Testimonials
“Sully and I enjoyed the class and appreciate all the helpful tips you had to share and I learned a lot!”
-Meagan
“We love the sessions. And your trainers! Always so helpful and kind!”
-Cindy
“I just finished the 5 week beginner course with my 7 month old puppy. The progress she has made from the start of the training to yesterday had been incredible. Emily did a great job instructing the class and building confidence between my dog & me. They did a great job explaining products and got my dog a collar which has changed her walking tremendously. I can’t wait to come back and learn more in the fall!”
-Unnamed client
“I don’t know if I can fully express my gratitude and amazement for the training we received. I say ‘we’ because, while our dog did have some behavioral issues to work out, we also needed to make some changes. Karen truly cared and helped identify our problem areas and provided solutions. Our dog went from being socially anxious to being shown in a fair within a few months. Attaboy provides a great service but they also pour their heart into what they do, and it has made all the difference!”
-Unnamed client
“Before Alyssa and Sterling’s Reactive Rover class, my dog was overreactive, too excited to meet new people or dogs, not aggressive, but we learned it all stemmed from anxiety. Their class made a remarkable difference for both my dog and me. Previously, walks in our bustling neighborhood were incredibly stressful experiences. However, thanks to their effective teaching, my dog’s pulling and stress diminished, and he’s no longer an active threat to chase after cars or dog friends. I’m immensely grateful for the transformation!”
