Testimonials
Our trainer was great and easy to work with. We sent our 5.5 month old puppy for the two week board and train. It’s obviously hard to send your pup away, but we got great updates on not only her training progress, but also all the fun she was having. We were worried she wouldn’t want to leave her to come home! Having a solid base with her training has made it so much more enjoyable to continue working with her ourselves, and she loves having the freedom to be off leash and run around the property!

I would give our trainer 100 Stars if that were an option. My dog Luke and I learned so much from Marcy. This training has been life changing for us. I can let him run off leash every day which he needs. After this training, I feel confident that he will sit and stay, come and other commands that are needed for his safety and my piece of mind. Our trainer is kind, knowledgeable and patient. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with Marcy to train your dog.
– Abigail M.
HIGHLY recommend. We sent our 8 month old pup Winston to the 2 week board and train with trainer Travis. Prior to the training our pup was very hard to manage on leash, nervous peed inside, very anxious and would not go through any doors. Travis was extremely patient and went at Winston’s pace and we went home with a brand new pup! Winston came home with so much confidence. He can now go through doors with ease. He only pulls on leash when he is excited about something. He can even be trusted off leash which we thought would be super hard to accomplish due to his high anxiety. We got many updates and communication was great. You could really tell that Travis cared so much about our pup and made sure that we had no questions going home.
