Comprehensive Pet Therapy

Meet Mattie! Mattie is a 1-year-old, female Sheepadoodle who prior to her board train exhibited excited barking behavior when viewing a person or dog, poor leash walking skills, and unreliable basic obedience, especially amidst distractions. Her owners wish Mattie to calmly and responsibly accompany them to outdoor venues, including restaurants, when they visit their second home in St. George Island, Florida.

To accomplish their objectives they selected a CPT board train solution.

Mattie started a bit distractible and recalcitrant — but after 2 focused weeks living with professional CPT Trainer Claire Sims, Mattie made incredible progress! Moreover, she enjoys learning and her camaraderie with Claire.

She’s now mastered reliable and responsive obedience, a rapid recall, proper leash manners, and maintaining tranquility and focus, even around distractions. We’re so proud of Mattie's transformation!

Most importantly, Mattie's owners can now experience more enjoyment from Mattie's inclusion in their family. And Mattie now experiences a higher quality of life, because she is calmer, more confident, and her owners can take her everywhere trusting Mattie will be pleasant company.

The video below shows Mattie completing a public down-stay near an outdoor festival that included a live band. The still photos display a public sit-stay in Avalon, a head shot, and Mattie's figurative wings she sprouted during her board train- wings that allow Maggie to fly through a healthier and happier life.
