Testimonials
“Henry is a Chihuahua with lots of personality who also has a rebellious side. I have never used a training service before and was very apprehensive about it. During assessment Kristi helped calm those fears showing the compassion of helping Henry. Henry attended the two week camp and after the first couple of days his behavior started to change. While Henry was learning new commands us parents were being taught how to talk / help him with life long skills. I am very appreciative and grateful for the team.”
– Julie Burns
“Absolutely love the people here! They relate to you and your dog and always go out of their way to help fix any problem. I always get compliments on my golden retriever for being so calm and collected while out in public. They’ve made my dream of having a service animal come true and I couldn’t thank them enough for it!”
– Emma Dodge
“We were at our wits end with our Catahoula Abby. She was not listening, would nip at children, and was very aggressive around other dogs and people she did not know. After the first week, she has been transformed to a brand new dog. She Is now the best behaved dog I’ve ever owned. I have been training coonhounds and dogs my whole life, but these guys worked a miracle. I would recommend them for any dog, especially high energy dogs. They are kind, caring, and compassionate. Their tools and their practice is top-notch and very professional. We cannot thank you enough!”
– Clay Veurink
