Mr. Deeley,
I'm sure you have wondered how I am faring with Rusty after your fine training? It has been great!!! Rusty is so good no and hasn't even chewed up anything. He doesn't jump on anyone and I can let him off of his leash, throw a ball and he retrieves it returning promptly. He doesn't whine or bark anymore and never runs out the front door. It's truly amazing. I really like this dog now and so do my kids and their friends. I'm getting the hang of the remote and know the buttons by heart now. Hope all is well on your end.

Words cannot describe how grateful Karen and I are for what you have done with Baxter. I am happy to report that we just finished training this morning and Baxter is resting peacefully at my feet (while I am composing this email). This is the second half of this morning's training-Can Baxter settle when I or Karen tell him to? So far, the answer is yes!!! In the past, this would have not been possible. He would have been un-settled and looking for some trouble to get into. Instead, he seems happy to be by my side and is simply awaiting my next command! All that I can say is-WOW!!!
    
We are committed to following the program that you have set forth and are looking forward to the day when we can triumphantly claim that "Baxter is a well-balanced and happy dog"!!!
    
In closing, please know that Karen and I admire the work that you and Pat do and consider ourselves lucky to know you both!!!
    
CHEERS to PAT and Martin!!!
    
Sincerely, Wade, Karen and Baxter (well-balanced, in training)
  

Zeuscrop.jpg


Zeus is doing remarkably well. I never thought I would see the day when my dog, Mr. Aggressive, would walk off leash every time all the time. He has learned that not every dog is out to get him, even dogs he has never seen before and are running towards him do not bother him. He either just stares at them and walks away when we call him or he sits down and gives them a friendly hello. Unbelievable! We have changed and so has he. We no longer focus on what may happen. We focus on what is happening; that he is a wonderful and loving dog who needed guidance and structure. People that have known us and have seen us walking him for the past months have noticed the difference in him as well. We are still working on his people issues and we take one day at a time.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I cannot say that enough. We are so glad we found you.

And Recently

As you can see, finally, the long awaited picture of the much improved Zeus. He even has his pretty necklace on. Zeus has been with us almost 13 months and the difference in his behavior and his attitude is remarkable. I think he now realizes he is here to stay, no matter what. He is no longer aggressive towards other dogs and he is warming up to people. He walks up to our neighbors, under our watchful eye of course, and lets them pet him and give him treats. Before, that would have not been possible. Even my daughter has commented that it cannot be the same dog I brought home a year ago.

I am just elated that Zeus is doing so well and I think he is the happy dog he should have been a long time ago.

All of that would have not been possible without your patients and assistance. Thank God we found you.

I will talk to you soon. Take care. Uli

The latest.
It has been a year since we last saw you and as you know we have made remarkable progress with Zeus or I think I should say Zeus has turned his world around to be a happy and healthy dog. I am still in awe over all of this which would have not been possible without you.

Our goal this year is to let people into our home without having to lock Zeus into another room. Well, I have good news to report. We had friends come over. They even brought their own dog, a German Shepherd and amazingly after a 30 minute walk with the two dogs, our friends walked into our home and Zeus was pleased to have a play date. Even our neighbors come over with their children and Zeus thinks he has to be the keeper of those children and walk with them wherever they go. I think for Zeus the key is to walk into our home together with everyone.

Zeus is now able to enter our neighbor's yard to play with their two dogs with the children and everyone in the same yard. When we first brought Zeus home and he saw anyone in their yard he would go into attack mode. The kids are younger and one even poked him in the nose last weekend and he just looked at her and licked her hand. I am just loving this.

Just wanted to let you know how greatful I am with you for changing my life. Things have been very well with kaiser and I'm really thankful for all your help. I've been able to control my anxious dog with the collar and keeping in mind all the advice you gave me.

Annabell is a PitBull that owner Lorraine Smith had serious problems controlling with dog, cats and other animals. She wanted to kill them all, even Lorraine's own cats. Lorraine had been to four trainers prior to this and had been advised by two that Annabelle should be euthanised
 
Loraine writes following consultations and lessons with FSD;
 
I have just came back from my first e-collar walk with Annabelle.  On the way out we managed to walk past two of my cats without her having a hissy fit and she walked on heel the whole time, but wait....it gets better. There is a house on the end of my street where a big american bull dog lives, he's always loose sitting around his house, but he seems like a big quite guy.  Anyway, I totally forgot about him as we walked by and only noticed he was there when Annabelle swung her head around I used the collar on a 2 and slowly walked off the sidewalk as if nothing was going on (continuing to press on the red button until she was looking ahead and not paying too much attention to him).  He actually got so close he was sniffing her butt and we didn't have a problem.  I just walked on and she came along by my side!!!! 
 
