I bought your video course Training Your Dog to Come When Called 2024 and it is literally the best course I have ever purchased and I train continually - online and in person (Agility, Rally-O, and Scentwork and Fenzi online).

I became re-acquainted with you, Ed, in recent years after growing up with German Shepherds and, in the last 17 years, Golden Retrievers.

You are such a great video trainer! I love the "tips" and "asides" that you add to the pure lessons. in a word: wisdom. SO much to digest! I will be watching this over and over to catch what I miss. Loved Cindy's 20 minute walk! SO valuable to watch her incorporate training throughout the walk. I could go on and on. But my reason for messaging is to THANK YOU for giving me an affordable lesson. One of my Goldies (the overly friendly one ) recently decided that visiting ring crew during his Agility Trials is more rewarding than running the course efficiently with me. After 2 years of beautiful agility runs! So we are taking a breather from trials while I go through the steps you lay out so clearly. Goal? Reflexive Recall 100% of the time. We will get there (with you and Cindy as guides, how can we not?).

Again, THANK YOU for providing this - it is THE BEST Training Value that I have encountered.

It’s hard to express the most important aspect of balanced dog training I have learned from the course as all that has been taught has been super important. But if I was to single out a few key points that I have learned from the course it is the importance of balanced training and food rewards with games and training. I have my dog trained on a e-collar for recall but always felt there was more to it then just using the e-collar for recall. The games/training videos using rewards/food has been a real eye opener for me and I am looking forward to using and implementing this training to further progress my relationship with my dog and improving his recall skills.
Excellent course and look forward to further enhancing my dog training skills utilizing Leerburgs training experience.

This was a fantastic class. Every module showed me new and fun ways to play games with my dog that are actually building a behavior that I want. We are playing, having fun, and he is LEARNING! He is learning that being with mom is the best place to be. It is a challenge sometimes for me to get the timing right because it makes me so happy to see him learning that I get ahead of myself. Fortunately, since I now know that SHORT sessions are best, I can keep the mistakes to a minimum and reset for next time.

Our favorite right now is the food chase games. He is so food motivated. And today we got to do the call away exercises with a friend and he learned VERY quickly when she stopped interacting and I called him. She lured him over and over, and each time I was able to call him away. We were both amazed at how quickly it clicked for him and effective this is.

Thank you so much for putting so much time and energy and KNOWLEDGE into all these courses. I am hooked. On to the Marker Training 2024 class next, then Basic Obedience, Intermediate Obedience.
