Meet "GEORGE!"
George is a young Poodle Mix, owned by Jordan.
George TRAINED & BOARDED with us for 4 weeks.
He came to us as an originally shy dog, lacking trust for stangers and other canines. After much excellent work on Jordan's part, as she learned more about George's temperament and instincts and drives, she has been able to realize a much more trusting, focused, obedient engagement from her canine companion!
* * *
As part of evaluating George to have him acquire the American Kennel Club status of being a "CANINE GOOD CITIZEN," one of the steps is for George, (being handled by Jordan), to allow her to meet and greet another person with George sitting and staying at her side.
"YES, GOOD WORK, GEORGE!"
Another part of the ten testing points for a dog to acquire its CANINE GOOD CITIZEN CERTIFICATE is for the dog to be left with another person without its owner in the room, for three minutes.
George did not display any "anxiety separation" from his owner, Jordan, being out of his presence. Before George came and trained and boarded with us he would not have done well at this, he would have been very stressed by his owner's disappearance.
"Separation Anxiety" in any puppy or dog is not a healthy state of mind for any canine to possess.
GEORGE is just fine!
While he is looking for his owner, Jordan, to return to him, George is okay with waiting for her without being stressed about it.
He really likes meeting new people
and is comfortable being in their company.
After being evaluated on the ten factors that qualify a dog to be a "CANINE GOOD CITIZEN," George passes with flying colors!
"GOOD WORK, TEAM GEORGE!"
Our overall goal at
SHILOH K9 OBEDIENCE
TRAINING & BOARDING
CENTER, LLC
is once again achieved!
We have a happy human (JORDAN), with a happy canine, (GEORGE).

Breed or Mixed Breed: Poodle Mix
Service Date: : Tuesday, 23 October 2018
Survey Question #1
What is your overall view of the Training & Boarding provided for your dog? Please write in your response...
From the moment I met David, I knew that we had come to the right place. I trusted him, and his trainers, completely and it was evident that was the right decision. We trained/boarded George for a month, and he seemed happy and content when he was there, and has been happy and content since he came home. We just went for our first evening walk and it was NO DOUBT the most pleasant walk we've ever had! Because not only has George learned, I've learned too! He is a very stubborn dog, and David and crew just loved him and accepted him and worked with him, and helped me learn to do the same!
Survey Question #2:
Do you feel that you learned helpful instruction about Training & Handling your dog by using our services?
3 = very helpful
Survey Question #3:
Is your dog better Trained in Obedience and improved Behavior since it came to SHILOH K9 Obedience….LLC?
3 = much better
Comments:
I learned how to correct stubborn George when he is trying to be dominant, simply by changing my tone and body language. I used to feel very out of control, but now I feel in control in a loving way. I already enjoy working with him and learning from each other. I can't wait for him to take the next step toward being a THERAPY DOG!! something I never would have imagined.
Thank you David, Brandy,
Molly and crew!

the "DOWN & STAY" command.
Pal is well on his way toward Karen's goal
for him to become a "Certified Therapy Dog!"
We will be working with her and
Pal to that achieve this wonderful goal!
Pal gets a little bit "cheeky" with his owner, not wanting to lay
DOWN & STAY for a longer period of time.
So Karen is using our correction method of
"LEAN OVER THE DOG AND PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HIPS,"
to let your dog know who is in CONTROL!"
Well, what do you know?
"IT WORKS!"
So do all of our TRAINING METHODS at
SHILOH K9 OBEDIENCE, LLC.
