Testimonials
“Something I’ve taken from my experience with Rettungs-Haus training is that every owner and their dog have their own set of “issues”. They could have aggression, fear, separation anxiety, intense energy, or maybe even no issues at all. Rettungs-Haus Shepherds takes you, your dog, and your issues just as you are and helps to solve those important to you. They teach you how to be confident, clear, and consistent with your training. You and your dog come out with a relationship based on mutual respect, trust and understanding.”
– Rachel V.
“We searched for years to find a dog trainer that could help us with our dog-aggressive dog. Unfortunately, every time we got in contact with someone, they would stop responding once they learned he was part pitbull, or would tell me aggression is usually unfixable. Everyone at Rettungs-Haus has welcomed us with open arms since day one… After only 4 sessions, we’ve seen a drastic difference in our fur baby.”
– Rachel C.
“I have been training with Rettungs-Haus Shepherds for almost two years now. The Rettungs-Haus team have been life-changing. Louie was a huge challenge when he was young… Rettungs-Haus taught me how to read his body language and this alone has made a huge difference in keeping him safe.”
– Barb R.
