Testimonials
“EVERYTHING I had taught my dog at home I was told was wrong and inappropriate. ‘Here’ ‘sit’ are two of my biggest things, who doesn’t want their dog to sit by your feet as you listen?? To be yelled at, completely unacceptable. When walking my dog, I want her to walk BESIDE me, apparently that’s wrong as well. She should walk in FRONT of me, with me walking BACKWARDS, if she doesn’t like it DRAG HER?? Who wants to be drug along a sidewalk or gravel?
This entire course was a joke.”
