Thank you Rich and Christina! Before coming to Misguided Mutts I was anxious to walk my dog, Bailey. Literally anxious.
I would take her to empty corporate centers on weekends and various parks at times that weren’t crowded. I could never just open our front door and walk her in my neighborhood for fear of seeing other dogs. Her reaction to other dogs, people on bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, etc. was embarrassing. She would bark (she sounds vicious when she barks), lunge, and pull me. The last straw was when we were walking on the Chester Valley Trail and she spotted a rabbit in the brush, she pulled me down to the ground.
I can honestly say that Misguided Mutts has changed our lives.
I no longer feel anxious, but confident when I walk my dog. I now enjoy walking her in my neighborhood, and it is so much more convenient! Not having that fear has been life changing. The fact that we are able to walk in downtown West Chester, past other dogs, loud cars etc. with ease is awesome.
Rich and Christina were extremely helpful and honest. They pointed out what I was doing wrong, and showed me how my energy transfers to the dog. They also showed me techniques on how to handle on-coming dogs.
Rich and Christina are very passionate about dog training. They devote their free time for client pack walks two weekends a month. If you have a reactive dog, try Misguided Mutts. They are AWESOME!
