The K9 Professor
Ever since Groot was a puppy he has always been very fearful towards men. At first, he would run and hide, then his fearful behaviors gradually started becoming more aggressive over time. He started growling, charging men, and escalated to biting. I knew I needed to get him the correct type of training/help once he finally snapped at a family friend.
I was referred to Lorenzo’s by my vet, and not long after we met Emmanuel.
Right off the bat, we knew Emmanuel was very knowledgeable in his field and we trusted in him to help us. Since Groot had bitten someone, he boarded with Emmanuel at his home and started training. As soon as he came back home, we could immediately see the difference in Groot. He had a lot more self-control, but he also kept his playful personality.
As we progressed through trainings, the commands and expectations for Groot started to become second nature for us. Over a 2 month period, Groot and I did our training homework, worked with Emmanuel , and now he’s in a much better spot to live a happy life. In our last 1-on-1 session with Emmanuel, we walked through a shopping mall during the busiest part of the afternoon…ON A WEEKEND…but Groot far exceeded my expectations and he did so well; walked alongside men and always kept his attention on us. Now, we are finessing our off leash skills and just enjoying life without the limitations of his fears. Groot may never be a man’s best friend, but he sure is the best ladies man.
Thank you Emmanuel and Lorenzo’s dog Training for your services and knowledge. Groot is very appreciative.
