My husband and I took our German Shepherd to Ted Efthymiadis in 2012 when Luna was a 6 month old puppy. Ted’s education, tools and strategies supported us through her puppyhood, adulthood and elder dog years. Our family travelled, hiked, swam, and lived every day of Luna’s life outside and off leash. Luna was self controlled, predictable and obedient thanks to the foundation Ted taught us to build. She was trusted and beloved by children, seniors, neighbours, and her vet due to her calm and non-reactive nature. She was a dream to walk on leash and could be handled by children and seniors. We lost our sweet girl in Nov 2024. Looking back on 13 years with Luna it is clear that the amazing life we shared with her was made possible thanks to Ted. He will always have our deepest respect and gratitude.

K-Line

We started training when she was about six months old, and I quickly realized this wasn’t about training her… it was about training me to be a better handler.
