Dennis is very professional, patient and truly knowledgeable about canine behavior. He took the time to understand Paisley and created a great training plan. In just a few sessions there was a noticeable improvement in Paisley’s obedience, behavior & confidence. I highly recommend Dennis. Paisley is a much happier dog because of Dennis’ work with her!
