I thought my dog was beyond help before I found Erin at Countryside Kennel. I have an almost 70 pound staffordshire terrier that overpowered me on every walk, had no respect for commands, and really treated me like I was his pet human. Not only was I doubtful Chico was going to return home from "doggy boot camp" any different at all, but I was worried he would hate it and hate me for making him miss a whole month of sprawling out on my bed, leaving his pet human a pillow, maybe. Erin was so understanding when I dropped him off, even when I drug out a foo-foo doggie bed from the back of my car and asked a million questions to make sure my lil honey bucket was going to be taken good care of. A month later, I received back this handsome furry angel that sit, stayed, did NOT sleep on my bed, and didn't bark and whine with anxiety at every little noise. He came back a legitimately happier canine. That's just the beginning, the big guy goes on walks like an award winner. He walks by my side and doesn't pull on the leash at all. Also, with the electronic collar training that Erin so brilliantly did with him, I am in control again. I'm no longer terrified another dog or, goodness forbid, a cat will walk by and ruin our walk. Hands down the best money I've ever spent. Thank you Erin!
