Was recommended to Spectrum/Ricky where our dog Zorah a Doberman entered into board and train for bite work. When she returned to us, we had a well rounded obedient Zorah. She was able to walk off the leash with an amazing heel, recall, etc. Knowing we had to obviously keep up with what was taught with obedience, we were excited with what we saw thus far and were excited to see what we would be trained on with bite work. We received a few decoy session (boogie man technique) but no bite work. Just Zorah doing a lot of barking. I am not going to knock Ricky’s training. I do, however, feel that his business is geared and focus is for the Belgian doggies, Police Dog Training. If you’re wanting your family dog to go through any protection training, I am sad to say that he is not the way to go. Ricky’s communication is very poor almost non responsive. And, when it was requested to receive videos of bite work/protection training, we got nothing. Prior to us moving, Ricky informed us that he knew of trainers that he would refer us to in our new state, no communication on that either. So, we were set out to find our own. Now far as obedience training, his colleague, Julio … 5 plus plus plus stars. Not only did Zorah get picked up from our home everyday, for day camp, Julio ensured that he spent some time with her obedience training. He would also watch Zorah when we went on vacations and as we transitioned with our move! I am not sure if this was part of the services BUT we would send group texts to Ricky and Julio with our requests, majority of the time, Julio would respond and we would just Venmo Ricky with additional $ so bite work/protection could be done with her. From September until we moved, end of June, we paid a total of $8,050. $5,700 of that was for the training that we did not FULLY receive. Our new trainer here, whom we found and began training mid July, in our new state, said that as far as obedience, Zorah is to the tee and would actually like us to put her in competition BUT her bite work, she has to start over because she is afraid. Her bark isn’t because she is excited to work, it’s more of a fearful Deterrence bark which steams from the “boggy man” training. Zorah barks but when there’s advancement from the decoy for her to bite a sleeve, pillow, toy rat tail, or whatever tool he has, she fearfully barks and backs away or tries to hide. He also feels that it will take a long time to get her to bite but instead, for now, he will just work on her being scared of the advancement, then try to proceed from there. Oh, and we only pay $180/month two days a week for his bite club AND he has boarding and daycare, etc. in house. He often pulls her out and tries to work with her, but, no dice. Same behavior. So, with this long post, protection training we thought we were getting and paid for with Ricky, is not what we got! Julio is AWESOME and communication is on point. Ricky is awesome as well, however, again, not with your family dog. We definitely got robbed and taken advantage of our $5,700!
