Testimonials
“I took my Doberman puppy to training, with Terri January it’s the best decision I ever made. My puppy wouldn’t listen to me it was very hard to train her at all. The only thing I was able to teach her on my own was to sit. She would jump a lot. Once she finished the beginner training session, my Doberman was able to walk on a loose leash, down, and focus. In addition, to jumping less. I took her to intermediate training and my dog became more obedient.”
