THE VERY BEST DOG TRAINING BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!!

I Recently had the honor of having Stacy train myself and my dear furry friend JoJo who was about a half inch from the glue factor (joking of course) but all joking aside, she really was running on her last leg with everyone around us. You see JoJo is Black Lab and Blue Healer (looks like a Lab, acts like a Healer)Beautiful but mean as they get. But she loves kids and her family. I have been searching in every direction possible trying to find someway to teach her not to be so aggressive not just with people but with other dogs, cats, squirrels, pretty much all life force. She has never bitten anyone but she would snap at the ankles a lot and I so didn't ever want it to come to a bite, and I didn't trust her at all. So I read and read and read and watched "The Dog Whisperer" -all of them-read his books-all of them-joined on line chat rooms with other dog owners with similar issues, ordered newsletters. We went to a local dog trainer,,hahahahaha. She got worse.hehehehehehe..not so funny..so I read some more..Then the Good Lord said "OK OK OK enough funny, let's go to work". I found Stacy, and what a God send she was. In just an hour of meeting her she gave me solutions to help my girl not feel so tense.(Free of charge). So I bought her book, took it home and read it. And oh my gosh, this is the most easy to read, easy to follow, fun for me, fun for my dog training book that I have come across yet. I was so amazed that I hadn't come across some of her techniques before. There was no way that I wasn't going to NOT have training with this lady. So I called her up and we did just that. Today JoJo is a different dog, we go into public all the time now. We can go to Pet-co, Big R, the park, we sit outside of major shopping centers and watch the people go in and out. No more muzzle.YEEHAWW It has been so remarkable to watch the transformation of JoJo, the pride she carries in herself now. If you know of anyone that has a puppy or a dog, you would be the Hero to give this book "Woof Did You Say" as a gift to them, even if you believe that they are well trained, there is always something else that we can learn and grow from someone else's wisdom. Trust me I started it and couldn't put it down, you will too. STACY AGAIN THANK YOU FROM ME AND MY GIRL JOJO. WE COULD NOT OF DONE IT WITHOUT YOU AND YOUR BOOK.. Reverend Connie H.

Woof Did You Say?

Stacey helped me train both of my dogs as puppies about 5 years ago, so I was not surprised when I'd read only to page 16 and there it was! A description of less than enjoyable dog behavior that I was currently experiencing, with the solution clearly set out. Thank you Stacey! You saved me when they were puppies by helping me train them to be pleasant and well behaved, my dearly loved companions, and you've come to the rescue again. This book will help with issues that may come up in the future and it has certainly given me a deeper appreciation of how my dogs view the world. I believe that the insights in Stacey's book have helped make my relationship with my dogs richer and even more rewarding. "Woof Did You Say?" is a must read for anyone who currently has a dog or is thinking about bringing home a new canine companion!
