Testimonials
“Training/trainer (Renee) highly recommended! Wish we’d gone sooner. Reading training books didn’t cut it. Folks kind of turned their noses up when we told them where we were going but not true. Renee was great-very knowledgeable. Group we trained with was fun — helped put the training and your pet’s behavior in perspective. Specials and sales nice. Looking forward to next class.”