THEN....When we got home one of my cats refused to get off the doorstep, again with the collar on 2, I put Annabelle in a sit, took my keys out my pocket, opened my door and we walked right past my cat!  The interesting thing I observed was that when we came inside she just walked straight in a didn't try to get back to the door to get the cat like she normally does....interesting.
 
This email comes to you as a great big heartful hug full of gratitude and thank you's.

And More

You have no idea how thankful I am to you. You gave Annabelle and I a chance when no one else would (twice). i knew both of us were capable, we just needed someone to show us how to do it. If it hadn't been for Cesar's website, and Gail kindly responding to my email and putting me in touch with you, I don't know where we would be today. Only a few months ago (after our last visit to you), a few dog professionals commented on how they didn't think Annabelle could improve any further. Well, once again that little dog has proven people wrong.... The last few days Annabelle has been out playing in the backyard while 3 of the stray cats were hanging around 10-20 feet from her, and she didn't go after them, of course it crossed her mind once or twice, but she corrected herself on each occasion. ( Babette says she is totally amazed and would never have thought it was possible). And, thanks to your retrieving techniques, I am able to have her wait and not chase moving prey. We still have a long way to go, and I'm sure we will always be in a continuous education program, but I can't tell how nice it is to "like" my dog and not be in a constant battle with her.

Marco.jpg
Marco the Papillon

WOW!!!  Words can not explain how amazed we are at the results of our little Marco.  Marco was a very sweet and loving little dog to us but other strangers and dogs beware.  We were embarrassed by his behavior when we walked him in our neighborhood.  People would jump off the sidewalk to avoid this adorable little pup.  We did not know how to control his aggression.  He also chased and harassed our cats to no end.  Oh, and the worst of all he liked to dig holes in our dry wall.  We contacted Pat and Martin to see if they could help (not really thinking there would be any solution because it was probably just his little personality).  We took Marco for 2 week boot camp and when we returned we could hardly believe the results.  I now take Marco everywhere with me (Home Depot- he loves the shopping carts, outdoor café’s, even my personal training sessions at the gym).  Everyone comments on how well behaved my dog is and I kind of chuckle knowing just a few weeks ago they would not have said that.  Marco now walks around my neighborhood without a leaseh and is very friendly with other people and dogs.  He leaves my cats alone and has even made friends with one of them.  Marco now rides in the passenger seat of my car and he actually lays down, where before he would have been all over the car and me!!  I could literally go on for pages about the improvement of Marco, and we can’t wait for our other papillon Polo to attend their awesome training camp as well.  Thanks again, you have changed our lives!

I cannot recommend Pat and Martin too strongly. They are terrific at what they do. Seeing Pat's expertise first hand as she worked with my in-laws and their new puppy, was the event that truly brought home to me what a first rate pet behaviorist and dog trainer can and should do. I could see she was truly committed to helping people find and bring out in their pets the good manners. skills and behaviors that most owners only dream of. Pat and Martin have distinguished themselves as outstanding pet behaviorists and dog trainers; clearly a cut above other dog trainers.

If you truly care about having a great  dog AND a great companion, do yourself and your dog a favor and let Martin and Pat work their magic on your dog. Both you and your dog will be better because of it!........

It is obvious from all your training methods which were integrated into the course that you truly understand dogs and train them in a manner that they can comprehend quickly, with minimal stress to the dog.

 

Melanie Schlagenhafen Owner, Best Friends Bed & Biscuit

I just want to thank you and tell you what a great job you did with Bogey. He is such a better dog that we could have ever imagined. He has been with us in NY on the boat for the summer. We have enjoyed being able to take him to work with us and trust that he is not going to run away.

Because how well trained he is we constantly get compliments from everybody that we meet.

Uli and Jimmy with Zeus (A very aggressive GSD Mix with both dogs and people)

 

I have great news to report about Zeus. He is doing very well with his new collar. Jimmy is even brave enough to walk him without a leash. On our walk last night we encountered dogs off leash and people. I was close to a heart attack while Jimmy was calm, cool and collected. I cannot say Zeus was not tempted, however with a little help from the collar; he didn’t even give them a second look. AMAZING! I was so proud of him I could have cried.

