Testimonials

“It was a great class. Raven had fun and learn a few tricks.”
– Annette

“David was a great trainer and always available even when we weren’t in the training hour and understood each individual need and addressed them during class.”
– Cali

“David is such a wonderful trainer! We took the beginner class with him for our 6 month old puppy. I’ve seen a huge improvement in how he interacts with us when we’re outside! Leash training was wonderful and David really taught us a ton on how to work with our pups. Will be back for the intermediate class!”
– Pat
