Case Study: Mush the Malamute
From Problematic Aggression to Calmness
This is what our client, David, says about Jonathan's training: "I adopted my malamute, Mush, in early February thinking this would be an easy fit. Boy was I wrong. Mush has every single behavioral problem you can list: resource guarding, separation anxiety, hyperactive, super alpha to family members and overall lacks obedience training. He actually bit me on the 3rd day because I was trying to take away a plastic bag he got from the garbage can.
This is where Jonathan came in. After the initial consultation, we were seeing improvements. Jonathan gave us the proper tools and technique to correct Mush and his behavioral problems. By the end of the 5th training session, all of Mush's problems were gone!
Please note that Jonathan will give you the tools and techniques to train your dog and correct their behavior issue. YOU, the dog owner, have to put in the effort to follow Jonathan's teaching."
