Testimonials
We sent our 4 year old Rottweiler for obedience training on Tuesday. By Friday morning he was found dead in his outside kennel during this extreme heat. He was an inside dog and I don’t know what happened I will never know. But I sent them a healthy happy dog and picked up a dead dog after 3 days. They took a piece of my heart and I would never recommend them to anyone.

AJ is really great! Our K9 buddy is really taking to his training. He has calmed down so much. And listens and focuses a lot better just after one session. AJ has really done wonders with him. Eager to see what round 2 will do.

AJ was just terrific with my spoiled cockapoo, Sami. Not only did he learn basics, but he’s more confident & graceful! We continue to practice & I find him more delightful daily.
