We started with Ashley 4 years ago at Puppy Class with our 8 week old Pyrdoodle, Alli. Best thing! She went on to take Beginner and Advanced Obedience. She is so well behaved – we take her everywhere! She roams outside with us on our 22 acres off leash with no issues. Highly recommend Ashley and her school!
