I lost my father and needed a place for his dog to go until I found a bigger house and needed my father’s dog trained. Steve and his family have been so awesome and the dog I brought them is certainly not the dog I am going home with. Smokey is so fully trained I am still in awe. He is an adult pitbull and they have transformed him into a beautiful obedient dog to all of us in my family. I never recommend anyone but if you truly love your dog and want to see a huge difference in your dog bring them here!!!
