Spartan Canine Training

We rescued a male Great Dane and after a lot of training on our own (and not much progress) we made the decision to enroll Bo into the 6 week board and train program at Spartan Training. It was a difficult decision, it would be tough leaving our 2 year old boy there, but we were at our wits end.
Upon meeting Carson, he asked what we hoped to get out of the program. We told him we would like to be able to do all the things we did before adopting Bo. Things we enjoyed with our senior Dane : walks, going to the beach, camping, campfires and entertaining family and friends. Things we could no longer do because Bo was aggressive and we had little to no control. I couldn't even get a leash on him without him dragging me all over the yard! He would snatch food from the counter or table, he would attack our visitors, we couldn't even play fetch with him.
We were skeptical, it was a lot. He was a lot.
After 6 long weeks (even though he was a handful, I missed him!) and several updates from Carson, it was finally time to pick him up.
I could see the difference immediately. He was relaxed, confident. The trainer, Alex instructed him to sit and he did! Even after not seeing mom and dad for all that time! When she released him from the command, he walked over to us and greeted us. He was excited, but wasn't out of control. After the welcome, we got to business working with Carson & Alex on the commands that Bo had been learning for the past 6 weeks.
I couldn't believe it! I was walking him on a leash and I was in control! He followed my lead and didn't pull or drag me around. He did the same when it was my spouses turn. Amazing!
We got home and he is a changed dog! He listens to us. We play fetch, he drops the ball or frisbee and waits to catch it. I walk him daily. He doesn't snatch food anymore. We have had family and friends over and he is friendly. He still gets excited, he is still a puppy, but he's not barking or aggressive to our guests. The transformation is incredible! I never would have believed it, had I not gone through it and witnessed it first hand. That's why I tell everyone about Spartan Training and the amazing work they do there. Maybe your dog doesn't need the 6 week course, they have plenty of other training options.
Carson and the other trainers at Spartan gave us our quality of life back with our new and improved Bo. We're able to enjoy all the things we love to do again, with BOTH of our dogs. For that we are eternally grateful.
Thank you! Kylie & Rob

We made the decision to send Winston our 2 year old German Shepherd after an incident, we had worked with 4 trainers without a positive outcome, we were not giving up on this beautiful boy. We were referred to Spartan Training, I was hesitant in having to be away from him for 5 weeks. Although very difficult I trusted it was the best thing for both Winston and family. We can’t thank Carson and Alex enough for all their hard work. Winston is a different dog when it comes to his behaviour, aggression and listening skills, not changing his quirky personality. He is a happier boy. We are thrilled. Truly an amazing transformation!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
