My husband and I rescued Bella from All Shepherd Rescue. Bella spent the first four years of her life tied to a tree with little human interaction. When we first took her home she pulled so hard on the leash she just about knocked us both over. There was no going for walks with Bella, she pulled and dragged and did manage to knock me to the ground at least once. I was desperate to find a method of training that would work for her and tried several.  Unfortunately, not much worked; that’s when I found Sandy.  As I was reading the website I noticed that she did E-collar training. I wasn’t sure about this, I didn’t want to “shock” my dog. I met Sandy for a consultation and she dispelled my doubts about E-collar training.  It’s all in how you use the device and in the hands of a professional like Sandy, it can be an incredibly powerful tool.  Sandy had me hold the E-collar to experience what my dog would experience.  I was worried that the electronic collar would be cruel and cause my sweet Bella girl to hate me; nothing could be farther from the truth.  The results of this training were completely the opposite.Sandy showed me how to correctly use the E-collar, the stimulation was just enough to assist in getting Bella’s attention and helped her focus. To me, this was a miracle and while Bella always wears the E-collar when we are out there are few occasions that I really need to “tap” her at all. In fact, Bella is often off leash now and responds to my voice commands.Bella is a different dog now and I owe that all to Sandy. Watching her run around and play with her brother Toby is the best; I don’t know how we would have achieved that if it were not for Sandy and the E-collar training. Bella is a happy girl and I cannot thank Sandy enough!!
