The Termulo Family
Testimonial to Cynthia
DaKoda was my first dog and I knew very little of how to assimilate an
exuberant Labrador retriever into our family. Luckily, I was advised by
Cynthia to begin puppy training immediately to set expectations and
discourage development of bad behavior.
Cynthia helped us to establish reasonable rules that would work with our
schedule and lifestyle. She taught us to communicate with our dog by
understanding pack mentality and train through repetition. He learned
quickly and enjoyed spending time with us. It was fun to watch his
development.
Koda was housetrained by the second session! We introduced a
notification method so Koda simply had to "ring a bell" to indicate his
need to use the bathroom.
The obedience came quickly too. Koda learned the basic commands easily
and accepted our dominance within the pack. People often comment on his
good behavior. He is a delight! We feel that we can take him anywhere
and have total control over his behavior.
Cynthia also encouraged socialization. Koda enjoys both people and other
animals and is calm around both. He does not jump to greet or chase
other animals. He is perfectly mannered at our home, at other people’s
homes or at the dog park.
Grooming and first aid techniques were also introduced in our sessions.
These techniques have helped us maintain Koda’s health and well-being.
Working with Cynthia was a wonderful experience. She was extremely
knowledgeable and caring. She uses her unique perspective of the dog
pack to introduce training methods that are easy to enforce by all
family members. These methods work! I credit our well-behaved, loveable
dog to her.
Furthermore, each of Cynthia’s training programs are developed for the
particular needs of the pet and family. It is evident in her dedication
that her mission is to create a thriving environment that unifies the
pet with his/her new family/pack.
Our training sessions lasted only a few weeks but the lessons learned
will endure throughout Koda’s lifetime.
