Testimonials
Debi is a lifesaver!! She is helping me once again as we are doing Puppy K with my new pup. I could not navigate puppy/dog hood without her!! 109% recommend❤️
– Monica Hughes
If my dog could talk she would tell you how much she loves coming to training here. We come to class in Sundays and it is the highlight of our day. My dog gets so excited when we pull in the parking lot and when we get inside for training she has such a good time learning she doesn’t want to leave. The trainers are excellent and professionals that encourage you and your dog to be successful with training.
– Kathy Feldmann
Debi is a great puppy/dog trainer! I have been taking my dogs there for appx 20 yrs. I am now once again doing puppy kindergarten w/my new puppy. Even though this is not my 1st dog, there is always something to learn. Of course the socializing is very valuable, as well. She truly cares about the dog & wants us to be successful. Her place is easy to get to. Clean & spacious. Her prices are probably the best around.
