Testimonials
“Theia is our 6-month-old, near 60lb Bernese Mountain Dog who has done quite well with basic puppy training… we saw Theia’s behavior change immediately. Now a week later, we still see a great change… The biggest thing I realized during this training was not that Theia was being trained to do what we needed, but that we were being trained on the correct communication skills.”n- Mark Renshawnn
