Testimonials

Brittin helped us so much with our puppy. If you are ever in need for a private lesson for your dog, I highly recommend Brittin Gibbs! I can’t express how great of an instructor she was towards my puppy.
As a new dog owner, Brittin patiently walked me through various techniques and lessons and made our life much easier. Rio was a very playful puppy(We thought he was aggressive). He had biting issues, jumping behavior and never followed our cues. He literally chewed up our furnitures, blinds, rugs. We googled and tried to figure out our way of teaching him good manners. Nothing worked and sooner we realized that we needed to get help from a trainer. I contacted several trainers and I’m so glad I found Brittin at Petsmart. I told her our concerns as first time dog owner and explained the stress we are going through with our puppy.

I am very thankful for Brittin breaking down scenarios to easily follow along when practicing with Rio. We started noticing changes from his very first class. We kept practicing the cues taught by Brittin. The training set a really good foundation of basic commands, and taught us how to best correct him. We were given really practical solutions that made him a lot more manageable. The second round of training added a new level of expectation and we felt like we brought home a completely different puppy.

My husband and I have said many times that it was some of the best money we have spent. Our home is more peaceful now and we have stopped asking each other why we got puppy (a conversation that was happening regularly at first). I have told many people about our love for Brittin and I mean every word! Our puppy is super happy at the facility and outside. And yes, our puppy love Brittin!

Now our puppy is been praised by other people. And also, he is behaving so good for his age. That’s all I could really ask for! Highly highly recommend!!
