Cooper and my son Zach
My son Zach adopted Cooper at the local shelter 7 years ago. Cooper is a gentle giant but needed better manners. And since my son had bought into the prong & choke collar advice from a friend, it took some strong convincing to show him that there were other more humane means of getting Cooper’s walking under control. Here is what Zach has to say:
“Pam has done a great job with my dog Cooper. Even though she is my mother, I still hold her to a high standard as my Dog Trainer. She was able to help Cooper with simple commands like sit,stay (when I open the front door),come (when I call his name), and go to his bed. These were all simple commands that I was not able to teach him because I was not sure where to even start. She was also able to teach me so I knew how to continue training him when she was no longer there. She also showed me & convinced me that by using certain harnesses and leashes I no longer needed to use a prong or choke collar on him. Now that he has the training he needed it is easy for me to maintain it.”
