Client Stories and TestimonialsDog Runs In Arizona, many of our customers need to allow their small dogs access to the outdoors, yet keep them safe from the local wildlife. Here’s a look at what Tom Covell created.
Karen,
I used a abrasive saw to cut the pieces going down the stairs. It probably cost me about $150.00 to buy the material but I don't think it took me an hour to put it together.

Karyn -
I'm just writing to say thanks. About 8 years ago, you helped us train our dog, Xena. I had owned many other dogs before, but never a Siberian Husky. None of my previous experience at dog training was working with this one. The cost of your training seemed like a lot at the time. It has proven to be a bargain. Xena is the best dog I have ever owned. We can trust her off leash in wilderness settings (NEVER around traffic however). I often take her kayaking with me and when she gets tired of riding in the boat, I let her run along the shore while I paddle. She pays attention to where I am and stays in sight. She will sometimes chase after a deer, but after a short while she comes back. We could never have gotten her to this level of obedience without your help. As you may recall, she is a very willful animal. One of the tricks you helped us teach her was "Find Casey". We moved to Redding California about 5 years ago. The first summer here, we went on a hike in the Castle Crags. Casey was about 9 at the time. Feeling like a big boy, he went ahead of us down the trail and out of sight. The trail was well marked so we weren't worried, until we came to an overlook where we could see a long way down the trail with Casey nowhere in sight. We had noticed that Xena had been getting kind of agitated as we had been walking. When we realized Casey was lost, we were in a full-on panic. We told Xena "Find Casey". She took off back up the trail to a switchback. From there, she cut diagonnally across a steep scree slope disappeared into a grove of trees at least a quarter mile from where we were standing. In a few minutes, she reappeared, with Casey following. He had taken a wrong turn and was on a trail leading in the opposite direction from us. We were already a quarter mile apart, the wind was blowing, and he was out of earshot. He realized he was lost and had sense enough to follow Xena after she caught up to him. This could have been a very serious situation in another couple of hours when the sun went down. Needless to say, she got LOTS of treats for that trick. I've attached a photo of her from about a year ago. She's 8 now, but looks and acts like a much younger dog. Hope things are going well for you in Tucson. Look us up and come and say hi to Xena if you are ever passing through Redding. Regards, |

I
made the run out of the wire shelving usually used for a closet.
I got these at Lowe's and tied them together with wire and made
sure to bend the ends so that it would not get an eye or paw or
hand. The size I used was the 12" wide but they do have 16"
wide shelves that would do for a bigger dog.
If
you need some more information let me know. Hopefully the pictures
are good enough for you to understand what was done.
