I started working with Leum shortly after we brought home Cedar, our new Aussie puppy. I was considering puppy classes, when a friend told me about StayWildDog Training. After some research I scheduled my "Discovery Call" with Leum. We started working on the fundamental skills in our home without the distractions of a puppy class. Working one-on-one with Leum gave me the opportunity to really focus on these skills in a safe environment while building a deeper connection and relationship with my puppy.More recently, Cedar has become reactive and I needed help navigating through this new behavior. I reached out to Leum again. He helped me to develop a plan with specific goals and strategies to prevent the reactivity and transform Cedar's emotional responses into positive ones. We are still working on that! I am noticing changes, little by little, and learning to read my dog so much better than I have before. When there is a setback and I feel discouraged, Leum in his positive manner, always offers encouragement.I appreciate that Leum uses science-based, fear-free approaches to modify behavior. His training is positive and respectful. He is patient, kind, attentive, accommodating, and always takes the time to answer questions. He is timely when sending session notes which are helpful for reviewing.Working with Leum is truly a partnership and I highly recommend him for anyone looking to work on fundamental skills, or challenging behaviors.
