We are on our 3rd German Shepherd being trained at Duffy's, We started with them over 14 years ago, sadly we lost him a few months ago. But now we are onto a feisty 5 month old GS pup that our daughter got and he is keeping the 8 year old GS young. Any way, Took the puppy to Duffy's because after having the other 2 trained there, we wouldn't dream of going anywhere else, they are simply the best, otherwise we wouldn't have gone twice before. Our other 2 dogs were/are so well behaved and get complimented on how well they walk with us etc all the time. The new puppy was really bad about jumping & barking... within two classes Duffy's had nipped this unwanted behavior in the bud! No more jumping, minimal barking, he is now on class #5 and this is not the same puppy!!! His manners are astounding! Don't get me wrong, he's still playful and bouncy and fun, just, when he want's to go outside, he waits to be invited not rush out as soon as the door opens, (oh and he rings his bells attached to the door to let us know too!:-) So smart! He doesn't ""attack"" when you go to feed him, he waits till you tell him he can have it. He will sit and come when called. And he's 5 months old!! There are a lot of other things, but just basic manners are the best. You owe it to yourself and your dog to get the proper training, It makes everyone's life so much easier, and if your going to pay to have your dog trained, do it right the 1st time and go where they know what they are doing, go to Duffy's!!
