Testimonials
It has been 6 months since Tommy was in dog training camp with you and we just needed to say we cannot thank you enough for helping him beat his panic and anxiousness. Not only did you help him grow into a more self-assured and confident dog, but you also demonstrated to us how we could continue to change his life by giving him consistency and leadership. Thank you!
-Jack Forsythe
When we dropped off Layla to Megan, we were at our wits end beyond overwhelmed. She was eating our children’s toys, the wall, couch, and loads of many other things. We understood she was bored and needed exercise, but she yanked us so much that we could not actually walk her because she was so strong and we were scared she would escape us. She definitely was trained a ton while she was in her dog training camp because she returned home acting like a different dog. Thank you for the remarkable job you did with our girl!
-Diana Clark
Seriously, I am amazed! I am so pleased that I asked my local facebook group for dog training in Bannockburn recommendations. Megan came highly recommended and I see why. It is like we have a totally different dog that really listens to us now.
