Brianna and PNW Canine and Brianna are incredible! We had just gotten a new GSD puppy, Bella, and we were looking for a professional board and train to train her early so we could get a handle on her behavior, temperament, and obedience. PNW Canine was ABSOLUTELY the right choice! Using the "balanced method" of training, Brianna brought us a well behaved, calm, and obedient dog. At the same time, she trained US as owners on how to properly lead our dog to success. PNW has given us the skills to build a good and happy dog for her lifetime! PNW Canine gave structure to the training, focusing on our role as leaders in the owner/dog relationship. Brianna was instructing my wife and I on some things that I thought strange, such as ignoring the dog and withholding affection. She required us to read The Good Dog Way: Love Them By Leading Them, by Sean O'Shea. After reading this book, I was enlightened on the "why?" Brianna also required us to buy and use an e-collar as a corrective tool. This went against EVERYTHING I'd ever experienced or read which mostly said, "reward the dog with treats and affection when she does something good." PNW trained us on the correction aspect of training to create a "balanced" program. We learned how our actions can affect the dog's behavior and well being, and how to use all available tools to create a calm, polite, and obedient dog. Included in the board and train program are four post-board in-home lessons. Determined not to waste our investment, I did everything Brianna told me to do upon Bella's return to our home. It is A LOT of work, but worth every penny. During today's second in-home lesson, Brianna told me, "Bella is even better than when I dropped her off two weeks ago!" I wondered, "Where is my 'good owner' treat?" The PNW Canine board and train program is worth WAY more than what we paid!
