Testimonials
“Blue came home so much calmer and his leash manners are FANTASTIC! In three weeks he has given us the skills to continue our working dog’s training at home AND has my 6 mos. old pup doing great in obedience, heeling, recalls, and Agility. He’s calmer and more socialized around other dogs and people. He has given us confidence to go out in public with our new leash skills.

Anthony has so much knowledge about effective dog training! He trains the owners on how to train their dogs. Once I knew how to handle my dog correctly, everything has fallen into place. My dog Flash stays engaged during his training sessions and he understands and responds very quickly with each lesson. Love the Saturday group sessions! Worth every penny!
