I can attest to that, our Great Pyrenees pup was having serious issues with biting, aggressive biting all family members and we were getting poor advice from others that escalated the behaviors. Roman Gottfried turned it around in the sessions and our dog has reached higher levels of behavior that we could have ever expected from any dog we ever had in our home.- Laura Koelsh usa
I was scared she would bite me
January 6th
I got a FB message request:
“Hi Roman, my heart is broken. We are a family of four 2 beautiful EM with us since puppies and a brindle EM/Boxer female we rescued 1.5 years ago. She came from a drug house filled with abuse physical and emotional and bred at a very young age . She was pulled off the streets from an animal rescue. They posted her picture the rest us history . Through out her time with us we have overcome many hurdles. We feel that we have gained her trust and have given her love and a stable family . She is the pack leader which I’m not sure is normal for a new dog to come in and take over or not but she rules both my boys who really don’t care one way or another. Sorry trying to make this short , I am with her the most I am vet attentive to her as I guess we always feel bad for her . Bottom line Roman she bites me a lot and it’s always when I am giving her loving attention. She gives ever indication she want the pets and love and her body language and her talk says she is loving it and then BAM out of the blue she goes at my face . I have several marks on my face over a two week period but it is always me that she does this to . I am ready to give up and just leave her alone . I love her and will never forsake her but this breaks my heart ♥️. Thanks for listening

But there was another problem:
“We didn’t have the money for private but i truly believe no one understands more than you”
The solution:
I had a online workshop coming up and also tons of videos on my YouTube channel so I had them subscribe and watch specific videos.
Yesterday I got tagged on a post:
Roman Gottfried is not a dog trainer. ( Well not your typical one)
His ability to read and understand the needs of dogs is beyond any trainer out there today. Dogs are family and should be treated as such.
He understands that the beloved canine in the house isn’t a thing to control but to be loved, listened to, respected and taught how to behave in this human environment, which they didn’t ask for, we picked them. Roman under stands their feelings, how they think and by their body language what their mood and health . You won’t hear him use harsh words , no harsh equipment and no out of bounds in the house unless it is your wish or a danger . So for those that want their dog acting robotic, obeying your every wish, and continue to humiliate your loved one , please don’t go to Roman, he is not your guy !
Although i hate this picture of me , this is our Zoe Zelda who was a rescue with abusive issues. A year ago I would not have been able to get this close to her . We were scared for her ,
I sent two videos to Roman , and he identified her concern and over time we addressed it with her. We have had her two years now and the care and concern Roman had for her was her cure !!
Never give upon them!
This got my surprise and I have to admit that I had tears in my eyes. People love their dog’s, they are vomited, they need help, and some times they don’t have the financial strength to buy services.
I wish I could help them all but it all has a price.
Last year I donated 600 hours in online consultations for low income and rescue cases.
You can help make a difference, by helping me supporting those in need, to get the training necessary to keep the dogs in their homes and not surrendered to the shelter, Or put to sleep.
Your Videos Helped Us Comunicate With Luci
September 9, 2015
Just wanted to let you know that You have been a HUGE asset to us both and Luci! Your videos have really helped us to understand how to communicate with Luci. She has picked up on things so quickly once we watched your videos and applied your "wise wisdom." We joke and say that we were the ones that needed the training, and not her.. Have a AWESOME Day!

Testimonial: I Never Imagined Myself In That Position
Testimonial: What in the world is a Hot-dog Test?
Guest Blog - Sharyl Hardy- Austin Texas
“I probably never shared this story, lol. After I adopted Corbin, I kept tabs on his last remaining brother (Saber, now Sega). They had been fostered together with their littermates and I felt badly about separating them. Sega was still unadopted about a month after I brought Corbin home and I emailed the rescue to find out his status.
Sega had actually been "adopted" twice and returned by two families that felt he had too much energy. So he bounced around to two more foster homes and I felt terrible about that.
So, Corbin was in training with my friend Roman during the time I was checking on Sega. I tried finding him a home myself but no interest. I finally asking Roman what he thought about me taking Sega in addition to Corbin. And he told me I should let Corbin decide.
When I laughed and asked how, he suggested a brilliant idea. He told me to go into the other room and on a sheet of paper, write out the options. So, on one half of the paper in my office I wrote: "Bring Saber home" and on the other half I wrote: "Saber stays there."
We took two pieces of hot dog (high value treats for training) and I placed a bit of hot dog under each option. Roman said, whichever one Corbin takes first, is his choice.
What's funny was, neither one of us knew how it would work out. I thought Corbin would gobble them both and be done with it. But Corbin actually took one...and totally left the other one on the paper, which stunned me. He never went back for the other piece of hot dog. So....in effect, Corbin told me he wanted his brother with us too.
And that is the "hot dog test." " - Cheryl Hardy - Austin Texas, USA
