PUPPY CLASS 2“Over the years we have taken 3 puppies to Monique’s classes. Her expertise and patience in teaching us and our puppies is second to none and that is why we returned with each of our new additions. Monique’s training helps solidify the bond between you and your pet with gentle training techniques that are built on trust and respect. With each puppy we concluded the classes with a well socialized, well mannered, happy dog who comes they are called, walks nicely on a leash and performs a few tricks as well. We highly recommend Monique’s classes and since dogs will always be part of our family we will continue to start things off right with her “Sincerely Cathy and Jules Tessarolo, Levi, Lucy and Matteo too
PUPPY CLASS 1″ I found the course was perfect for our family. From the 1st orientation class without puppy, I felt comfortable and at ease. i was a new nervous puppy owner and very much out of my element. Monique should call her class Gentle Puppy & puppy owner training! As an instructor should, she built up my confidence to train my puppy. I liked that our kids were welcome to classes and we learn as a family. We looked forward to handouts including the homework for the week.” The Frego family and LUKA”
To Monique, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the help and information you’ve shared with Lucy, Dean and I. As you know the poodles joined our family in January 2007 when Dean was anentire male 15 months old and Lucy was a 5 month old female. She was not housetrained, really shy,”shut down” you called it and I had no idea what to do with her! I thought she was the craziest dog I’d ever owned and I toyed with sending her back to the breeder. Someone gave me your name so instead of giving up on her, I called you. I had always practiced ”obedience” the typical choke chain way so when I met you and you said, ”No choke chains” and ”no jerking on the leash”, I was unsure of how this would work but I really wanted to give my dogs the best chance possible. I decided to take them through your PUPPY 1 & 2 classes, BASIC FAMILY & BOW WOW CLICK K & TREATS( clicker training) because I thought they would ”learn” and looking back, I was the one who learned!
Dean was well socialized before we got him but your training classes have helped me learn to let him think like a dog. This has made training him so much easier and more fun than I ever imagined it would be.
Today, Lucy has really grown into a wonderful dog! She is no longer shy, is completely potty trained, crate trained and loves to go for walks. She will catch a frizbee or ball and return it or find it wherever I hide it. This summer she learned to fetch in water where she had to leave the bank, go into deep water, swim out and fetch her ball. They are so beautiful and smart and each day bring us much joy and I want to thank you for making this possible. ” Sincerely Anne Lee, Dylan & Lucy.
