Testimonials
If I could do more stars I would. I have a 2 yr old Doberman and it only took a a week and a half to get her basic training down. Now I can walk her easily without a problem. Thanks Scott!

CTRG and Scott were great. One of 4 instructors for my service and certified therapy Dobermann. They were by far the best trainers we used. In fact we still use them for refresher training and boarding. Highly recommend!
