Testimonials
I highly recommend Carla’s dog training. To see the changes in my dog, Ruba after only 1 year of training is phenomenal. Carla is so highly skilled, loving, and patient with all the dogs. She individualizes training to the specific dogs even going as far to spend time researching the breeds to know their traits. For me the training is not only fun, it’s needed since it channels the high energy in my Ruba, turning her from a good dog into a great dog! And most important her training averted a catastrophe. Just recently she ran away from me, unleashed, into a heavily wooded area, after a herd of deer. Because she is trained she knows the command to return to me. And she did! If it weren’t for her training I fully believe the outcome would not have been as positive. Thank you Carla! I cannot highly recommend her services enough!

My family had adopted a 3 yr old black lab from the SPCA this October. I have taken him here for 6 weeks of obedience training. It has been a great experience for Apollo and myself. Lots of learning for everyone. Apollo has shown great improvement! We have signed up for another 6 weeks. Carla is a phenomenal trainer.
