Bear and Byrdie testimonial
My name is Berget, but you can call me Bear. This is Byrdie. We’re a couple of Australian Shepherds. Yes, the ones without tails. (It’s a long story, don’t ask.)
Our owners, Lee and Marilyn, have been training with Kyle for several years. See, here’s the thing about Kyle. You might think he trains dogs. But actually he trains dog owners. And honestly, Lee and Marilyn were not the easiest to break in. But the thing about Kyle is that he never gives up. It took Lee and Marilyn a while to get the basics down, but once they did they were able to build on their repertoire of commands. That’s the thing about Kyle. He doesn’t train. He teaches you how to train. It’s kind of like that saying, “ you can give a cat a fish and he’ll eat for a day. But if you teach a cat to fish, he’ll just stare at you.” Or something like that. I’ve gotten Lee to do a pretty good heel without even having to keep him on a leash. And Byrdie’s been very good at getting Marilyn to sit, stay and come. Before Kyle taught them dog-think, who knew they didn’t want us in the flowerbeds? Now, we’re like, “why didn’t you just say so?” But they’re finally getting the hang of it.
How do I know Kyle’s good? Whenever we’re out in public other dogs always stop and tell us how well mannered our owners are. We’re very proud.
