Testimonials
“Raising a puppy is challenging. Not just for the black and white things like sit and stay, but most especially for the nuanced elements like potty training and crate training. There are things you can learn from a simple obedience class, and problems it takes the attention of a kind and dedicated professional to solve. Individual sessions with Debbie have been instrumental in helping my puppy, Bucket, to settle into and succeed at crate training. She even helped me to catch a UTI when his potty training seemed to be regressing. She has been excellent at examining my specific situation from all angles and providing support :)”
– Hailey and Bucket
