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 in Abbotsford
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”in Abbotsford
PUPPY CLASS, BASIC FAMILY MANNERS & BOW WOW CLICK & TREATS: 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 an intact 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 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!
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. 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.in Mission
” RALLY -O was the third class that we’ve taken with Monique along with Puppy Party level 1 & 2. Rally obedience has been a fun way for me and our border terrier Bella to build on the puppy class training and improve heeling, but more importantly to build our teamwork! Monique ’s focus is on the positive- both dogs and humans having fun while gradually building up through the beginner Rally-O exercises.
Through Rally-O I’ve learned what kind of communication I can best use to motivate my dog and keep her interest over a sustained period of time. In the Fall 2010, I entered Bella in her 1st Rally-O Novice trial at the Lower mainland Dog Show , where she earned a qualifying score of 91/100! Rally-O is now a fun part of our regular play and training.Thanks Monique for introducing us to rally-O! Sharon Herbert & Bella
PUPPY HEAD START in home program: I highly recommend an in house consultation with Monique. Our 9 weeks old puppy was biting everyone especially my youngest child. We were getting desperate when we called Monique. She provided us with the information, practical tips and suggestions we needed to turn this experience around. What a transformation! We were able to set up a good wake/sleep schedule for her, changed her feeding routine,incorporated crate and pen training and have added regular training sessions into our life and her. She seldom bites now,and when she does we are all able to manage it more positively and effectively- even our children! Having Monique to OUR HOME was a godsend that quickly got us on the right path. Thank You! Heather, Daniel, Mark & Rosie in Abbotsford
