Cassie and Simba - The big baby. Two week Board and Train.

Akin trained my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Simba, when he was 9 months old. To say Simba is stubborn is an understatement and a stubborn big dog vs. me was a losing battle the bigger he got. We were needing help with leash control, managing distractions and overall responsiveness. Akin was professional, informative and loved on my pup while he was under his care for two weeks. Trusting a stranger with your puppy isn't easy and Akin kept me informed throughout the process, putting my mind at ease. The transformation was incredible! Simba isn't a robot by any means and his personality is still the sweetest. He knows he can test his mom the most but he's attentive, responsive and I now know what he is capable of. Over six months have passed since Simba’s time with Akin and I’m happy to say we’ve been able to continuously apply the techniques he taught us (and I mean us - be ready to break your own bad habits). He’s been there for ongoing support with any questions I’ve had. Thank you, Akin, for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us. You set us up for success and it’s been huge in creating an even stronger bond between Simba and me! I never would have been able to get here on my own and I can not recommend your services enough.
