Testimonials

“The reward system (click and treat) seems to appeal to Moe quite well. He went right to his “rug” today when we walked in the office and his mommy/my boss almost cried with excitement. We’re both understanding one another a lot better and this new form of communication makes us both happier. Thank you! We look forward to seeing you in class next week. Homework is becoming the highlight of our days.”
-Ashley, Seattle, French Bulldog Parent

“I went to the pit bull seminar and you gave me tips for my windshield wiper hating dog. I tried it from far away at first, until she was calm, and progressed on, working daily since the class. [about 1 week] I can now get in the car, turn on the wipers, and, though still a little anxious, she doesn’t lunge for them. It is a miracle. I love my dogs, but being in my own little world with them, this problem seemed hopeless. Pearl is now so much happier in the car… Thank you so much again for liberating Pearl from the land of the scary windshield monster, and me from the abhorrent act of putting the dogs in the car when it was raining.”
-Allegra, Issaquah, Pit Bull Mix Parent

“We are thrilled with the puppy classes we are taking and plan to continue for as long as there are classes to take. We have noticed a big difference at home in Roy’s behavior and our behavior. We think he’s a great dog and will only get better with your classes. Thank you for all your help and advice!”
-Sue & Floyd, Seattle, Labrador Retriever Parent
