Testimonials

“We finished Petco puppy level 1 and a Separation Anxiety class with trainer, Brittany Becker. It was nice to work on basic skills. Brittany was focused on positive reinforcement and gave me extra steps to continuously challenge my puppy. She introduced different ways to creatively use skills for behavior management. I think you get out what you put in – my puppy made great improvements with focus and following directions. Brittany was a good role model for being patient and consistent in training our dog. Thanks for the help.”
