Maci – Malinois

Roni,
trained dog with kidsI know it has been a long time since we have seen you, but I wanted to fill you in on Maci’s progress. We continue to work with her on a regular basis with the tools that you have given us, and (this almost brings me to tears) I am very happy to say that she is a changed dog. Because of you this was possible!!!!! You don’t know it, but I thank you every day for what you have given us. Maci has become a wonderful dog since your training, and she is now able to confidently be around other people and dogs!!!!!! I have attached a picture that I think you will enjoy. You were a blessing to us and I could never thank you enough.

I hope all is well with you and I promise I will stop by and see you soon.

Baron – Cocker Spaniel

When we first met Roni we had a out of control 4 month old Cocker Spaniel. Roni came to our house and helped us understand how dogs think and how they react to many different situations. If we had not had Roni’s help and leadership we would not have the great relationship we now have with our dog. Thanks to Roni we now have a well behaved companion that is a total joy. If you need any guidance with your dog, you will find that Roni has the answer for you. Thank you very much for all or your help and guidance.

Sammy – Golden Retreiver

This is my first dog, so I had a lot of questions. Roni was very helpful answering any questions and making the concepts as simple as possible. There was a noticeable change for both us and our dog at the end of the first lesson! The more I practice the techniques, the better i was able to communicate with her. I found the training to be very interesting and enjoyable. It is very helpful to know why dogs behave and react the way they do.

Boots – 11 month Bullmastiff

Roni impressed me the very first time I talked to her on the telephone. We were having some problems “potty training” our dog Boots and Roni talked to me a very long time, giving me many suggestions on how to help our dog. I thought this was excellent since we had never met and she did not know if she would be training our dog at this time.

At our first meeeting, she spent a very long time getting to know us and again giving me suggestions. We have been training with her about six weeks. She has helped me deal with many issues with Boots, such as not being able to walk down our stairs and not jumping into our vehicle. Roni seems to know what is in the dog’s mind and is able to figure out the best way to deal with any problems. She gives so much personal attention to everyone and has come to my house to help me with Boots. Boots learned the basics very quickly with the collar. We both love Roni and would highly recommend Tri-Star Dog training Academy for training any dog.

May-May

Dear Roni,
I am very grateful that I met you. You have helped me and my family so much! We were really heading in the wrong direction with where we were going with May May. I personally am so glad we found you. If it weren’t for you, I might not even have a dog anymore; May and I might not have the great bond and trust we have today. If it weren’t for you, I might never, EVER have a chance, or know how to show dogs, but since I met you, I can have that chance. It is a dream that I’ve had since I was 5 years old. So, I just wanted to say thanks, thanks for everything.

Sincerely,
Chelsea A. Lovett (13 years old)

Tess – 17 month German Shepherd

We have had Tess since midnight the 6th of November 2005. She arrived on our doorstep and was determined not to be turned away. We knew to whom she belonged and that she constantly ran away. Everyone on our street had returned her home at least once. It was always a sad return with Tess cowering each time. So sad that one of the neighbors planned to take her to the pet refuge in the next county. We had not planned to add another dog to our lives, but she was so lovable.

After talking with the owner the next morning, we decided to keep her with the owner’s blessing. I immediately called Roni. She helped us a few years earlier with a misbehaving Beagle. I did not expect her to drop everything and come to our aid, but she did.

Tess was what we affectionately called a Houdini dog. No matter what kennel we used to house her while we were gone, she escaped it. Then she proceeded to remove our coffee pot from the burner and place it in the living room without breaking it. That is just one example of her many talents. Needless to say we had a lot of work to do. With Roni’s help and training classes, Tess has become a welcomed addition to our family. She stays in her kennel for 4-6 hours without worry and has been left in the house alone and out of the kennel for 2 hours, no damage.

Tri-star dog training has addressed our real every day problems. We are more than satisfied with the results and very happy with our new addition.

Thank you,
Terrie and Tim Seago
