Trouwe Hond K-9

We adopted a one year old black lab from a shelter. After a month or so of trying to train him ourselves, we realized we needed professional help. We could see Raven's potential but he appeared to have ADD. He also exhibited lots of "mouthy" behaviors which made us nervous as we have many young family members. We adopted Raven as we wanted a family dog. We contacted Trouwe Hond and told the owner about our situation. We made an evaluation appointment with him. We discovered our dog didn't have ADD; he's very dominant and was disobeying us on purpose. We agreed to a three week training period with the owner. Each day the owner, Dave, kept us updated with photos and emails. At the end of the three weeks we went to pick Raven up and much to our surprise he was actually sitting, listening, obeying.... We were thrilled but nervous that we wouldn't be able to keep up the training ourselves. Dave has worked with us several times since then and we can call him or email him anytime with questions. We now trust Raven in our home and he's much calmer around small children. He no longer nips at all. Highly recommend this facility. The kennels are so clean, we booked one for Raven when we go away this winter. I feel like Dave, the owner, really cares about our dog!

Please excuse this lengthy testimonial. But my wife and I feel so strongly about your training that we want to share it with whoever may come across it when researching a dog trainer. We hope that this will make a difference for those dog owners out there looking to take their dog to another level of obedience and good manners before they waste their money. As you know, we live in Rhode Island and only learned about your services through your web page. After pouring over your testimonials and speaking with you over the phone, we took the chance and enrolled our 10 month old German shepherd dog, Cyrus, in your three week board and train program. Even though we live 3 hours away we had little choice but to reform Cyrus or get rid of him. Read our complete Testimonial at www.trouwehond.com
