Testimonials
I paid a full $800 for these folks tmwho promised great results with my 12 week old GS. Well.. obviously he was too young and didn’t retain much from their training besides a severe separation anxiety. They promised me they’d give me 2 weeks worth of training as he got a bit older to make up for it. But when I reached back out and kept trying to schedule it, I was completely ignored. I have messages and everything. They’re a joke, DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!
– Customer
I wouldn’t waste my money with them. Definitely a joke I sent my German shepherd puppy to them for 2 months which was very expensive, and he came back supper anxious and aggressive. Which he wasn’t before. He’s now worse than he ever was before I sent him and they blocked my calls and wouldn’t give a refund. Now stuck with a dog which was good before I sent him and terrible now around other animals and aggressive towards people.
– Customer
Paid for training he couldn’t train the dog said it was too vicious. With no refand Has avoided any phone calls or messages would not recommend.
