When we brought Weezer home from the shelter, he had an unfortunate habit of nipping hard enough to draw blood. This was unacceptable around my grandchildren (ages 8 months, and 4, 8 and 9 years). The nine year old lives with me, and the others visit frequently, so I called the shelter and made arrangements to return Weezer. However, I’d heard of good results with board and train, and decided to try that before giving up on Weezer. Training Tracks has been wonderful with him—no more bi… Read more

Our dog, Lily, has been somewhat of a challenge from the beginning. As a rescue puppy, she was immediately a beloved member of our family, but we quickly noticed that she had more energy than most any dog we have ever come across. So, being excited new parents and looking for a way to rein her in at times, we enrolled her in Training Tracks’ puppy class. The results were incredible. And, when we ran into a rough patch with her after a traumatic period in our lives, we were able to get her r… Read more

Our rescue dog had some serious behavior problems. We hesitated to use Training Tracks because we didn’t understand what clicker training was. We are so glad we did not let that stop us because we ended up loving the positive reinforcement approach and found it to be very effective. Mel and Jeff are not only great at training dogs but wonderful at helping the humans understand the reasons behind the technique so you can apply it at home and in unanticipated situations. Before going to Trai… Read more

We needed personalized, in-home training for our 2 female dogs who fought with each other and who needed to be prepared for the arrival of a baby. We got help with these issues and so much more. Through the patience and knowledge of Training Tracks’ trainers, our girls are now well behaved and play happily as ‘sisters’. And, not only did we receive in-house visits, Training Tracks was available by phone for questions in between training sessions. Thank you for changing all of our lives!

I adopted Dusty, a shy and anxious Shetland Sheepdog, from a local rescue shelter in Ohio. Despite his good qualities, Dusty had many behavioral problems. He was terrified of men and other dogs. In addition, he ignored many basic commands. Training Tracks played a critical role in Dusty’s development into a well-behaved companion. Using positive reinforcement and specific training techniques, Dusty quickly transformed from a frightened shelter dog to a confident and obedient companion. … Read more

As a first time dog owner with a high-energy puppy, I had/have A LOT to learn – Mel has been an invaluable resource in getting both pup and owner on the right track! We did both private sessions and the Basic Obedience class and can’t wait to do another class in the future! Not only did we learn basic commands, but I was able to find a way to deal with my pup’s crazy energy that used to come out in lots of jumping/puppy nipping/attention-seeking as well as how to help teach him impulse-control (… Read more

As behavior consultants, Mel and Jeff Silverman have offered a service to this area that is invaluable. All new puppy examinations in my office include my suggestion that they attend puppy socialization classes. At my veterinary clinic we notice the puppies that have had this training because they are better balanced and are much more easily handled. They truly make better family members. I can be assured that those puppies that have enjoyed Mel and Jeff’s input will be much better appreci… Read more
