“Since Mia’s training, Iggy is much more loving. Iggy seems to know his place now, so its much more fun to have our dog…he’s not a burden like before…and its getting better!”

My name is Dianne Simboro and this is my dog, Iggy. We got Iggy from the pound and he was doing crazy things like running like a lunatic out the front door and we just couldn’t catch him – we would have to run and chase him through the neighbourhood and it was really troublesome. We just couldn’t trust Iggy by the front door.

Also, when we took him for a walk, he would yank on the lead and go beserk. My goal was to have Iggy do obstacle courses and agility because I thought we could have fun together. Mia came along and in just one day she taught me how to take control of the lead, how to get Iggy’s attention so we walk together on the street. I had some level of control over Iggy. So we have gone from going crazy every time we left the front door to actually being able to walk with Iggy happily alongside me and looking to me. Iggy even stops and starts when I stop and start!

Sometimes Iggy goes out of control but most of the time he has been really, really good. Mia has taught me all sorts of different techniques and he is really paying attention now! One of our biggest problems was Iggy running out the front door and him not coming back and we were frightened of losing Iggy to a car.

What Mia taught me was to run in the opposite direction and now Iggy, thinking it’s a wonderful game, runs after me and comes back of his own volition! I don’t have to worry about my Iggy as much anymore. Since Mia’s training Iggy is much more loving and he takes himself off to bed at night – he seems to know his place now so it’s much more fun to have our dog…he’s not a burden like it was before. It is good and it’s getting better!

“Mia came along and shared some tips with my mum on how to train Honey. Now they’re both very happy…”

Hello, I am Mary and this is my mum’s dog, Honey. Honey gave my mum a little bit of trouble – whenever my mum went to take Honey in the car, Honey would get car sick and very anxious. My mum wanted to take Honey out often as she did not want a house-bound dog. Mia came along and shared some tips with my mum on how to train Honey. Now they’re both very happy and they both hop in the car and they go wherever they like and Honey is much better behaved. So, thank you Mia! It’s been a successfiul operation for all involved.

“Now when I walk along people smile and look at these well-behaved dogs. If only they knew what my dogs used to be like!”

Hi, I am Rob Heselev and we’ve got two dogs and my mother-in-law has a dog so we have had to deal with 3 dogs’ problems for a while; the problems were mainly relating to walking and controlling them on the leash. And it would get quite crazy because we’d have one dog walking in one direction and the others running in the other direction so we’d get all tied up in knots and they’d try and trip me over. I’m sure that they were not trying to do this on purpose but that was the result.

Anyway, we spoke to Mia, she came along and helped us with training them simply to heel. And now when I walk along people smile and look at these well-behaved dogs. If only they knew what my dogs used to be like! The benefit to us is that we can go for a walk and not get tripped over by lunatic dogs running around like crazy. So thank you Mia. It’s been fun having you around and helping us train our dogs so now they no longer the local lunatics!
