The *New and Improved* Taco!

Remember back in February I told you we had a dog trainer for Taco? You can find a blurb about it here.

Well I am happy to say that a few months later, after a few training sessions with Grasshopper Dog Training, Taco is no longer pulling on leash and is coming back to us when we call him! We also have a ton of information on how to prepare ourselves and Taco for baby. I absolutely LOVED our trainer's style. What sold me on her first of all was that she had worked in a zoo with wild animals, so I figured she would have no problem with our docile and friendly Taco. Then when we first met her she was very open and shared so many ideas with us. I think my favourite part was that there was always a follow-up on each training session with reminders of games to play with Taco that made it fun for him and for us to practice. Also, her philosophy on dog training about positive reinforcement made the whole experience a very positive one. We would praise Taco when he did things well, and ignore (and/or correct) him when he didn't. If anyone is having a hard time with their dog's behaviour I highly recommend Grasshopper Dog Training! Oh and this is my very sincere opinion, I was not compensated in any way and was not asked to write this review, I'm just really really really happy with the results!
