“Enjoyed meeting my trainer yesterday. She spent an hour with Sydney and me. I learned sooooo much from her. She was fantastic with Sydney and taught us so much!! She is very talented and her easygoing manner put both of us at ease right away.”

“My trainer took a lot of care and patience with my energetic puppy. With his thorough work and focus on positive reinforcement, my dog Biscuit was a whole new dog after our training session. On top of that, I (first time puppy owner) received a lot of valuable information that really strengthened my relationship with my pup and I'm so grateful for his work and care. Absolutely will be reaching out to him again to continue training!”

“My trainer is great to work with. She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and training tactics. My dog, who is usually very shy and wary of new people , warmed up to her very quickly. She has great suggestions and ideas.”
