Sue Sestak / USMC
I am Sue Sestak and this is my service dog “Lady”. Something unbelievable became believable and I must say life saving. Before Joe at “Operation Dog Tag” Lady was so unruly, disobedient and outright obnoxious, which triggered my depression and PTSD even more. I am so glad I contacted Joe Scheffer. With his experience, skill and professionalism in training dogs and working with people, he helped me not only to train Lady but also myself. I now have confidence, leadership and understanding on how to properly handle Lady and now she keeps me focused on the “now”. She is now so obedient, calm-attentive and loyal, (my battle buddy). I also have arthritis and balance issues, Lady is trained to retrieve items and to keep me upright and steady. If it wasn’t for Joe the unbelievable would still be and I would be in a very troubled state of mind.
