Testimonials
Deb was incredible to work with! Alex and I were new puppy parents and even though we had a plan we were still very much overwhelmed with making sure we were doing the best for Grizzy. From day one Deb helped us feel confident in our training, answered every question we had and encouraged us every step of the way. Would highly recommend Deb to any new overwhelmed puppy parent. She’s extremely accommodating, knowledgeable, and flexible with her schedule and was really just an overall joy to work with! (Grizzy is now 7 months and is just the perfect boy)

Deb Murray is somewhat of a dog trainer/lifesaver wrapped into one. The knowledge you gain when you use her services for your puppy is invaluable. Always follows up her session with videos of what you worked on that day. If you live in Rehoboth or any of the surrounding areas and mention your excellent dog trainer, most people say, oh Deb Murray, she’s the best!!

I hired Deb to help me with my new puppy, Louie. I’ve had many dogs before but I wanted to get a leg up on training. Deb was kind and patient and I learned a lot of tips and tricks. Louie was very comfortable with her as well. We learned a lot in our time together and continue to learn. It really helped me understand some of Louie’s logic and be able to work with him much better. Thank you Deb!
