Testimonials
Mr. Glen did a great job with my Rottie. Gisela was behind on training due to illness. He help me get her in line. A weaker trainer couldn’t have done it. She went through her first heat cycle during his training making her extra hard headed. He didn’t shy away from the challenge and I’m honestly grateful!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. From the moment we arrived, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. They worked so beautifully with our dog, showing such patience, professionalism, and genuine care. It’s clear that they not only know what they’re doing, but truly love what they do.
Our dog was treated with the utmost kindness, and the results were absolutely fabulous — far beyond what I expected. The attention to detail and the peaceful, welcoming atmosphere made the entire experience feel elevated and luxurious. I am so grateful to have found a place like this. Highly, highly recommend to anyone who wants only the best for their pet.

Boots is so much more manageable with walks, jumping on people and obeys so much easier! I am not afraid of being pulled down anymore and feel more comfortable for people to visit. Glenn and Merideth were great to communicate and explain all lessons, easy to contact with prompt responses. I feel very comfortable for Boots to have spent 4 weeks with them and return a much more manageable family member. Thank you Glenn and Merideth.
