On Saturday morning, I was proud to help a fellow veteran U.S. Army soldier who served over in Europe back in the early 1980s train his pair of very large nine-month-old German Shepherd littermates, Kane and Coco, who were giving him severe heartburn regarding their obedience. Both dogs were difficult to walk individually or separately on the leash. They did not know how to sit or stay in place for or at a distance, jumped excessively when it wasn't warranted, and barked when it wasn't permitted. Now my owner has the tools and knowledge to control these great-looking boys. They are walking properly on the leash without pulling, sitting and staying in place and at a distance, and only barking when it's warranted and jumping when it's permitted. All training was accomplished without using food or treats for motivation.

On Friday afternoon I was excited to help another amazing couple who have been together for 30 years and have an 8-month-old red heeler named Rebel, who even went to a box store trainer without much success. Rebel was giving my couple some serious heartache due to her poor listening skills, inability to walk on a leash properly, inability to sit or stay in place, tearing up their backyard and some of the furniture by chewing on it, and jumping inappropriately. My owners informed me that I had a challenging task ahead of me with their dog. Challenge accepted. Needless to say, Rebel quickly adapted to the training; she is now walking without difficulty on the leash, sitting and staying in place, as shown in the photos below, and no longer jumping unless permitted, while my owners possess the tools and knowledge to manage this amazing girl.

On Friday morning I was proud to help a fellow veteran, an active duty member of the U.S. Navy SeaBees since 2002, train a pair of 8-month-old German Shepherd littermates named Freya and Runa. Both dogs were wild inside the home and were excessive barkers; they did not know how to walk properly on the leash without pulling. The dogs also did not know how to stay in place or at a distance and would jump enthusiastically when it wasn't appropriate. Now, the dogs are well-behaved; they walk smoothly on the leash, as shown in the photos below, separately or together, and they are staying in place and at a distance even with distractions. They no longer bark unless it is warranted or jump unless permitted. All training was accomplished without using food or treats to motivate the dogs, and my owner has the knowledge and tools to control these great-looking pups.

On Thanksgiving Eve I was thrilled to help a local school teacher on training her latest addition to be her sidekick. Let's meet Bentley, an 11-month-old Boston Terrier who was full of energy by jumping on friends and guests, didn't know how to walk on a leash without pulling, and didn't know how to sit or stay in place—overall, a bit of a hot mess. Now my teacher has the tools and knowledge to control this dynamic dog. He's walking smoothly on the leash as shown in the photos below, sitting and staying in place as well as at a distance with distractions, and isn't jumping on anyone or anything unless it's approved. All training was accomplished without using food or treats to motivate Bentley. On a side note, my owner was camera shy, and therefore she wanted only Bentley's picture to be in the photos and not hers.

On Sunday afternoon I was delighted to help an octogenarian, 81 years young, with an energetic three-year-old Pitbull named Charlie who bounced around the house on furniture, was difficult to walk on a leash without pulling, and did not know how to sit or stay in place, especially if the front door was open. Now rules are in place. Charlie is walking properly on the leash, as shown in the photos below, sitting and staying in place at a distance, and isn't jumping on anything or anyone unless it's permitted. My owner has the tools and knowledge to control this great-looking dog, and all training was accomplished without using food or treats to motivate her.

On Sunday afternoon I was thrilled to assist a wonderful lady who's retired from the government service as an administrator in training her very sweet nine-month-old Shih Tzu named Rio, who had a dark side; he was aggressive anytime she attempted to groom him, causing potential injury to herself. Furthermore, he was pulling on the leash while walking and did not know how to sit or stay in place or at a distance with consistency. Now my owner has the tools and knowledge necessary to manage and control this sweet boy. Rio's aggressive behavior while grooming has been addressed and curtailed. He's walking smoothly on the leash, as shown in the photos below, sitting and staying in place, and at a distance. All training was accomplished without using food or treats for motivation.

On Sunday morning, I was thrilled to assist a terrific couple who are newlyweds and drove an hour from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to have me train their newest family member, a 7-month-old Blue Heeler mix named Nanook. However, there was a twist: Nanook is 95% deaf in both ears, which presents a serious challenge for teaching him obedience. Even though the Nanook could not hear the commands, by using the leash and collar acting as a cue and the vibration from our voice, we showed him how to walk smoothly on the leash. Also, hand signals were taught to show him how to stay in place and at a distance as well as return when recalled. My owners possess the knowledge and resources necessary to manage this dog, who has a disability that would deter most individuals. However, they are a compassionate couple with immense kindness and genuine concern for our four-legged companions. So training was completed without the use of food or treats for motivation.

On Saturday afternoon I was thrilled to help a fellow veteran of the United States Air Force who served on active duty from 1984 to 1992 and then went to the reserves as an air mobility coordinator with her newest addition. Let's meet Miko, a great-looking, 9 mos old Yorkshire Terrier who is giving her owner some trouble by pulling on the leash while walking, not knowing how to sit or stay for extended periods, and jumping at inappropriate times. Now, without using any food or treats for motivation, Miko is walking smoothly on the leash, as shown in the photos below. She is sitting and staying in place at a distance and returning nicely, only jumping when appropriate. My owner now has the tools and knowledge to control Miko as well as her other companion who just recovered from surgery and wasn't ready for training, which saves her money. More importantly, my owner previously went to a box store trainer who never provided hands-on guidance with her dog to demonstrate right from wrong; she mentioned that the dog performed well only when treats were involved, which highlights the problem..

On Friday evening I was excited to help another terrific family train their three-year-old German Shepherd mix, Mali, since the shelter thought he favored a Belgian Malinois whom they rescued 2 weeks ago. Mali was mainly difficult to walk on the leash without pulling, only knew how to sit and stay for a brief period of time, and would jump on the furniture when it was not allowed. Now my owners have the tools and knowledge to control this great-looking boy. Mali is walking smoothly on the leash without pulling, staying in place and at a distance, and no longer jumping on anything unless it's permitted. All training was accomplished without using any food or treats for motivation.

Customer Review:

Mr. Powers offers an intensive structured dog training program which is well worth the monetary investment. The results in our shepherd's behavior exceeded our expectations. We can now walk him and sit in our front yard which he loves. He seems to really like watching the school buses and kids on bicycles. Our daily "homework" agenda will include walks on the street and car rides. Mr. Powers was very patient and didn't mind repeating the steps I was unsure about. I would highly recommend contacting Powers K-9 to determine what training options he can offer your family for your beloved pet.”

On Sunday afternoon I was thrilled to assist a wonderful lady who owns a 6-year-old, massive 114 lb German Shepherd named Raiden, who was too much for my owner to handle since her late husband, a college instructor and history lover, normally handled the dog. There were several issues regarding Raiden, such as the inability to walk properly on the leash without pulling and not knowing how to sit or stay in place or even load into the car for a vet visit or just a cruise about town. Now, only using verbal and physical praise, my owner can walk this great-looking dog, who sits and stays in place and at a distance with distractions and loads without effort into the vehicle as shown in the photos below. Her neighbor from across the street was shocked at how quickly Raiden could learn these tasks. All training was accomplished without using food or treats for motivation, and due to his size, treats were his downfall.
