To: All dog owners thinking about obedience classes K9 Koncepts is the place to go

        I have an 8 month old white German Shepherd named Holly. When I first got her flown in from Missouri I knew she was going to be a fearful dog. But I never thought she would get as bad as she did. I could not take her near other people or dogs without her going crazy trying to run and hide, pulling away from me, and barking her head off. It got to the point where my vet said if I did not enroll her in some kind of obedience classes and get her socialized she would become a fear bitter and to hard to control. I didn't want that to happen because she is such a beautiful dog. So I looked into a few places that offered obedience training. None of the places really impressed me with there knowledge of dog behavior and their interest in helping me with my dogs individual problem until I found Bill at K9 Koncepts.

    The moment I talked to Bill I knew this is where I would be taking Holly. He listened to my story and I could tell right away that his knowledge of the dog was phenomenal. When I took her there he watched how she behaved and right away he said this dog needs a lot of work to over come her fears but it can be done. He set me up with one of the trainer's named Gale who is great and little by little they got Holly use to the other people and dogs in the group along with learning her basic obedience sit, stay, come, etc... Now after only 5 weeks of training I have seen a big improvement in Holly she actually can sit in the group as apposed to being a couple of feet away in the beginning. She is also taking food right out of Bill and Gale's hands which is amazing considering before she would bark, growl, and run away from them. It is so exciting to be able to take her to the park without being afraid of what she will do to the others that are around her because of her fears. I can't wait to see what the other 11 weeks I have of training will bring.

Thanks, Jen and Holly
