Testimonials
It has been about 6 months since Tommy was in dog training camp with you and we just wanted to say we cannot thank you enough for really helping him beat his panic and anxiety. Not only did you help him develop into a more confident dog, but you also demonstrated to us how we could continue to change his life by giving him consistency and guidance. Thank you!
-Jack Forsythe
When we brought Layla to Megan, we were at our wits end and completely upset. She was eating our kids toys, the wall, couch, and tons of other items. We realized she was bored and needed exercise, but she yanked us so much that we could not really walk her because she was so powerful and we were scared she would get away from us. She definitely was trained a ton while she was in her dog training camp because she came back acting like a brand new dog. Thank you for the tremendous job you did with our girl!
-Diana Clark
Seriously, I am shocked! I am so happy that I asked my local facebook group for dog training in Highland Park recommendations. Megan came highly recommended and I see why. It is like we have a totally different dog that really listens to us now.
