COMMENTS & PHOTOS

Charles and I were looking for a companion GSD as well as one that would protect our family, especially the 2 grandchildren (Jennesa 6 & Jordan 2) We couldn’t have made a better choice than coming to Cooperhaus Kennels. Your training style is nothing short of amazing and the follow up sessions you offer to your clients is terrific. In 4 short months Baron has bonded with our family as if we had been together for years. He is gentle & sensitive with the children & loves to play but when he comes up to Cooperhaus Kennels on his Saturday training sessions he senses where he’s going even before we arrive and can’t wait to get at that agitator!

He is obedient, loyal and a great companion and Charles and I wanted you and Calvin to know we would highly recommend your dogs to anyone looking for protection as well as a wonderful canine
companion.

We initially sold "Baron" at 9 months old. After just a couple of months, the person who purchased him contacted us and said he "was told" by another "trainer" that Baron "would never be a protection dog." We purchased him back and trained him ourselves and he turned out to be a very hard and great working protection dog that fears nothing as you will see in the video below when he takes down Steve, the agitator, on a long distance bite. Look at him in the clips below, just turning 2 years old. He is now a wonderful family protection dog that is harder than alot of police dogs I've seen. "Baron" is now proudly owned and worked by Charles and Barbara Miller in San Jose, Ca. Click on icons below to see video of "Baron" taking down the agitator on a long distance bite. Sorry for the poor quality, but when the agitator got knocked down, I got concerned and ran closer to have a little more control of the situation. Despite the quality, I had to include this awesome bite.

Here is a video of "Baron" taking down the "bad guy" during a training exercise.		Here is another video of "Baron" biting on the full body suit.

I trained my puppy Lucy myself. She did the basics pretty well and she was a good dog. As she approached one year old, she became aggressive to other dogs and even more distressing, she began lunging at people and growling at people.

I was also pregnant with my first child. I had to do something. Luckily a friend of mine told me about Cooperhaus Kennels.

Lucy attended the "live-in program". After she completed the program, my husband and I went to the kennel for our training. Everyone did very well. Lucy is now a great dog. She is no longer aggressive and great around my children. Brent and his father did a great job with her.

We have a 100+ pound Black Labrador Retriever puppy his name is 'Andre the Giant.' Dre was completely uncontrollable, well at least by me as he out weighs me. After several failed attempts at training him , I was about to give up. I have two small children and have not the time nor strength to handle such a wild dog. However my parents had just purchased a dog from Cooperhaus, and urged me to give their training a try. I was hesitant as Dre showed no promise of ever being obedient, plus I would never hear the end of spending that much money on Dre had it not worked. After talking with Brent several times, he assured me there was no dog he could not train. And he was right. I dropped Dre off at Cooperhaus December, 2005, and when I picked him up late January, 2006, I was amazed. Dre had become a perfect gentleman. He was a different dog. He was obedient on and off the leash. Dre is still a puppy and hyper by nature, but included in the Cooperhaus training is unlimited follow ups. Had it not been for Cooperhaus I was going to have to give up my dog. Brent did a wonderful job with Dre, and I highly recommend him. One of the best things about Brent is the bond he forms with his dogs. Both my dog and my parent's dog love Brent and get extremely excited every time we make the trip up the hill. Anyone with any doubts can definitely use me as a reference. I am convinced if Dre can be trained, any dog can. Thank you so very much Brent for giving Dre a second chance, and proving my husband wrong!!!!

Brent, I wanted to thank you for the first lesson with Willie. When I took him to his other class later that morning after class the instructor asked me if I had been doing more work with Willie because he listened very well and seemed to be a different dog.

I told him I did.

I was also asked by a couple of other classmates on what I did with Willie. I mentioned your name and gave them your number. They may call you.

I even jogged with him last night and he stayed right along side me and did not even try to go ahead of me. Brent, thank you again and we will be there on Saturday.

Your training is helping Willie be a better companion.

We would like to thank Cooperhaus Kennels for all their patience and professionalism when working with "Barny" our Olde English Bulldogge. The training in obedience he received exceeded our expectations. We now have a family member that can be taken on trips, in public, and around other animals. We would highly recommend Cooperhaus Kennels to all our friends and family for any of there K9 training needs.

Thanks again,
Garcia Family and Barny.

Hi Brent and Calvin,

I have a great story that just happened to me. I was home, dogs were out in back. I hear this commotion that was particularly ferocious from the dogs and I see the man in our side yard holding a shovel up and Klara and Sophie are right up on this guy and I yell through the window to put the shovel down! - (come to find out it is the AT&T man fixing the phone lines) As soon as he puts the shovel down I call off the dogs and they minded superbly.

I asked the man if he was okay.... "Yep but don't know if I can handle my tools now that I am shaking so much" ..HAHAHA. See what great trainers you are! I know if it had been an intruder and I had screamed and given the command, he would have been hurt. Let's hope that never happens. But I am glad to have that comfort.

See you soon

			We have a 120-pound Rottweiler named Pancho. He is a strong, independent, stubborn and loyal dog. As he got older he became aggressive towards people, including my wife and 3 daughters. He would invite the attention from everyone, but then turn on them if they even tried looking at him. We started to get worried because we couldn’t trust him people in general unless I was around. We decided he needed training and began basic training with a club in San Jose. The training worked with sitting and staying but did nothing towards his aggression. Pancho continued to get more aggressive and finally we decided he needed real help or I would have to give up my best friend. We found Cooperhaus Kennels online and liked what we saw and read. We sent them an email explaining our situation and got a response from Brent the same day. Brent said they handle aggressive dogs, explained to us the program, and than we discussed some of the recent dogs he had trained. My wife and I were impressed and took him in for an evaluation. Upon meeting Brent, Pancho showed severe signs of aggression. Brent suggested the 4-week Boarding and Training. The program was later customized based on Pancho’s aggression and he ended needing 5 weeks (the first week Pancho was the dog from Hell).

For the first few weeks, I was worried that the training wasn’t working and Brent would call me and ask me to pick up my crazy dog. But after the 2nd week, Brent called us with great news, Pancho had accepted the training, let Brent work with him and was moving along well. We were so excited and couldn’t wait to see the difference in our dog. 5 weeks felt like 5 months without my best friend! The time came to pick Pancho up and I couldn’t believe the difference! Our dog was off-leash with several dogs running around him and listening to every command Brent, my wife and myself gave him. He was even allowing others to pet him without any signs of aggression. We were really impressed and amazed! My wife has since learned to handle Pancho and is always impressed on his response. She feels confident and worry free when I’m not around. To this day she tells everyone that it was the best decision she made to send Pancho to Cooperhaus Kennels. We continuously work with Pancho to make sure that his training is worked regularly and we also attend Cooperhaus K9 training on Saturdays. This keeps him, and us, on top of his training so it is always fresh in his mind. We thank you Cooperhaus, for changing our dog, teaching us how to be better dog owners and taking our worries away. We now have a family dog that we can trust to be around us as well as others. We can’t wait to get him into Cooperhaus Protection Training. That will be the icing on the cake for our big, strong, and loyal dog. Thank you, Sandro Renteria and Family
