc.

Just to refresh your memory at the end of April we adopted Lulu, our dog, from the Humane Society. She is a great dog but as time has passed we have noticed two major issues with her. The first is that she is super hard to walk. She is very strong and has so much energy that she pulls really hard. The second is that she will not come when called she just runs off and we can't get her back.

So we called Heather at Aloha Dog Training and talked to her about Lulu. She thought that we would benefit from a private lesson instead of 8 weeks of group lessons because we wanted to address two specific issues.

So yesterday afternoon was our appointment. One thing I really liked is that she believes in a lot of praise and touching the dog and making the training fun instead of mean voices and discipline.

We first worked with having Lulu on a very long leash where she could roam a little. We worked on keeping her in a certain area . We said "stay here" and when she went too far we jerked the leash once to pull her back. She really started to get it. We also worked on teaching her to heel. Which was much harder but she started to get it.

She recommended that we not take Lulu on walks for about a month and just practice these techniques with her.

I feel like I learned so much too, it was definitly worth it!
