We have a large pack of dogs ( 3 Golden Retrievers, 2 German Shepherd-mixes, 1 Newfie-mix and a Malnois) that we have reared in a very natural way. We allowed the dogs to create their own social hierarchy and we allowed them to create their own rules, regulations and routines. They ate when they wanted, ran out of the yard when they wanted and and pretty much did what they wanted. And it worked for me and Gary. Until we purchased a Golden Retriever named Wilson. Wilson took over. Even as a young puppy he bullied all of the other dogs. If the other dogs did not submit-he would start a fight. We were tired of the vet bills, the stress and the fear that one of our dogs would be killed. We called Ami.
The behavior that really concerned us was the fighting among our pack over food, toys and balls. The second concern was the territorial aggression the entire pack would exhibit whenever anyone walks past our house-it was frightening. Our entire pack of dogs would rush any visitors to our house instantly overwhelming them and even knocking them down. In addition, when we try to walk the dogs, they would pull us all over and charge at other people and dogs. Wilson the golden would pester guests for hours by putting a ball in their lap and barking at them to throw it.
In our first session which took about two hours we learned how to manage our pack better by becoming aware of their moods and trigger events. Now we look at our dogs as individuals and with Ami’s guidance we found out that Wilson did not reign alone, he had a helper– Belle the Malinois. Belle was always the perfect dog in our minds, she never really engaged in all of the big, objectionable behavior that the rest of the pack overdose on. But, by watching her with new eyes we saw that she supported Wilson’s harsh rule. If Wilson wanted to start a fight, Belle was right behind him as his support. Together they were a great team. She and Wilson were a tyrannic duo ruling the other five dogs with an iron paw. Ami Moore told us that we would have to regain our Alphatude from this doggy Bill and Hilary Clinton; and Ami said, “It is going to be tough.”
In our first visit we took back our backyard and our fence. Now our dogs sit and watch people walk by our home and they will respect our wishes not to bark with just one command. We can have all of the dog toys out in the backyard and the dogs don’t fight over them. Bear, the Newfoundland-X would be bullied by Wilson and Belle-but not anymore. Ami showed us how to create an Alpha-Bubble Space that includes anything that we want to control. We place our mark on the toys and the balls and the fences are our dogs leave them alone when we tell them.
Dinner time for the dogs was a nightmare! 
We had one thousand pounds of dogs running all over our house, jumping on us and our furniture due to their excitement about feeding time. Now, they all sit in their places, we place the food bowls in front of them and they eat one by one—nice and quiet.
We have an electric fence and all of the dogs would challenge it and run out and roam the neighborhood. Ami showed us how to retrain the dogs to the fence so that they respect the boundaries and now never cross. We took Wilson for one of his first walks around the neighborhood-and he is three years old! We were scared because Wilson would always lunge at any dog that would cross his path-not anymore! 
Our goal is to walk all seven dogs around our neighborhood at one time and Ami says that it is an achievable goal!
Ami has improved our quality of life tremendously. We are much less stressed, less anxious and less fearful. We enjoy our dogs and enjoy having them hang with us in our yard without excessive barking, lunging and aggression at the neighbors or between themselves. We are enjoying experiencing our Alphatude Attitude thanks to Ami the Chicago Dog Coach.
We are so convinced of the superiority of our dog training methods that we have issued an updated and revised
