Black Hill Dobermans

We are truly grateful for making the decision to have our german shepherd pup (Maysie, 13 months old) stay with Blackhill for a four week board and train program. Previous to her stay, we had invested time and effort into training Maysie in obedience but faced a few obstacles when it came to high-distraction situations like encountering ATV's and snowmobiles when out on trail walks - along with a few other quirks. It came to a point where we were worried for her safety and decided to entrust our precious girl with Sam and Andrew for a month so she could be trained with an e-collar to help ensure she responded to our cues when her safety was at stake. Well, we couldn't have been more pleased with the result - not only with ATV's but with countless other situations that have improved our day-to-day interactions with her. We not only arrived to find that Maysie was still the same loving, playful pup that we dropped off - but she was now so responsive, consistent, and focused when it was expected of her. Maysie's recall improved tremendously, her pulling during walks has decreased significantly, I have been able to use the place" command to a great extent with meaningful success (preparing our meals
