Testimonials

“We got our Pup back from the training boot camp in January, and I think Scott and Megan are really knowledgeable. Our pup seems to have picked up great foundations, especially for off-leash walks and settling down in public places–kudos to their training. However, the reason for my single-star review is that they shaved my pup’s hair without consulting us first. Since he is a Samoyed, if his undercoat is exposed, he’s prone to injuries or bruises easily. It’s been 3 months since we got him back, and we’ve been regularly visiting the vet for issues like bruises from his collar or injuries from playing with other dogs.”

“Easily the best money I’ve ever spent on a dog. The amount of time we would have invested in this, with subpar performance, makes it easily worth the price. She’s 100lbs of happy terror, but is super well behaved in public and at dog parks. People comment all the time and her recall was spot-on again today with TONS of cows walking around the park.”

“Scott worked wonders with my dog. When she was adopted as a puppy, I had no idea what her breed mix was, or what her personality would become. After a month I realized she was a German Shepherd mixed with…a Malinois. Not an easy breed. After completing Scott’s board and train program, she had transformed into a loyal, loving dog, who follows commands and is able to settle. I’m no longer afraid she’ll jump on my frail parents, or worried that she’s going to pull me over. She’s a wonderful companion now, just a pleasure to be around.”
