We have had some issues with Karma’s barking, pulling on her leash and not being very good at recall (come when called). Her daycare staff recommended a local dog trainer (Good Dogma out of Los Osos, CA) for private lessons. She came over and got us both involved in simple corrections for our 3 high priority concerns. then checked back with us and eventually did a second home visit before we left for the winter.
What we discovered is that it is not Karma’s problem but ours as owners. We are slack in discipline and inconsistent in corrections. So, we have become more attentive to our corrections, paying more attention to the triggers that cause her to bark. We are seeing progress both in us as owners and her a the “pet”. We think that we are more difficult students than Karma.
