Our Preview

Daisy – The Fearful Rescue

Daisy, a shy mixed breed from Braintree, had shut down after living months in a shelter.

We started with quiet, slow outdoor play and simple recall games to build curiosity and confidence.

In just three weeks, Daisy began running to the car, tail wagging, excited for her hikes.

“I can’t thank Elkhan enough. He gave Daisy her life back. She’s confident, playful, and finally loves the world.”

Cooper – The Barking Shepherd

Cooper, a two-year-old German Shepherd from Milton, couldn’t walk down the street

without barking at people and dogs. His owners said, “We tried treats, we tried walking

early mornings — nothing worked.”

We built focus through structured play and calm leash work. Cooper learned to channel

energy into engagement instead of scanning the environment.

After four sessions, Cooper walked through Quincy Center calmly and even ignored

skateboarders — something his owner never imagined possible.

“After working with Makes Sense Dog Training, I finally enjoy walks again. No more embarrassment, no more frustration.”

Luna – The Separation Anxiety Case

Luna, a one-year-old Goldendoodle from Quincy, barked and scratched the door every time her owners left

We focused on emotional balance, not obedience. Luna learned calmness through crate structure, short departures, and meaningful play.

After three weeks, Luna could stay alone for hours. Her owners said, “It’s like living with a different dog.”

This program changed everything. We tried trainers before, but nobody explained it like Elkhan. He makes everything make sense.”

Max – The Leash Puller Turned Partner

Max, a powerful young Pitbull from Waltham, used to drag his owner across the street.

We replaced tension with clarity. Using play motivation and leash awareness drills, Max learned that focus brings rewards, not resistance.

Now Max walks next to his owner with full attention. People on the street ask if he’s a service dog.

“I thought Max was untrainable. Now he’s my shadow. This method is pure communication, not force.”

Billy – The Street Dog Who Learned to Trust

Billy was rescued from Puerto Rico and had no trust in humans. He wouldn’t take food, hid in the corner, and froze at every sound.

We worked outdoors with long-line exploration, scent games, and playful curiosity.

Billy now plays fetch, greets new people calmly, and loves his off-leash hikes.

“Elkhan gave us hope when we had none. Billy finally feels safe and happy. No more fear — just joy.”

– Maria & Luis, Boston MA

“These are just a few of the hundreds of transformations we’ve achieved around Boston, Quincy, Milton, Braintree, and Woburn. If you’re tired of using treats and want real off-leash results, we’re ready to help.”
