Testimonials

What can we say, other than Lexi has brought balance to our dog and to our lives. Without question she is our Cesar Millan (We think she’s better 🙂 ).
– Kenji Inuoe and Katey Zinn, Naples, FL

I simply cannot praise Lexi Hayden’s Fine-Tuned Canines enough. Our Lucas suffered from severe separation anxiety and other behavioral issues. We could not leave him behind without coming home to destruction. Lexi’s Board & Train program brought our whole family back in balance.

My sweet pup Marcie spent 6 weeks with Lexi at Fine Tuned Canines and she has done complete wonders for Marcie and my family. Marcie had severe thunder-storm anxiety… Lexi gave her a new life.
