Testimonials
“We were very pleased with our experience with Johanna. This is not your basic obedience training (though I’m sure she can do that, as well!). She really knows the psychology behind behavior issues in dogs as well as the problems it can cause within a household. Her approach is very comprehensive, positive, and she is a kind and caring individual. I now feel that I have the tools I need to manage my dog’s issues and help her and my family feel safe and secure.”
– EG Smother, Online Dog Training
“As first time dog owners my husband and I needed some help training over energetic puppy! After a couple of weeks, our friends and my husband and I noticed a huge change for the better in our puppy! The training classes helped and changed our busy lives for the best!!!!”
– Colleen O’Donnell Studzinski
“I love them. Before they came, my dog max, didn’t know how to sit for anything. He kept pulling on the leash when we went for walks on our road, and he kept not waiting when we tried to take him out. He would bolt out. Now he sits a waits for the leash to get it on him. He’s such a great listener now.”
– Rachel Downey
