Testimonials

“Our family is working with Montana to train our 4 mo old Aussiedoodle. After 1 session we felt so much more confident that our puppy would meet and exceed our expectations to be a great companion dog to our extended family. Montana is an excellent teacher/trainer to both pups and humans. Her directions are SO clearly communicated- we learned what to do, how to do it and most importantly WHY we were doing it. She is magic! We hope to work with her for years to come.”
– Deb Meredith
