Happy Harrison

Problems with separation anxiety, toileting inside and barking.

“Since showing us simple techniques to take control of the situation with Harrison, we have noticed a DRAMATIC difference!”

Harrison has become a new dog! He is so well behaved and no longer cries or barks when we leave the house. He has excellent manners when he is waiting to be feed! And i am so amazed to see he has stopped attacking the mobile and has stopped toileting inside.

The biggest reward of all is that we have our bed back! Harrison no longer has the need to be next to us 24/7. He now enjoys his own space and has become a big fan of his own dog bed!
Now instead of dreading home time, we enjoy spending time with Harrison since he is so well behaved.

Your advice has been incredibly helpful and I really believe that Harrison has become  a much happier dog.”

German Shepherd v Chicken

Problems with general control and killed a chicken

Before a visit from Doggy Dan i couldn’t manage the situation with Bensen our large German Shepherd and i felt like everything was out of my control. Since your visit he has improved immensely and is growing to be a lovely dog.

He has stopped chasing the chickens and has calmed down considerably. Bensen just ignores the chickens as they walk past him into the house to eat the cat food!

He comes to me every time I call him and he does not jump up on people anymore.

We  highly recommend  your services to anyone who is having problems with their dog.

Thank You!

Confident Mouse and Peanut!

Problems with being fearful, nervous and aggressive towards other dogs

Dear Doggy Dan

The day you came in and taught us your methods and tips there was a huge difference in our lives. We can’t believe how Peanut and Mouse have changed even just from one day!

Tonight we went to the park where we happened to meet 4 of our neighbours and their dogs. All of the dogs were off the leash, which would normally be chaos with Peanut and Mouse. Mouse was noticeably calmer and had a lot fo fun playing with the other dogs. Peanut was much more behaved and relaxed – normally she would be stressed and anxious about protecting Mouse. This time she didn’t seem to feel that she had to defend Mouse or us. Your tip about how to show our dogs that there is no danger is a really big help.

Walking them is such a breeze now – before the session with you, Peanut and Mouse were in charge of when and where to go and when to stop, but now we are in charge. I even have Mouse walking calmly by my side for almost the whole walk – fantastic!

Thank you so much – we both feel so much more in control and I am enjoying walking the dogs so much more now. We have been singing your praises to all our doggy neighbours, and left your card at the vets too - they had already heard of you too!

Thank you again!

Georgia is relieved to not be in charge!

Problems with Barking, recall and hard to relax,

Hey Dan

It was just great to have you over last week! You do some amazing stuff. I’m already having heaps of progress with Georgia – we are all so grateful for helping us. A friend came over the other day and was astounded at how much better Georgia’s barking was (and so was I!!)

Now she’s learning that she’s not the pack leader thing, Georgia has this expression on her face as if to say “Wow, thanks for taking that job off me. Now I can relax.” She’s so much more responsive to us now. Great recalls in the paddock this morning even though she was a bit excited. We’ve got a way to go, but it’s rewarding for us to see progress every day.

She was sitting quietly next to the cat this morning when I left. Would never have dreamt that would happen a week ago.

Just very impressed and grateful to you. If there’s anything I can do to promote your great work, let me know.

Also more progress with Georgia when I left – she normally scratches at the door and moans when I leave in the mornings.Yesterday, virtually nothing! Pawed the door once then wandered off into the lounge and lay down for a snooze. Yay!

Many Thanks again.
