Dawn:

I wanted to let you know how the training is progressing. But, first and foremost, to tell you how much training with electronics has improved the situations where problems existed.

1 . The front door and receiving people into the house which caused me to anticipate a stressful situation has settled down to an obedience command at the door and rarely an electronic correction.

2. Guests moving around in the house after having been seated obedience command of sit/stay, if necessary. Where Lani was wary of anyone touching her, she now approaches guests and "allows" a back rub.

3. Encountering people or dogs on walks no longer involves me turning around and quickly walking in the opposite direction. I do, at times, need to use an electronic correction to remind her of good manners. The correction interrupts whatever thought process is going on and she responds favorably.

These were the situations that were stressful and the improvement has been 100% since using the electronic collar correction. The other training methods that I tried did not accomplish anything. I would; however, not suggest to anyone to train with electronics without using a qualified trainer. Your training, which used obedience commands and electronics, has been the most humane for my dog. It also did not cause any embarrassment on my part as did training a 10 pound dog with a choke collar or a prong collar.

Thank you,
