What Our Clients Say About Us

When the dog trainer, Danny Spooner, picked up Stella and promised that she would be a rock star when he brought her home, I must admit I was a little skeptical, but hopeful. He told me he had never had a Lisa Bryant When the dog trainer, Danny Spooner, picked up Stella and promised that she would be a rock star when he brought her home, I must admit I was a little skeptical, but hopeful. He told me he had never had a disappointed customer and did not intend for us to be his first. When he brought her home and went through all the commands with us, I was amazed at what he could get her to do. Then he turned her over to us. I was equally impressed at how easy she was to get her to listen to us. She will sit and lay down and will stay there until we release her. She will do this even when someone comes to the door. We can place her somewhere, like her bed, and she will stay in her place until she is released. As impressive as that was, it was inside the house the real test for her is when she goes outside. In the past, Stella would take off over the hill and just look at us when we tried to call her back as she went to the neighbors to play with their dogs. So our only option has been to take her out on a leash. So the outside test started with Stella on a leash and getting her to heel. She would walk step to step of ours, then we dropped the leash and she continued to heel. We then took the leash off and she would stay with us. She is a boxer and has a lot of energy and playing fetch is one of her favorite games, so as we began to play fetch with her, she ran out some of that energy and that is when she would typically go find the neighbors dogs to play with, but today, way out at the end of the yard, I asked her to sit and down. She laid down in the yard and I walked back to the house and she stayed there. She stayed there for over 10 minutes before I released her and she came directly to me. Danny managed to get Stella to remain her high spirited self, but a well mannered dog that listens to commands. We are so happy to say that Stella and have her do whatever we ask her to do. I think Danny and Stella are both rock stars.

Danny is determined to ensure that Ramses and I have a good life built on clear boundaries and ingrained positive behaviors. He takes the time to explain the concepts behind the techniques so I can truly understand them. The level of care my boy received while with Danny and Jeannine was exceptional. Not once did I worry that my baby was not being well cared for, and that is evident in how affectionate my dog is with them. I honestly cannot say enough positive things. As I have said, my life has changed and continues to change. Danny may very well have saved my dog's life. I feel happy and confident with the balanced training approach, and beyond that, I believe I have made a lifelong friend in the process. If you know anyone with a difficult dog or simply a dog that needs training, you should definitely call Danny Spooner at Compass K9.

Our German Shepherd, Mr. Merlin, was a very naughty boy. He wouldn't listen to commands or behave, he was rough on our little dogs and would not and I mean would not deal with us on him life would actually do a death roll like and alligator! Danny and Jeannine are miracle workers! He tested us a bit while Danny stayed and helped us learn commands but he soon got that we weren't going to given in to bad behavior! It is a 100% turn around! They kept me informed and sent pics and videos! I am so thankful for Danny and Jeannine! Their service is a life time service, if he slips they will come back and help us get him back in line! God bless them both for the job they do!
