🐾 We LOVE hearing from our graduates’ families! 💜💚
There’s nothing better than seeing the progress our alumni and their people make together. Knowing that we’ve been able to make a positive difference in their lives is why we do what we do! 🐶✨
Here are some kind words from our alumni, Fenryr’s Dad GW Brown regarding his experience with us and where they are now!
🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾
“I got my goodest boy, Fenryr, when he was only nine weeks old. He is five now, weighs over 100 pounds, and is one of the happiest, gentlest, most joyful dogs I have ever known. A huge part of that is because of Morgan, the owner of NeonPawz K-9 Academy.
Morgan was instrumental in teaching me how to be a good dog owner. And I really do mean teaching *me*. At first, I thought dog training meant she was going to train Fenryr. I was wrong. She was going to train me to communicate with him, understand him, and give him the best life possible.
I came into this with some very wrong and harmful ideas. I was raised with corporal punishment as the primary form of discipline, and some of those abusive, punishment-based beliefs followed me into how I thought a dog should be trained. Morgan set me straight. Sometimes she did so very directly, and sometimes she told me things I did not necessarily want to hear. I needed that, and she was right.
She taught me that Fenryr should not behave because he is afraid of me. He should behave because we have built trust and developed a clear, consistent way to communicate. Training should reinforce good behavior and give a dog boundaries he actually understands.
One of the most useful things she taught us was a simple sound that means “No.” It is not an angry word or a threat of punishment. It is a clear signal telling Fenryr to stop what he is doing and look to me for direction. Even now, that one sound can stop him in his tracks.
Morgan helped me with everything. Potty training, crate training, teething, socialization, leash manners, recall, impulse control, bite inhibition, and basic obedience. Underneath every one of those lessons was the same concept: consistency. Dogs cannot follow rules that are constantly changing. Morgan taught me that I had to be every bit as consistent as I expected Fenryr to be.
That consistency becomes incredibly important when your adorable little puppy grows into a 100-pound Pit Bull and Husky mix.
Fenryr is extremely motivated by food and treats, so teaching him to wait and take a treat “gently” was a godsend. Just imagine a dog his size grabbing aggressively for a treat. That is not a good time for your hand. Today, he takes food with incredible care.
Fenryr loves the dog park and instantly makes friends, mostly with the humans, honestly. He rarely has problems with other dogs unless another dog has decided to be, scientifically speaking, an as***le. Even when something exciting catches his attention, he responds to us. If he sees geese at the park and starts pulling, a quick correction and his “No” sound bring him right back beside us.
He also believes every visitor is his newest best friend. He has this thing where he likes to gently put someone’s hand or wrist in his mouth and give them a tour of the house. I know that sounds terrifying coming from a huge, pitty-looking dog, but he is always incredibly gentle. If someone is uncomfortable, one word from me and he lets go. One word brings him to me, settles him, or puts him into a sit or down.
I sometimes worry that if someone ever broke into the house, Fenryr might happily lead them directly to all the good stuff. That is assuming they did not run away after seeing him first.
The greatest result of Morgan’s training is the trust Fenryr and I share. He is a huge and tremendously strong dog, but I trust him implicitly. I am comfortable having him around small children. He and I can play very rough, and I know he will never take it too far.
Just as importantly, he trusts me. He knows he is safe. He knows he is loved and cared for. I can see that in his body language and in the joy in his eyes every single day.
I honestly hate to imagine what his life could have been if Morgan had not changed the way I understood training. Thinking about this happy, joyful dog becoming a cowering animal who behaved only out of fear breaks my heart. It would have taken the life out of his eyes. It also would have taken so much joy out of our family.
Morgan is direct, compassionate, and willing to tell you an uncomfortable truth. Some people might think that sounds like a negative. It is not. It is one of her greatest strengths.
Morgan cares more about what is best for the dog than she does about protecting a human’s ego. That is exactly the kind of person you want teaching you how to care for your dog.
I would recommend Morgan and NeonPawz K-9 Academy to anyone willing to learn, with a very strong emphasis on the *human* being willing to learn. She did not just help me train my dog. She taught Fenryr and me how to understand, trust, and take care of each other.
I am Fenryr's human, every bit as much as he is my dog. Morgan helped us become the family we are today.”
