Suzanne Merza From Sydney Australia Comments On Her Time With Kris and Tonia Kotsopoulos From Von Forell Kennels

An enormous thank you to Kris and Tonia Kotsopoulos

I flew to Melbourne Victoria in an effort to educate myself and have a better understanding of dogs development, capability and address certain behaviors.

I was in shock to not only see how my dogs relate to certain situations, but more importantly why they behave in the way they did.

The truth is, I invested in a very costly trip to go to Melbourne not being 100% convinced that certain incontestable dog trainers methodology is what's caused my dogs to react the way they do and resorting to offering behaviors to avoid punishment.

Kris didn't have to perform any miracles to expose my dogs so I could see their behavioural issues. He simply let the dogs be and let me clearly witness my dogs in their natural state which confirmed in my mind what I thought all along, only now I know the reasoning behind it all.

I wish to express my experience with Kris and Tonia in writing as it compels me to shed some light on others who may not be aware of their actions affecting their dogs behaviour. It has been a very touching experience and more importantly a huge eye opener for me to see what has been firmly pressed in the social conditioned dog training industry.

For those who are wanting to exceed their dogs training experience whether it be tracking, obedience, protection, sports.. Give Von Forell a call you will not regret it. 

DO NOT allow uneducated trainers to poison your mind regarding your dog/s or Von Forell’s training systems. When your dog demonstrates his/her true character you will realize that it's us as handlers who have unknowingly created the suppressed attitudes our dogs have because we have adopted the old training systems from others.  Don't damage your dogs spirit because other trainers/behaviourists have put you in an obligational position to elevate their own business.

People have expressed all sorts of opinions about Von Forell training systems, the bottom line is that the DOGS DONT LIE and Kris's Knowledge and understanding of Dogs shows you just that. Simply pure. 

There are no manuals, no dog training scripts that can show you what you get from your visit to Von Forell. Kris clearly opens your Mind by allowing you to see what your dog has been trained to do and he patiently lets you connect to your dog/s so you can wash out any previous dangerous training, so you can help your dog progress and lift his spirit.

This is ALL demonstrated to you by your Dog, not Kris. Kris and Tonia are there to translate as to why the Dogs are being or reacting the way they are.

Never get lured or convinced by the masses. If anything I’ve learnt that the dog arena is a horrible lot of uneducated unethical and dishonourable amateurs.

Kris is a Man of his word and proves his humble ways by giving the warmest welcome and allows you to see for yourself. 

Word the the wise, before purchasing a puppy or risk taking your dog to any event, give Kris and Tonia a call and arrange for your dog to visit Von Forell and see him/her for what he really is.

Im apauled at the level of behaviour other Kennels out there perceive Kris. I see it know as pure jealousy and lack of morals as a human being. Those who don’t know can only speak dishonestly. Kris and Tonia don’t speak about others in the arena, their main and only focus is helping handlers achieve what’s in the best interest for the Dog.

We all want the best out of our dogs so do the right thing and have an open mind and visit Von Forell for yourself and make your own decision.
