Daisy knows the answer to this question…thanks to Lone Star Pet Lodges! It’s hard to believe that the polite dog trotting next to me on her leash used to do aerial flips and tackle pedestrians. Now walking the kids to school with Daisy is a pleasure! If I stop to talk to another mom, Daisy sits without even being asked. She also sits and waits to be allowed in or out of the house. No more jumping on the table during mealtimes, no more knocking over guests…but that’s just the beginning!
After only two months of training, she’s a happier, more confident dog. Walter Darr of Lone Star Pet Lodges told me during her initial assessment that despite her “crazy and wild” behavior, she had a bit of a self-confidence problem. Now I can see how proud she is of all she’s learned. When we do a training session at home, it tires her out and helps her burn off some energy…so she doesn’t get into trouble. She’s too busy remembering her lessons to chew on chair legs or Legos.
We’re thrilled that she’s a successful graduate of “Basic Obedience and Manners”…but Daisy isn’t going to rest on her laurels. She already begun work on crowd-pleasers including “roll over” and “shake.” Walter says, “Daisy’s also going to take the American Kennel Club ‘Good Canine Citizen’ test and Sarah and her family will sign the pledge to be responsible owners. Well-trained dogs are ambassadors to the community. Through my work with the Sugar Land Animal Service’s Adoption program, I’ve seen how behavior problems can make it hard for a dog to keep its ‘forever home,’ but proper training is the answer. We pride ourselves on unleashing the ‘good dog’ inside every ‘sweet dog.’”
Walter and Lara Darr founded Lone Star Pet Lodges to offer Day Care, Lodging, Grooming, and Transportation services for cats, small mammals, small reptiles, and birds…as well as dogs! Walter says, “In addition to our ‘Stay and Play’ boarding, we do also offer a ‘Lodge and Learn’ option. Take your summer vacation and come back to a dog who’s had a jump-start on training. Whether they’re lodging, learning, playing or being groomed, we treat each pet like a star!”
I can’t tell you how grateful we are to Walter and everyone at Lone Star Pet Lodges. They turned the dog we love into a dog we love living with!
