Chill Out Dog Training

This training was completely lifechanging for my dog and our quality of life. This review is long-winded because the impact this training had on our lives is tremendous. My dog had a very complicated history before I adopted her - from severe neglect, to physical injuries, and behavior problems that seriously limited her ability to engage with others or what she could do outside of the home. I (with the help of other professionals as well, and the shelter I was initially fostering her through) had an incredibly difficult time training her - she had to be regularly muzzled, and went through countless training approaches, including medications, to no avail. She completed a four-week positive reinforcement only board-and-train prior to Chill Out that did not have a significant impact on her emotional regulation and behavior problems. I was prepared for a lifetime of accommodations for my pup, until an e-collar training was recommended to me. I had a consultation with another company and the trainer didn't really listen to me and seemed mostly focused on my money, before finding Chill Out and connecting with Scott. I truly felt heard and that my individual concerns and dog's needs were being cared for when talking to him. After the consult, I purchased the E-Collar Package with 3 individual training sessions and I could not be more happy with my experience with Cameron. I would never have imagined the confidence I now have in my dog. I have complete trust in her in every situation - she has 10/10 recall and knows & follows all of her commands. She now has the freedom to go off-leash hiking and backpacking, to dog parks (her favorite), and to new environments without concern. And I now have the freedom to host, to have new people over to the house, to bring her on my outings, and to let her interact with new dogs and people without concern. I'm honestly crying as I write this because I am so grateful for the quality of life my dog is able to have now thanks to Cameron and the team at Chill Out. She is absolutely thriving, and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you <3
