Training gave us our dog back.
This started with our own dog, Pumper. He was out of control, we nearly rehomed him, and a training program turned it around. Now I help other families do the same.
I'm Angela Benazouz, and Spotted Potential K9 Training started with our own dog, Pumper.
We're a firefighter/EMS family. With 24–48 hour shifts, there was no consistency for Pumper, and it showed. He was peeing in the house, he chewed through thousands of dollars of patio furniture, and he was dominant, prey driven and chasing squirrels. He was out of control. Our sweet dog had become a stressor, and we seriously considered whether rehoming him would be the kinder thing to do.
Then we found a training program that turned it around. We saw visible improvement in Pumper in the first couple of weeks, and in about eight weeks he was transformed.
That's why I started this business. I want other people to be able to fully love and enjoy their dog — to take them places, the way I can now fly with Pumper without it being a hassle. That's what our name means to me.
