Responses as of 4/1/07 Puppy Kindergarten Handouts: Very Helpful Instructor: Yes. You are very helpful and wonderfully responsive, especially to someone with no puppy experience! Topic not covered: No How satisfied were you with the class overall? Very Satisfied Content of class: It great from start to finish. Recommend: Absolutely, and have. Recommend YN: Yes Your Name: Susan C Puppy Kindergarten Handouts: Very Helpful Very informative and well presented. It was very helpful as an ongoing training aid. Instructor: Yes. Extremely. We really appreciated the personal attention and positive and fun atmosphere. Topic not covered: Not applicable to us only because we had to discontinue our lessons because we had return to our residence in New York City. How satisfied were you with the class overall? Very Satisfied Content of class: From what we experienced, the course was very extensive, personal and enjoyable not only to us but also for our Golden Retriever. We were clueless about positive dog training techniques - it was joy to see how dog training could be so fun and rewarding. Karen took a real interest in our dog and the dynamics of our family. We were first time dog owners so her support and training were very much appreciated. Honey (our dog) appreciated it also! Recommend: Absolutely. Your Name: Martha J Elementary School Handouts: Very Helpful Handouts: Everything was very helpful, and good to refer back to. Instructor: Yes very helpful and understanding with each student. Thank you Topic not covered: No How satisfied were you with the class overall? Satisfied Content of class: I was satisfied I have never had a dog so I don't know if there was anything missing that I should know. I wish my dog would learn to walk by me but I am working on it. Recommend: Training is very good and friendly not rushed. I would recommend it to everyone Recommend YN: Yes Your Name: Mirza Elementary School Handouts: Very Helpful Handouts: I thoroughly enjoyed the class! I am back for a 2nd session! Instructor: Yes Topic not covered: No How satisfied were you with the class overall?thoroughlysatisfied Content of class: I came into the class, thoroughly expecting that my 3- year old dog would be "too old" to be trained. The reality is: I am never too old to learn how to communicate expectations, boundaries, love, and appreciation to my pet!" Recommend: And I have! Recommend YN: Yes Your Name: Cheryl Elementary School Handouts: Very Helpful Handouts: both Ric and i found the class very helpful with general commands. I still want to come for the next class because we still have some outside issues. Instructor: Yes Topic not covered: because I think the next class will cover different material??? Topic not covered: No Recommend: Comments - i already have Recommend YN: Yes Your Name: deeann k Elementary School Handouts: Very Helpful Handouts: All have been truly excellent, and as you have compiled them, much better than most of the books out there Instructor: Yes Instructor: Yes, but see below -- your energies were split given the character of the dogs in the class. Topic not covered: Well, maybe. I felt like we didn't get as much accomplished in each session as we might have. Topic not covered: No How satisfied were you with the class overall?: Satisfied Content of class: Having two dogs in the class who had behavioral problems made it less satisfying as a training and socialization experience for me. It was a distraction in terms of focus, and made the lessons a whole lot less fun. It was stressful to constantly be on-guard that your dog didn't get too close to another, etc. Not having play time after class was a big downside as well. Recommend: Absolutely, and will continue to! I think you are the best training in the region! We will be signing up for a new series soon (just wish I could say that Jazz and I were both so much better now...) Recommend YN: Yes Your Name: Susan ***Note: One of the dogs to whom Susan is referring was removed from class and owners offered private lessons. |
