Testimonials
“Auncia worked with our puppy golden who had his list of issues… she was able to work with us on specific issues we had that directly impacted our day to day life. He grew so much in the time he worked with her! He’s a great dog we can take most places we go! I recommend Auncia to every new dog owner I meet! I hope to use her again soon for a refresh and work on some new things that might be added benefits to have under our belt.”
– Erin B.
“Auncia is so amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. She has a wonderful perspective on dog training with a sense of humor and also knows when to be all business. She helped my daughter train and certify her psychiatric service dog. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!!”

“The time our Shepherd spent with all the difference in the world. When we have him out we often get compliments how well behaved he is. The month he spent with Auncia was well worth it. He had been to other trainers, but her’s was most effective and lasting.”
– Sam & Dale Carter
