Testimonials
“I can’t speak any more highly of Queen City K-9 Services. Ted has surpassed all of my expectations. My dog was part of Ted’s Board and Train program. We discussed my specific desires for my dog and Ted created a custom plan to meet both me and my dog’s needs. I have a rescue that struggled with anxiety and several other issues. Ted also taught me a whole lot about my dog. I thought I was pretty dog savvy, but I was taught so much about things from better dog handling skills to dog nutrition. My dog, Moose, is now a certified therapy dog. Ted works incredibly hard and gives 110% in everything he does. The support that Ted has given me since I got my dog back has been incredible as well. No e-collars were used throughout the training program either which is a huge plus. I researched many board and train programs. Queen City K-9 Services is truly the best!!”
