“Shelby’s story from puppy to therapy dog”
I was referred to Rambo Team through our vet back in August shortly after we got our Neapolitan Mastiff Shelby. Given that our little puppy was going to grow into such a large family member we wanted to make sure that she would be very well behaved! After just my first phone conversation with Yelena I was confident that we found the right person to take us through this journey. Yelena and Carrie are both extremely knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to training and understanding a dog’s behavior. You can tell that they both truly care for each of the dogs and all of the families! Yelena is always available to answer questions and address any concerns or difficulties we may be having. Yelena and Carrie also continue to make classes challenging and intriguing so that we are all learning and advancing. If our pup is struggling with something then they are able to help us work through it so that we can be successful. It’s really amazing to see the progress that Shelby has made in the 5 months that we have been going to Rambo Team. It’s very rewarding when we are out in public and strangers compliment us on how well behaved our puppy is.
We have also taken advantage of Rambo Team’s dog boarding services which have been a huge convenience to our family. While they have Shelby for boarding they also train her a few hours each day and teach her several new exercises each time! Yelena then shares the training videos with me so that I can continue to work on those same exercises at home with Shelby. Every time we get Shelby back it is amazing to see how much progress Yelena and Carrie have made with her in the short amount of time they had her. It’s such a relief to know when you are out of town that your pup is with someone who loves her as much as you.
I know if it wasn’t for the guidance of Yelena and Carrie that our 100 pound puppy certainly would not be as well mannered as she is today. I couldn’t imagine taking Shelby anywhere else and highly recommend Rambo Team!!! From Michaelene Whyte
