Testimonials
“I just wanted to say thank you for all your help in training my pound puppy, Jax. In 10 lessons, I went from not even being able to physically control him on a walk to now walking into the vet with a calm, well behaved dog that I’ve always wanted! I was skeptical that 10 lessons would take care of our problems but they definitely have. You all have been fun, informative and I found myself looking forward with excitement for the next class. I also wanted to say thanks for the extra tips you gave me for my schnauzer, Mario. You guys all go above and beyond and I’m looking forward to starting the group lessons!!!!!!”
– Rachelle B. • Dog Owner
“I want to thank you for everything. To have a dog come when called is such such an important lesson. It is great to be out on a walk and not to have to worry about him going towards another dog…it is wonderful! To be total control is what I’m striving for and I know I will get it with daily training and the group classes. ”
– Mary N. • Dog Owner
