Testimonials

Keisha, Bailey, & all of SDTA team have been wonderful. I sent Samson for the board and train program and I noticed his behavior responses in public was phenomenal. No harsh persistent leash pulling, neutral yet curious about new things like people/dogs, and improved overall obedience.
We are now doing service dog training. I am excited to take his training to the next level. I am excited to learn more from SDTA.

Keisha and Bailey have been working with me and my pit-mix Bella for the last several months. We have done a combination of one-on-one training, group training, and boarding training. Keisha was able to identify right away what Bella was struggling with and sent us home the very first day with exercises to practice, which yielded immediate results.
They are very patient with letting us work in training based on our schedules and Bella’s needs, and always deliver on their promises. They have also gone above and beyond to make sure she gets the exposure she needs to work on specific triggers and not just treat her the same as any other dog. We have had a fantastic experience so far and know we are always in good hands.

We’ve been taking Ace, our 4.5-year-old pittie mix, to train/board with them for the last four years. Our first encounter with Keisha and Valerie was when we took Ace to train with them for a 2-week in-house training. He was a 6-month-old rescue from the SPCA, and he came back to us knowing commands, very obedient, and easy to walk. They are very detail-oriented in their training regimen and are happy to answer any questions you may have about training. Keisha and Valerie love what they do, and it shows.
Ace loves Kiesha and Valarie, and that is the only place we will go to board. We know he is safe and loved when he stays with them. He always comes back happy, healthy, and better behaved.
