Testimonials
“I have just had my first session with Teena who is a seasoned dog handler and Shelter worker. She gave me a direct, meaningful evaluation and suggestions that have had an immediate impact on my ‘Bud’. Bud is a very abused rescue having trust issues. You really need to talk to Teena – She is not a ‘pusher’ so trust her.”
– Richard S. from Nextdoor
“Teena is a great communicator and I grew to trust her quickly. She has a positive relationship with the shelter from where I adopted my dog and that is extremely meaningful and valuable. I am very glad to have found her for caring for our family pet.”
– Vanessa G.
“Teena has been working with my dog for almost 3 years. She is friendly, dependable and professional. She has a very calm, patient manner that really works with my dog. Because of her walks, he is now easier to control. Best of all, he loves her. He actually gives her a hug when he sees her! I highly recommend Teena for dog-walking and training. She is awesome!”
