I was so fortunate to learn about Monkey Business through neighbors of ours who too had a young pup to train. We have a beautiful male German Shepard named Bentley for which I knew I was not going to allow any negative and fearful methods of training to be endured on him. It took one class to know that was not for me, not for our Bentley.
Monkey Business gave me hope and what I was looking for...a positive training method which we love! Bentley trusts us and does not fear us, thanks to Monkey Business! There is difference and very important to understand. Bentley is a super happy, friendly and playful pup and loves our classes with Monkey Business. I have done the Beginners, Basic Obedience and now enrolled in Brain Games with them and will continue on to Intermediate classes when offered. There method works, you just have to do your work which is practise!
They provide us with specific solutions for problems we may be having with our dog at the end of the class where your classmates get to learn from too. I am comforted and am sure that if I am having any issues with my pup in terms of behaviour I know I can ask Monkey Business in helping me solve the problem. They are a tremendous support. If you have a puppy you know how stressful the first year is and if not done right could have life long behavioural problems.
