Testimonials
What impressed us the most was Andy’s personalized approach. He took the time to assess Lulo’s specific behavioral issues and tailored the board training program accordingly. He not only addressed basic obedience commands but also tackled more complex behavior problems, making sure to cover all the bases.
– Johanna Reatiga
So many awesome things to say about our experience working with Andy! In just a few short weeks he has helped our reactive Cowboy be able to walk calmly and remain disciplined in the face of distractions. We have made so much progress in a short amount of time and look forward to continuing to work together. Andy is reliable, communicative, and knows his stuff. Would recommend him to anyone who asked.
– Will Manning
I can’t say how greatful we are to Andy for helping us with out girl. His patience and kindness did not go unnoticed. We have seen great progress with the issues we had with her and know that she will do great with the things to come. The biggest takeaway from this training is that the dogs only fail if the owners fail. Consistency is the biggest part. There’s obviously more work to be done on our part but with the things Andy has taught her and us, I have no doubt she will do great!
We highly recommend Andy and canine city!
