“Nero”
I had the wonderful opportunity to work with John Skelton, Quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals professional football team during October and November 2011. John and I worked with his dog Nero. I helped John understand the ‘fear based’ behaviors his dog Nero was displaying at both the bark park and at home. John and I worked together on; pack leader skills, dog calming signals, dog communication signal and the importance of K9 socialization. The initial evaluation and working session were conducted at Nero’s home, and subsequent sessions were managed at Bark Park and the Mall. Nero’s confidence has greatly improved, and his behavior shows he is much more comfortable in bark parks and unusual environments. John is a committed dog owner that really grasps the concept of interaction and dog socialization in varying situations outside the home.

“TOPAZ”
Five months ago I became the owner of an abused dog. She had ticks, no name, no water bowl, You name it! She was 60 pounds of unruly dog! I thought I could love her into good behavior…. Wrong! I came to the conclusion that we needed professional help and quick. Angel Dogs trainers Eileen and Christina helped me to reverse bad behavior that had developed from being left in a back yard for her first 6 months of life. Now “Topaz” is a joy to walk, play with and live with. Angel Dogs is a professional training service that is about your dog and you. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to train their dog.

Special Tribute
We would like to introduce Shelby. She is our survivor dog addition to our family, joining us in late January of 2003. E-mails were being distributed fast and furious by some close friends whose office is located in a commercial business park in Tempe. A disheveled, dirty, lonely looking dog had shown up on the door step to their office, full of milk and no puppies to be found. They started feeding and giving water to this poor dog and she made a home at the entrance to their office. We had no intentions of taking on this dog with a Siamese cat who ruled the roost, but we decided to take her in until we found her a more permanent home. Two days and 2 baths later, our Shelby went from black to blonde who was instantly responding to love and attention. With food and a comforting touch she began to trust us. Several months later we called “Angel Dogs” to join a group. So far we have completed Basic Obedience and are now attending an Advance Obedience Group. Shelby has took to training and loves going to school. We look into her brown eyes and we see nothing but “Thank You” and love from our Survivor Dog! Thank you Eileen and Christina, we now have 3 angels in our lives.
