Sunday Morning Inbox.....

Thought I'd share an email I received this morning from a client.... "Hi John,

I just had to share how well Roman and Tikka are doing. Earlier this week, I took them both to Ft. Funston and they did great off leash...Scott has been taking both of them there, so they are used to it. Today, I took them both to Crissy Field (I walked there with both of them heeling on my left) and walked the length of the beach with both of them off leash...it wasn't crowded, but we still ran into about 8 or so dogs. Yes, I had the dogtra on Roman, but I didn't have to use it. Tikka is greeting dogs so well, and Roman is thinking twice about charging/rushing every dog he sees...he greets them well and played a bit...but the joy of seeing him run in the water without stressing about other dogs...well, I never thought it could be like this.

Then, I walked Roman on leash, and Tikka off leash, along that jogging path...Roman did bark at one dog who was staring at him (and it was my fault for not correcting him sooner, but I was picking up Tikka's poop!) but it was nothing like before and stopped immediately...we continued our walk, I had them both do a down stay and some off leash dogs walked by...It was great! They are almost normal.

I never dreamed I could have this kind of control over both of them together on OR off leash.

We still have work to do...but, I can't imagine that they won't just continue to improve so we can continue to enjoy all the off leash areas SF has to offer.

We can't thank you enough!
