Testimonials
Roxy did a wonderful job with our puppy! He is high energy and she was able to quickly share information to help me handle him on our walks. She definitely has the knowledge to train your dog and she does it without a stern voice or any other negative response! Louie loves her and I’m very happy with the results!

All I can say is – WOW. Roxy is a wonderful dog trainer and person. I welcomed her into my apartment for our first training lesson with my golden retriever, Tucker, and she immediately made him feel comfortable. I really like how she uses no force in training, and instead focus on understanding the dogs’ behavior and emotions. Throughout the training, she not only taught my dog, but she taught me how to train him on my own. Roxy was very good at communicating and made sure that I understood what she was teaching me and Tucker. She came in very well prepared and gave me a folder of forms that explained everything we worked on throughout the session. I would recommend her to anyone looking into finding a dog trainer, she’s the best!
– Client
Roxy is a very enthusiastic, caring and loving person who has a very contagious enthusiasm for dogs! Our dog immediately fell in love with her and began obeying the requests that Roxy provided. Her positive energy and her quick reinforcements were good for our dog and she modeled the human behaviors that we are developing to be better dog parents. The organized handouts and helpful texts that Roxy sends are very helpful. We appreciated both in-home training as well as assistance with training in public areas. Our dog and we highly recommend Roxy for finishing school!
