Testimonials
“When we adopted our Whiskey girl, we immediately started training at home. We got her to sit, but we really struggled with getting her to walk without pulling at the end of the Leash. We signed up for training with Lynn at PetSmart…and we just didn’t stop. Lynn is so great about meeting dogs where they’re at and training the people to communicate with their dogs. Whiskey has graduated from Advanced Training and is now in the trick training class. We wish there were more classes!! I took our super nervous shepherd for a “test drive,” and Lynn had her taking treats from her hands in a matter of minutes. We start beginner training for that dog later this month, and we can’t wait!”
