Testimonials

“Obedience training for my ‘wild child’ (11 months malinois) is vital but the way Carla also trains me how to handle a very spirited working dog like Duke is so important for him and I to have a great relationship; and Carla makes it fun and she always has me cracking up laughing .. I look forward to being there every Tuesday.”
– Client

“I like dealing with a person who is a ‘straight shooter’ and gives me instructions clearly and to the point. That’s what you get with Carla. Leave your feelings in the truck and be ready to learn. She is the best.”
– Client

“Carla did wonders for my dog Barnabas! He is so well behaved. You have to trust in the system she has. He can go out now and be around dogs and people. He comes, heels, and does exactly what I say. He is so well behaved and Carla is fair in her training prices. I just love her! I highly highly recommend her.”
