    "I have GOOD news about Ruby. We have
    continued to work on our leash aggression.
    Two weeks ago when I took her for a walk
    when she spotted another dog her immediate
    reaction was to look at me!!!! Wow! That is
    just what I had been waiting for. She definitely
    "gets it" now.

    We went camping last weekend with her and had
    to wait in one spot for about 20 minutes with
    another dog on leash not more that 20 ft or less from
    us. She checked him out. I gave her a "find it" command
    and she just relaxed and laid down. Whew...I couldn't
    believe it!! We will continue to reinforce this good
    behavior. Thank you for all of your help."     Sandi

"Hi Cherie,
I just want to thank you for all of your help and
guidance with Darla. I know she still has a way to go,
but I feel that we have made great progress. Your
class was just what we both needed to gain the
confidence to move on. When I first brought Darla
home I started researching trainers in the area. I was
quickly discouraged by all the dominance based
training that seems so popular today. While trying to
coax Darla into the building that first day, you told me
"She is like this because she is scared, not because
you are not in charge".  It was then I realized I was in
the right place.

I look forward to working with you again.
Thank you"
