Testimonials
“Huey was attacked by a bigger dog & started exhibiting aggression towards me and my husband; nothing we were trying was working. I was bitten 6 separate times and we struggled with what to do next as this behavior was getting worse. After only 5 sessions with Cheryl, Huey was a changed dog!!!! She used positive reinforcement in her training and was patient in ‘training’ me. I’ve recommended her to friends and will continue to do so.”

“Cheryl is fabulous! She thoroughly explained why we were having issues with our rescue and showed us how to correct his aggressive behavior in one visit. Our dog’s behavior is so much better now. Cheryl’s knowledge of products, techniques, and animal behavior is truly impressive.”
– Judi M.
“We adopted a 6 month old Jack Russel/Chi puppy and she was wild. Still plays very hard, but is much more well mannered thanks to Cheryl. After her first lesson, our Jessie was sitting, obeying ‘this way’ commands and giving us high 5’s.”
– Beth G.
