Testimonials
“DeAnna made time immediately to come help and even took time to speak with the leasing office, letting them know of the plan. After only one training session, he was already almost completely silent while I was at work. Now, he doesn’t bark at all. He is also much calmer around loud noises and easier to settle down if he does get riled up. DeAnna is also incredibly knowledgeable in dog health… In just a few weeks has noticeably lost weight, has more energy and pep in his step.”
-Kelli Schink
“We got a dog from the shelter a year ago that quickly grew from 35 lbs to 90 and we didn’t know how to control some of her behaviors. From our very first lesson DeAnna has been able to teach us how to work on behaviors such as dog jumping, nipping, staying in her place and not running away. I wish we had found out about her sooner because the results were truly life changing.”
-Galina Snook
“Deanna worked wonders for our family! She taught our 2 dogs to be more obedient around our baby and also worked on their aggression towards food. Now our baby can walk around freely, even with food in his hand, without my worry of the dogs grabbing it out of his hand.”
-Kris Bunker
