Ms. Connie Saurbier states "Through the gentle effective, and very patient, tutelage of Gina, my trainer, I learned to be calm with my young adolescent dog, to be consistent with my requests or commands, and to never stop until there is compliance. I also learned that giving a young dog "time outs" was a huge help for me, rather than getting so frustrated. Now if I need a break, I can place Banya in her kennel or just in a "Place Stay", give her a nice bone or treat, and use that time to relax myself. I find that my patience has increased, my neighbors now compliment me on my dog's behavior as we walk through the neighborhood and I'm a much happier dog owner."

Jay Morsman writes "Before Gina started to train with September (my Saint Bernard) and myself, I had been told that my dog was aggressive. Some people suggested he should be put down. Gina came over and did an evaluation. She stated that September was a normal confident pushy adolescent who was not biting aggressively, but mouthing. As he was a "teenager" his teeth were much stronger than a puppy's. Gina taught me to be more consistent with my commands, to be much more patient rather than raising my tone due to frustration, and taught both of us how to enjoy life together. September had a short life, due to hereditary illness and I still miss him dreadfully. But thanks to the care of Gina, I had two wonderful years with him!"