 

Words cannot express my gratitude to you. If it weren’t for Cesar’s show, his book and him bringing us to you, I don’t know how we would have been able to change our way of thinking to make Zeus the dog he should be.

To Friends

***Well, I hate to admit it, but Snickers is doing great.  She went to Fla to boot camp for two weeks and has come home a different dog.  In fact I'm starting to really like her.  I walk her everyday sometimes without her leash and she actually listens to commands.  In fact she's here in my office sleeping......not downstairs pulling the paint off the walls.  We took her to the Vet on Sat and she was so well behaved the Vet couldn't believe it.

 

To Martin and Pat

***You were so right about this being a different dog.  But I never really believed how different she would be until we got her home. She's done great working with us. 

Our Vet is very impressed with your training procedures.  Snick is sleeping here next to me in my office.  We went for a long walk next door and I let her play with the grandchildren and she was so good.

 

OK OK I admit it.  I'm starting to like her, but just a little bit.

 

Thank you all for everything you did.

Kohle - Giant Schnauzer

 

We cannot begin to thank you sufficiently for the wonderful pet you returned to us. It’s absolutely amazing that you could take a two and a half year old raised with no training and in just two weeks return to us a charming gentleman. Your expertise astounds us. Kohle has become under your guidance much more than we ever expected. You are awesome trainers. Our friends and neighbors cannot believe he is the same dog, but we assure them there was no switch. Kohle, as he is today, is a result of your expert training and gentle caring

Bonnie - PitBull/Pointer/?? Mix
 
Just a short note to let you know how well Bonnie is doing and to thank you for your great training expertise. Although the Holidays were very busy and our schedules and rountine were out of whack, Bonnie continues to make progress. She is so much easier to live with now! I even think my husband is becoming fond of her!  We still work at it every day , but I know she is becoming more conditioned to better behavior. Thanks so much to you both.      Elizabeth Clary

Bud and Patch, The Wonder Dog

PATCH - The Wonder Dog.

The most important point in obtaining a good pup is to buy from a respectable breeder and to train with a competent trainer. This is exactly what I did when I got my pup. Martin not only breeds fine pups he socializes them and prepares them to exposure outside the kennel, which is an important step in the development of a confident hunting dog. I was very fortunate and was able to spend a considerable amount of time with Martin in getting started in the training process with my pup, Patch. I learned from Martin a wealth of information that I was able to retain and then convey to Patch over time in her development. Martin has the unique ability to train not only the dog put the handler as well.

 

As a result with my experience gained while training with Martin, I can unequivocally state that I have the best hunting partner possible. Patch and I have now successfully hunted both waterfowl and upland birds in the Midwest and as far north as the prairie pothole region in Saskatchewan, and have even been asked and given demonstrations for the Missouri Dept of Conservation for their “Great Outdoors Days” event. We have been invited to guide pheasant hunts and retrieve shot birds on private game reserves in Missouri and Kansas. It is an absolute pleasure to have a dog that others look forward to hunting over.

 

One of the enjoyment in owning a hunting retriever is to watch it perform with enthusiasm and style, running a straight unhesitant line to a shot bird, retrieving the bird and then delivering to hand in the same manner. In order to achieve this degree of excellence in a hunting dog, the dog most have confidence in its ability to perform and to do so enthusiastically with the desire to please. This can only be accomplished with the proper training. The trainer plays an extremely important part in the dog’s development. The dog must be trained in a manner that makes it a pleasure to learn and instills confidence in the pup. This is where Martin excels. Martin trains and teaches you to train in such a manner that the handler and the pup are a team. Observing the pup in training easily evidences this. Its tail is happily wagging, and it looks forward to each training session with enthusiasm.  Not only my pup, but also all the pups I observed Martin training, train with a high degree of enthusiasm, happiness, confidence, and as a team. This is what I believe makes them excel. Mine certainly did. Martin’s method of training also develops a pup that is a pleasure in the field as well as an excellent companion for the entire family.

 

 Thank you so much Martin for all your knowledge, guidance, and help provided that enabled me to have the hunting partner I refer to as “Wonder Dog”, more commonly known as Patch.
