While our dog was not a ""pandemic puppy"" she has had the unfortunate experience of spending almost her first full year of life in quarantine and thus lacks the confidence and social skills we want her to have to be successful. Initially was skeptical that a digital format wouldn't offer much value, having only ever trained in person, both group and 1-1 training. That said, I'm sure i'm not alone in the experience of having the trainer cue and support your dog in a behavior in class, only to feel miserably lost at home. I have to say I am TOTALLY sold on the incredible value that Calm Canine Academy offers! The digital format worked great, in fact, I think it was better than in person. In-person means other people energy, totally confident and competent trainers, not to mention dog energy and smells that are distracting. Doing the training in our home really allowed Willow to be comfortable. Karishma did an awesome job in ""god mode"" watching, making observations, and providing feedback on what she saw. It was clear that she's done her homework on both dogs AND humans and could pick up on even the smallest body language communications over zoom. She was also HILARIOUS - I felt like I was watching a Netflix documentary... I'm so hooked that I immediately signed up for some digital 1-1 training because I feel confident she can help me work to support my wonderful dog with some behaviors that are holding her back. 100% recommend!
