Cora Wittekind's Profile

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Cora. She was exactly what our family needed. We adopted our chocolate lab Rosco at 12 months old and spent the next year struggling. We tried click/treat training, discipline, bought everything on the market to try to get him under control. He was leash aggressive, flipped out when other dogs were around, didn't like men, jumped at people, dragged me down the street into traffic, it was awful. Our relationship was suffering because he had basically taken over our house. I was at my wits end when I decided to take the No Jump No Pull class at the Cap Hill DDL. Cora took Rosco from me and within 2 mins had him behaving like a new dog. The introduction to a new way of thinking was great, but he still had a lot of the aggressive behaviors. We opted for private lessons with Cora. I don't know who fell in love with her more...Rosco or us! She really helped us understand how to help him be more successful and relax, how to trust us and how to create a calmer environment for him to function in. She also let us bring our smaller dog in to see how they were interacting together. It has been about 5 months and I am proud to say he has come so far. We both learned so much. I am so much more aware of what he needs and he now knows he can trust me to take care of him. Our house is peaceful and our dogs know the ground rules. They are both so much more relaxed. We still have some work to do, but we are so much happier. Greg and I cannot thank Cora enough for all of her insight and patience with us as we learned to be better handlers and I swear Rosco has a little puppy crush on her : ) Best investment of time and money ever! We recommend her to people we meet all the time and will continue to. Should we ever get another dog, bred or rescue, she will be our first stop. Thank you Cora!

My dog and I have been training with Cora for 6 months. Cora has helped resolve my dogs behavior issues including separation anxiety, reaction to aggression, jumping, pulling and not listening or obeying commands. Cora has also helped with MY training as it relates to achieving a successful relationship with my dog. She makes training logical and easy to follow. The best part is that my dog and all the other dogs that I've seen interact with Cora, love and respect her. From a human perspective, she is kind, reliable, effective and I trust her completely with my dogs training and well being. She has changed both of our lives ... for good.
